Hi all!!
Life is great as always here!!
So we started out this week with absolutely no water for two
days!.. Yeah... horrible… Woohoo! But no worries, we got through it and we've
got the church super near to get water and families in the branch helped us out
too! Then we got rain, so water in both ways! It's Hot hot hot here! But I feel
at home. I absolutely love living here. The branch has become my family and I
can't imagine ever leaving!
We just got back from a wedding of two investigators of the
other Hermana's and they are getting baptized this weekend! No one is married
here, all just living together... so that makes it another lesson to teach
about the importance of marriage by law and then eternity!
We celebrated Hermana Figueroa's birthday pretty much every day
this week and we have enough cake in the fridge to feed the whole town. Oh and
I'm a huge fan of the Argentine tradition of smacking the face of the birthday
girl in the cake... three times and I'm still not sick of it!
We are getting along really well. We definitely have our
differences and times of disagreements but for the most part we are getting
along! She's been training me a little more and we've been on fire with our
daily work.
We are planning for baptisms soon so keep us in your prayers!!
Marianella, Fanny, Gabi and Alexis and Valentina! Pinamar is prepared!
I got to do exchanges with another Hermana from Utah and we had
fun speaking in English together but saying the prayer at night in English was
almost impossible! So weird! She hadn't tasted Argentine ice cream yet so... We
reached all of our goals for the day and I introduced her to the
goodness.
We taught a crazy girl the other day... scariest day of my life
but.. she now knows she's a Child of God!
Staying strong, smiling through the trials and loving it here!
Love you all so much! My computer worked at the speed of a snail
today so better letter next week!! :) Have a good one!
Chao!!
Love,
Hermana Barrett
