Hello my wonderful
family!
It was so great to
hear that Thanksgiving went well! The Butternut Squash Pie I was experimenting
with was a success! I'm learning every day to make new stuff!
This week was super
long! Because it's summer now, everyone
is working super hard and going on vacations so we felt like we were just
riding our bikes forever to find NO ONE home! On the bright side, Eva's baptism
is this
Saturday! We want to make it super special and I could
not be more happy for her! We bought little caramels for her and put inspiring
messages on them for whenever she had a thought of smoking. She loved them and
honestly she is progressing so well. This gospel is saving lives and creating
eternal happiness.
The other day I was
just SUPER tired of Spanish. There are no Americans beside me in the area of
Pinamar anymore. We have a new Hermana from
Coasta Rica and I like to listen to her super fast Spanish but after a while
I'm like... alright.. CAN WE ALL JUST SPEAK ENGLISH?! I get so tired from
speaking and listening so intently... It's so draining but I know, I know...
it's worth it!
We spent the last two
Monday's in Villa Gesell (the Area of the Elders) One for an Asado and this Monday to shop for summer clothes but I didn't end up finding or buying
anything... The style here just confuses me... haha
My blow dryer blew up
the other day. That was fun!
By the way, remember that
loud, end of the world sound I mentioned in my last letter??... I heard that
means either a fire or Tsunami.. I guess we should figure that out. haha
I find myself learning
new life lessons every day like how to be on time, how to not care about my
hair and accepting that I have to wear that dang helmet. :( How to pretend like I understand what people
are saying haha (acting skills coming in handy) but mostly, how to really be a
missionary. When talking to my District Leader he said to not worry about the
language so much.. it will come eventually. I should just concentrate on being
a great missionary!
I'm looking forward to
this week. It's getting super busy with travelers but it's going to be a good
week! We're painting a house tomorrow! Now THAT I can do!
Love you all so much!
Have a great week!! :)

"Good timber does
not grow with ease,
The stronger wind, the
stronger trees,
The further sky, the
greater length,
The more the storm,
the more the strength,
By sun and cold, by
rain and snow
In trees and men good
timbers grow"
