Oran


WOW. I love missionary work so much. We have had a few changes lately so let me tell y’all a little about my life....

·       Had to leave Manantial 2 :( really learned to love those people real quick but I know that God will take good care of them!!!! 
·       I am now here in Oran (back to Saltaaaaa:)) with HERMANA DALDEGAN - MY FIRST COMPANION THAT IS NOT FROM THE USA and she is the best. here are a few things I love about her
1. Her hair is so curly and so beautiful
2. She is your classic missionary that says hi to everyone in the streets and cheers on the kids playing soccer and plays with all the dogs
3. She teaches according to the spirit 
4. She loves chocolate milk like me
5. She’s not even trunky. She is in her last transfer but works like it’s her first! We are gonna see lots of miracles here!!!
·       I am here in ORAN and it is the best! It is a small branch of about 50 members that come every week but the support is incredible. The youth are so willing to help organize and clean and do whatever is good for them. Two of the youth this week received their mission calls!!!! I just feel so blessed and so happy to be in the work of the Lord and WE LIVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH - TM

That’s about all the changes! 

And sorry. My brain is a hot mess with all the changes this week so here is a mixture of milagros and chistosos of the week: 
·       We went to Salta for a meeting for all the leaders. Let me tell y’all. THE CHURCH IS TRUE because God sent Presidente Orquera here to guide the work and he is doing a great job! He is led by the spirit and wants the best for all the missionaries and members. Also I got to see my BFF Juampi (the son of Presidente Orquera) and some other great missionaries that I have come to love 
·       LOL so we have family home evening in the branch with all the ward every Sunday night - super fun! And last night we were taking a picture and Hermana Daldegan said she was gonna take it with flash and Matias says "will she be in the picture" THAT WAS AN INSULT BECAUSE I AM JUST SO WHITE. 
·       Today we played soccer and LATINOS TOLD ME THAT I PLAYED REALLY WELL. Yeah so watch out BYU women’s soccer. I’m coming for ya

Sorry this letter is kinda a hot mess but just know that I am HAPPY AND HEALTHY. 

Love you all! 

Come what may and love it

Let's talk about love


HOLA! 

Please pray for us! We have transfers next week and we have no idea what is gonna happen. Also I am gonna try to eat 1 fruit and veggie every day. At least 

OH AND WE HAVE ELECTRICITY WOOOHOOOOO

Anyways....
CHISTOSOS: 
·       when a lady in church asks if she can bring mate and everyone is like ummmm duhhhhhhhhhh yeah you can
·       and when another lady says that she can sweep with one hand and drink mate with the other THESE PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED but i love it 
·       Lujan in her prayer.....thanks for my mom because she is skinny and pretty
·       6 little boys fighting over a chicken on a leash. that my friends was a sight to see
·       Just when we thought things couldn’t get worse. WE LOST POWER IN THE INTERNET CAFE so yeah...we don’t have much luck with the power

MILAGROS
·       I don’t think I have told y’all about the house of prayer that they are making here in my area. Bueno, so my area is like 20 minutes (in bus) away from the chapel and lots of people can’t come to church because it is really expensive so they are building a small house to take the sacrament there and I am so excited! Hermana Williams and I did service there this week and we got to clean the roof! It’s a beautiful thing because these people just want to remember the promises they made with God and are making great sacrifices to do it! Makes my heart happy :)))
·       WE SAW A MIRACLE WITH JULIA AND FRANCO! So the other day we got a message from them saying that they didn’t want anything to do with us but then we visited them anyways and God was totally preparing them and now they are back on track for their wedding and baptism. Keep them in your prayers! 
·       After a rough Sunday, and I was a little discouraged, and it was dark and rainy, WE FOUND SOFIA and she is a beautiful daughter of god. She was so happy to see us and welcome us into her home! she is a new girl that we found and now is more free because she finished her classes and she has really great standards and she prayed and I just felt so blessed and really it was an answer to my prayers <3

Let’s talk about love...

Romans 8:37-39
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

ISNT THAT BEAUTIFUL???? It doesn’t matter what we do, God will always always always love us. Soooooooo no matter what happens in our lives we must always always always love HIM!!!!! So cool

Love you all! Thanks for everything!!! Have a super great week! Make good choices! 

COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT!
