Hermana Milne’s Mission in Cordoba, Argentina

I think I've got more pictures from this past week than the rest of this transfer combined. So if you can make it to the end of this email I'll be highly impressed!  Last Monday we had an hermana p-day! All of the hermanas met up in Córdoba to play some games, hang out, and have a little conference after! It was seriously so fun! Me and Hna Gerstner seriously took the whole mother daughter thing seriously and showed up in quite literally the exact same outfit, I still have no clue how that happened Found out Carson is going to Mendoza!! Argentina doesn't know what the  Milne  fam's got coming  Ynes got baptised!! After a whole rollercoaster of emotions last week, on Tuesday Ynes decided she was ready! So we got to work planning everything and on Friday she got baptized! Her family came and none of them are members so it was soo cool! Selena accepted a baptism date! A couple of weeks ago, an inactive member who we'd been trying to meet with just showed up at chur...

Wow time is seriously flying by, it feels like this transfer started yesterday and yet somehow we're already in the last full week  Also, sorry in advance, we quite literally took zero photos this week. so if you're expecting something crazy awesome, you're gonna have to wait till next time Some quick highlights: The tales of the weird men continue, but luckily we had less of them trying to kiss us, and we've mapped out a pretty solid path to avoid the worst ones ! Fiamma is the cutest ever and did the homework we gave her! We asked her how she feels when she reads the Book of Mormon, and she said that she knows it's true! We've been teaching this family who has seriously been going through it, money problems, marriage issues, and sick family members, they seriously can't catch a break. On Saturday we get a message from the wife, telling us that they had a fight the night before and that the husband left and went to a plaza, where he slept and that we needed...

Holaaa!  This week was a serious rollercoaster started off real strong, took a sleep slope up, and a sleep slope down, and ended it off with a bang! On Wednesday we found out that our friend Ynes wasn't leaving to go back to Santiago del Estero until next week, which meant she could get baptized on Sunday! So we literally prepped everything, visited her twice a day to finish teaching everything, made 50 cookies and banana bread, and sent a million texts. Then Saturday night at 10, we get a text from her son saying that they're going to Córdoba and she can't get baptized. It was so sad because she was soo excited to get baptized and we just have no idea if she's ever coming back… so now we're just stuck having to eat 50 cookies, which is a whole other issue but ya fue BUT on the bright side, the chapel this Sunday was actually soo full! It was crazy! When I first got here, only the very back rows were filled, with the entire front totally empty, and every week it...

Holaaa!  This week was literally a party! Unfortunately I have no time to write so this week you just get a quick summary with pictures! lucky you! We went to visit Fiamma and asked her what she had been doing all day, and she told us she painted a heart with bautismo and a “paloma celestial”. We thought she meant she painted it on a piece of paper and asked to see it! We were a little confused when she told us to come into her room, and even more surprised to see her entire wall covered in her baptism heart. needless to say, she's very happy to be baptized  We went to Córdoba for zone conference (which was fuego )  After the conference we went to record a music video for the mission facebook!  After a few hours of being outside in the boiling hot sun, President and Hna Zanni took us out to get ice-cream!  Our sink hates hna Grimshaw and exploded while she was trying to do the dishes  so now if she needs to use the water, I turn it on and off for her Accide...

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 ...
