SUPER DEMASIADO ULTRA MEGA ICE CREAM

Adventures and memories are what it’s all about unless you die or go to jail.

^^^^^uplifting advice from the mom of H. Rindy lol thx

HEY FRIENDS DO YALL WANNA HEAR ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING WEEKS OF MY LIFE????? idk how to organize all this goodness so here goes nothing...

·       I SAW HERMANA WILLIAMS and it was the sweetest reunion. We talked and hugged and laughed and made the most of our sleepover. Maybe tears were shed when we said "see you later" maybe not. But I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Also I got to meet her companion aka mi nieta and they are killing it in Jujuy. Not to mention, Jujuy is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I’ll be back for you Jujuy.

·       God is so good. He has given me a recap of my mission....like last week when we went to Limache and this week when we got to go to GUEMES! And we only had like 45 minutes so we made the most of it and went to my favorite ice cream shop. We all bought 1/4 kilo of ice cream and then an ice cream cone bc it just wasn’t enough. I almost died when the lady asked H. Rindy if she wanted chocolate syrup and she said "No, I’m on a diet!"

·       MISSION RULE #85 if you see a slide, always go down the slide. It just makes you 10x happier.

·       OKAY LISTEN TO THIS. So H. Rindy and I had this great idea to eat a whole liter of ice cream in one day. It’s from grido and it’s called a tentación. We thought it was gonna be really hard so we started at 7 am and gave ourselves all day to eat it. BUT WE FINISHED IT TOO QUICK. H. Rindy finished for breakfast and I finished for lunch. And we felt so dang fat. So we made plans to not eat anything the rest of the day. Fast forward a couple of hours and we were out working and had to use the bathroom.  So we pass by grido cuz their bathrooms are super good. While H. Rindy was in the bathroom, I was telling the lady how much ice cream we had eaten and she said “I GIVE YOU A FREE ICE CREAM CONE.”  She was so proud of us. So she gave us free ice cream, we took a selfie and we left with fat hearts and a huuuuuge smile.

·       P. Orquera "I would rather see you with helmets and no bikes then with bikes and no helmets"

·       When you walk up to the window of your investigadora and she is currently READING HER BOOK OF MORMON - milagro

·       When your investigadora has plans to be married and you haven’t even taught the law of chastity yet lol

·       Zoe (sister of tiara) shared the gospel with her little friend and it was so cute! She said that she invited her to church and she felt good in her heart after doing it! Makes me so happy!

·       Matias every time we see him – “whaddup girl”

·       GET THIS. So on Saturday we had the baptism of Tiara and Matias Aldana was supposed to come but we couldn’t get ahold of him all day bc he was working. H. Rindy and I were praying so that he didn’t have to work. One hour before the baptism, we still hadn’t heard from Matias but then out of nowhere, Matias segundo didn’t have to work and came to our baptism! God is so sneaky. He answered our prayers in a very unexpected way! Matias didn’t have to work!!!! The baptism was so beautiful and I just feel so so happy.

·       Marta - new person- says she isn’t gonna come to church bc she is lazy. Well....at least she’s honest.

·       ELDER DEL PAPA won a whole page in my smile book...some highlights

ü  Hay un bano in here che?

ü  Can I sit with vos? Gotta practice vos amiright?

ü  I’m gonna major in teaching the restoration in 4 minutes and walking all day

ü  Good luck with life.

ü  The sun is really mas brillante que el sol hoy

ü  Check out these letters. They are hecka dated.

ü  Let’s be like a baby and head out

ü  Shakespeare was written over 500 years ago, we can’t understand it and you can’t even pray about its truthfulness

ü  The calefón is not calefoning.

·       GRATITUD FAST!  I just have felt so blessed lately so we fasted for gratitude and let me tell you. My heart has never felt so full. I know that God lives and He loves us soooo much. Too much. He listens to us and wants the best for us!

·       We went to the border of Bolivia and it was sooooo cool! And we didn’t even get deported!!!!

Wowzer. I feel so blessed.

A special invitation from God to you ----- "Come unto me, and I will show unto you the greater things" (ether 4:13)

ITS TRUE MAN! God can show us so many greater things!

Come what may and love it

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK

·       Angel Cabana got his mission call for SANTOS BRAZIL. Shout out to my best friend who is heading to that same mission. They are gonna change the world together. Also I love Brazil and all the brasileros. 

·       DIA DE NINO which is basically Christmas here in Argentina and it was a party in church yesterday. Complete with balloons and cake and a ton of candies during sacrament meeting. It was really special. 

·       WE ARE HEADING TO JUJUY TODAY AND I GET TO SEE HERMANA WILLIAMS TODAY.  I am a little more than excited. 

·       MATIAS ALDANA IS OUR MISSION LEADER. He is legit my bff. I am so so so excited to work in the Lords vineyard together!!!!!

Chistosos:

·       Damian asked Presidente if he could direct sacrament meeting yesterday. He is 8 years old. Presidente said not today....but maybe in a few years lol

·       When a 20 year old young man walks into relief society yells BUEN DIA and is about to take a seat when he realizes that he is in the wrong class....runs out as fast as he can with a super red face lol

·       Naza showing us the latest project she did in school..."look what I made."  Her brother "No, mom made that and you just brought that to school" jajajaja sounds like my childhood too. I understand you Naza. 

Milagros:

·       When you show up to the primera cita with a new person and they are waiting for you with their Book of Mormon, two chairs and Phineas and Ferb. That was amazing. 

·       Tiara is getting ready for her baptism and greets us with a great big hug every time we see her!!!

