Dear Family and Friends,
Oh how I love Argentina. Actually, this
morning I told the other sisters, "I´m done! I´m going home and being a
missionary in the states!"
Let me explain,
So our apartment has been without hot water for the past transfer
and without water in the kitchen for the last 3 weeks. That´s been a
pain because it all of a sudden started to rain and the water´s been
freezing. So our showers have become less and less frequent and our
apartment more and more smelly. All of that is fine. I can deal with
it. Hermana Ihler was quite upset about it, but she´s new to the
apartment and will get used to it as well. But this morning, due to the
flood from a couple of weeks ago we discovered a new problem. Orange
fungus. I´ve never seen it like this before. Last week I cleaned out
our food cupboards and I found it, but I thought it was a weird powdered
food Hermana Garbin ate. So I didn´t think much about it. But it grew
again and got on a lot of our food. We had to throw a lot away. But
I´m just so grossed out. Why! I guess it´s time to call Hermana
Giuliani to tell her about the flood, the hole int he wall, the no
water, and the fungus.
This week was awesome! Hermana Ihler is my new companion and she´s
from Pocatello, Idaho. She´s a nurse yes, but that´s because at BYUi
it only takes two years. So she´s going back and studying more. But
because she´s the nurse, we get to take the phone with us everywhere!
Missionary work´s going to be a lot easier. Other missions get ipads
and we don´t even get our phone on the streets.
So we had great lessons this week. I don´t have a lot of time but
first Alejandra. We were having a normal lesson and then she told us
she had something to tell us next time but tshe didn´t want to say it
right then. We continued and I felt impressed to say something to her.
The first time I felt impressed to say something that specific to
anyone. She started crying and told us that morning she heard a voice
say the same words to her. She said she knows it´s all true and she
wants to be baptized now, but she has to quit smoking first. It was
amazing!
Then we found a great new investigator. The contact from the other
sisters I talked about last week. He wants to feel forgiveness in his
life. His pareja is a less active and feels super guilty for living
with him without being married. Basically, they´re ready to get
married, repent and feel peace in their lives. He wants to be baptized
and is looking for another job so he can come to church and meet with us
more often. His name´s jonathan.
Also, this week we got hit on a lot. Hermana Ihler´s too pretty
for this place. A man on his bike stopped to talkt o us and said he
wants to be baptized so that we´ll start going to his house because
we´re pretty. Uh... well if he comes to church that will be a miracle
so until then, we´re safe.
And that was the week. I´m eating healthier because I´m scared the
nurse will tell on me. But she´s awesome and really doesn´t care.
Hermana Borup. Oh! And I saw pictures from the Narducci baptism this week! They are so cute!
