Love my Comp!

Hey everybody!

My companion is such an amazing guy just to start off! He's had a very rough past and has gotten into a bit of trouble but is a convert of a little less than 2 years or so and he has an amazing conversion. I'm soo glad President put me with him- he's been helping a lot to end my mission good which I've been really grateful for. I had been praying that I would receive a good companion to help me work hard 'till the very end and still have fun and enjoy these last few weeks of my mission and I feel like that prayer has been answered. So far out of ALL of my comps he has been the ONLY one to wake up with me consistently at 6:00am and workout with me haha! He's awesome!

This week we've been searching still for more and we had Loyeda from Bolivia come to church again with her baby! She's only 14 years old but she came again!  Even after the incident last sunday where a blood vessel or something popped in her baby's eye and everyone including her was kinda freaking out and we tried to calm her down and the other people.

Also we got to talk with a really cool family that are family members of members of the church. They loved the discussion. This man( Mauricio) has made me 2 "mate" (mah-tay) cups which were wayy cool! One is of cuero and I don't remember how to say that in English to be honest ahaha and the other has the flag of the US and Argentina with it saying "Mission Argentina Mendoza 2014-2016" which was pretty cool. But we had a good talk and we invited them to start praying together as a family and we really hope that they do it.  They're an awesome family!!

Anyway those are some things from this week I love you all soooo much!! Sorry I don't have much time :) Have an amazing week!!

Mother's Day in Valle de Uco



Hey everybody!!

Well first off to start Happy Mother's Day to all of those amazing mothers out there! You help us all soo much and like the mothers of the stripling warriors, you have taught us how to be strong in the faith and look unto Christ in ALL things. So thank you!:)

It was awesome being able to talk to you guys yesterday. I'm just having a hard time thinking its my last time that I'll get to do it. Am I really that old in the mission? Haha but no it made me more excited to see you guys but I'm really trying to start doing even better than I've been doing so I can finish with the gas tank on E ya know? I want to give every last ounce of effort I have so I can go back feeling good about myself without regrets. I just pray the Lord will continue to help me do just that these last 6 weeks.

This last week was a good one and we found a couple new people but one was an old couple that really liked what we had to say! They had some trouble paying attention to us though at times during the lesson but the hermana at the end did a closing prayer with the help of Elder Christensen so that was cool!

Also my companion Elder Christensen is leaving me to go to San Juan and I'm getting Elder Martinez who is from Chile! He'll be my first and last chileno comp because he'll be "killing me" this transfer haha. I really hope that we can work together good so I can finish the best I can running to the finish line. I'm always so grateful for the emails of you guys that help me endure and become a better missionary and person everyday here in Argentina. I love you all soo much for that!

I hope you all have an amazing week and can think of how Sister Levi told me recently, how to live covenant lives, not just convenient lives. Really good advice:) Much love!! Ciao!!