·       One day, we did proselitismo for 9 hours in 90 degrees (AND ITS WINTER) but we did it anyways and saw sooooo many miracles. If you just show God that you want to work, He will help you. 

·       I got to go to Limache!!!!!! And let me tell yall...riding in the bus to Limache was the weirdest thing. I had so many butterflies in my stomach cuz I was so excited to see them and also super nervous that maybe that had forgotten about me but THEY RECIEVED ME SO GOOD. With lots of hugs and good memories. My heart feels so full. 

I have feel too blessed lately. Like straight spoiled. But Hermana Rindlisbacher helped me realize that the blessings aren’t just for me. That God wants to bless all his children. And that just got me so excited to try to help other people feel of God’s love. Then I found this:

“And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land;”

SO LETS BE OBEDIENTE!!!!!!!!!! cuz God is perfect and always keeps His promises. 

Prayer list

Naza, Tiara

LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Thanks for everything

HEY FAM THIS WAS BASICALLY THE BEST WEEK OF MY ENTIRE LIFE....and we are just gonna keep it going and have the best transfer of my mission!!!!!! 

But seriously. So many miracles and so many good times with Hermana Rindlisbacher. Plus the fact that no one can say her name makes it lots of fun. We just sing and laugh and talk (in Spanish of course) all day long and are super happy and enjoying EVERY moment that we got to be representantes de Jesucristo.

CHISTOSOS:

·       Throwback to last week’s Relief Society where all we talked about was what we should do with the garbage in the church. No one wants to take it to the trash can. bah

·       Talking with Lucas Gavilan (rm. 22 years) and his niece (9 years. not member) Lucas: "YOU HAVE TO GET BAPTIZED." Thanks for being super direct Lucas. We are now preparing her baptism

·       Mosquito bites = Satan tickling you....and H Rindlisbacher and I have plenty to prove it 

·       Our district leader: "How’s your unity?" Me: "on a scale of 1-10, we are a 9.5" Him "y’all are still on your honey moon. Give it a few weeks lol" jajajaja no! We are bffs already! 

·       matias es recto :)))))))

·       Happy Halloween! lol when Elder Campbell asks us to pls clean the baptismal font bc there are so many spider webs and it’s not even Halloween yet jajaja 

MILAGROS:

·       FIND THE ONE.  Shout out to my homie Mary Mary for helping me have a new perspective in finding Gods children. This week we tried to find one person that God had prepared. AND WE FOUND THEM. for example: Leo - we found him in the middle of nowhere and he called us elderes so we talked to him and turns out his bff is in the mission and he has gone to the church a couple times and wants to know more. Miracle.  Or Romina - literally was listening to us like it was the latest movie in the theaters or something! And she is from Limache <3333

·       Get this. Lucas and his niece (from above) is from the familia Gavilan aka Mateo Gavilan aka first baptism in Limache. And now we are teaching Tiara! And she came to church on Sunday and is really excited for her baptism!!!! Grandma Gavilan gave me a great big hug and said that I am really special since I am helping lots of her family

·       EMILIO SE BAUTIZO! It was sooooooooo awesome! We had lots of support from the rama and Emilio felt so clean. In his confirmation, they blessed with opportunities to use the priesthood and an eternal family in the temple. So happy. 

Prayer list:

Tiara, Rosario, Olga

thx

Wow. The church is true my friends. Prophets are real and they speak for God. Here are some inspiring words that really help me LOVE every day of my life....

“He paid for something that He had not done.  He paid for sins that He had     not committed.  Why? Pure love. Having paid the full price, He was in the         position to offer us the blessings of what He paid for if we would repent.        Why did He offer this?  Again, and always, pure love.”

I love my Savior Jesus Christ. 

Have a great week! Come what may and love it! 

con mucho mucho amor,

WHITE Christmas in July

Does that count? cuzzzz 

MATIAS AND ABI GOT MARRIED and it was probably the best thing in my whole entire mission. I have never felt so happy and so much love. It was so beautiful and the cherry on top of semana 5 for Hermana Kreutzkamp. jajaja see pics attached of the beautiful bride and groom

Wow. I am kinda a hot mess right now but this was our week:

CHISTOSOS:

·       My back starting hurting cuz my bag was so heavy so I try to adjust it when I realized that I had an entire pantry in my bag - peanuts, bread and an apple hahaha 

·       We were walking in the street and we saw a little boy put a dog in a trash can lol. That’s how I feel about dogs too dude.

MILAGROS:

·       Bautismo de Gabriel and Jazmin! which was almost a disaster bc Gabriel was sleeping when we went to his house for his interview but luckily ELDER MOELLER saved the day and used his super good soccer skills to get him all pumped. The smile on his face in the pics attached just explain how happy I was to see him be baptized 

·       When we saw the Familia Espindola in the plaza last night having their noche de hogar complete with family history and mate of course. Makes my heart so happy to see people coming unto Christ. 

hahahaha if you are feeling a little lazy, pls read this kind but super direct invitation from our Heavenly Father 

Alma 60:21 “Or do ye suppose that the Lord will still deliver us, while we sit upon our thrones and do not make use of the means which the Lord has provided us?”

This really helped me learn that I have to give my ALL to the Lord. Every last bit of energy, every smile, every testimony. He wants everything. And He doesn’t need lazy people working in His vineyard. 

LOVE YOU ALL. Like a lot. I miss y’all so much and am super excited to give y’all great big hugs. 

Come what may and love it 

Con mucho MUCHO amor,

Hermana Mannewitz
