Hermana Milne’s Mission in Cordoba, Argentina

Hola todos!!  It was another super good week here in San Fran! I'm finally starting to remember peoples names and how to get places which is very helpful! On Friday we were out working with one of the cute members who's about to leave on her mission and this old man outside of his house started talking to us. Obviously we were happy to talk to him and tell him all about Jesus! He started talking about how nobody dies and all this stuff. He then told us that he has a shrine of a 5 year old girl who died and asked if we wanted to see it. Obvio we said no, and tried to end the convo, after a few more minutes of him rambling (and calling me beautiful) we left and went on our way. Then a few days later I was looking at the carpeta and realized that he was a red point, and the elders that made it said “Suerte (No Lo Contacten Literal, Tiene Un Demonio)” which basically means: good luck, he's got a demon. Whoops lol Some fun highlights: We went to Córdoba and I did my trámites so ...

Since I wrote my last email literally like yesterday there's not a ton of updates, but overall San Fran is seriously so awesome!! All of the members here are literally the best! There are 2 girls who just got their mission calls to go to Brazil in April, and one more who is waiting to get her call! And all of them said they can come help us whenever we need! So member lessons are about to be popping off this transfer!! We also somehow happened to meet soo many of the members in our first few days, one of them pulled over his moto to introduce himself, and we ran into like 4 other members just walking in the streets! Literally everyone is so excited to have hermanas, the elders before us were awesome and were killing it, but this area just really needed some hermana love! So we're gonna be nice and busy this transfer! Our pension is far from ideal but I'm learning to love it, cockroaches, broken fridge, cold trickling water and all We also took literally no photos these last...

So basically so much has happened in the week and a half that I don't even know where to start!  We had a conference with Elder Costa! It was seriously soo good! Afterwards we had a little meeting with only the hermanas and hermana Costa which was literally incredible! I always love conferences, but this one was by far the most spiritually uplifting experiences I've had so far! Brahian got baptized!!! This was seriously a miracle, basically everything that could go wrong, went wrong. But in the end it all came together perfectly!! We put a fecha on our friend Alma!! Her mom is an inactive member, and her grandparents are both members. And she is sooo excited to get baptized!!  On tuesday night I found out that I'm leaving Santa Rosa to go to San Francisco! (Argentina not California:)) and my new comp is hna grimshaw! She's seriously the cutest! This is her last transfer which is loco! And we're white washing an area that had elders before! Overall I'm super sad ...

Summer Vacation is starting here and it is actually crazy. Centro is always packed, and the rio is full of drunk shirtless men! One day we were walking back at night and there was even more drunk kids out than usual, one kid started yelling at us in English, “where are you from”,“come backk, talk to me pleasee” which we thought was pretty funny The other hermanas have this friend named Brahian (bryan) who was supposed to get baptized yesterday! They scheduled his interview for Thursday, but they had to go to Córdoba that day so me and my comp went to help him do the interview! The day of the interview, the hermanas message us and say that Brahain doesn't have his phone anymore, so if we see him in public, remind him about the interview. Basically we never see him, and he doesn't show up for the interview. We decide to try and call his phone number to see, and this dude answers and says that he's Brahian’s friend and that he gave him the phone, but he didn’t know where he wa...

Chao 2023!! I actually can't believe it's already new years! Time is seriously flying by! But I'm so excited to get to spend all of 2024 as a missionary!! I've already met so many incredible people and learned so much in the past few months! This time last year I didn't even think I wanted to serve a mission, and now there's no place I'd rather be! It's crazy how things change! This week we met Sol, who actually might just be the sweetest person I've ever met! We had one lesson with her and it went soo good! She bought us some juice and we talked all about the gospel by the river! For New Years we got to stay out late again! We went and had dinner at a members house and it was a party! We bought this minions sparkling cider to share! Little did we know it was actually nasty lol. Luckily we had Coke as a backup In literally all of our conferences and meetings this week we talked about the importance of setting goals and making plans to accomplish them...
