Laura's Baptism

Laura got baptized this week! I couldn't be there but I'm so happy for her.

Well it's beginning to look a ...... little bit ? Like Christmas? Hahaha in spite of the blistering heat these past few weeks and the lack of Michael Buble's Christmas CD Argentina finally put off the Scrooge and pulled out a little bit of Christmas Spirit this week. Here, everyone puts up there little trees and lights the 8th of December, so it makes me happy to see that. Also the weather decided to pull some tricks this week and I witnessed the craziest rain storm of my life I think! The Lord really blessed us because we seriously entered the pension and then it started to pour, with lightning bolts and thunder not far behind every couple seconds and SUPER close! Haha our electricity went out but not before we were able to warm up a couple leftover hamburgers so that was a blessing.

One of my lifelong dreams came true this week and I held a firefly in my very own hands! There are a ton here especially when it rains and it makes me so happy to be walking in the street and see them blinking everywhere. I caught one and he did not want to leave me. He stayed on my hand blinking the whole rest of the night haha until we arrived at the pension and Hna Diaz made me let him go cause she's got a thing with bugs. 

I can't even tell you how good I'm getting along with Hna Diaz haha. She is so stinking hilarious! We have so much fun together always. I can't wait till you all meet her through Skype. She knows good English so she's excited to talk to you. Oh yeah, and I am too :) Haha I just hope you don't all make fun of me cause I don't know how my English is gonna turn out.

This week we had our Zone Conference and we did a Christmas skit of the first Christmas, but we turned it into Argentina style. It turned out so stinking hilarious and everyone was laughing except President Thurgood haha.... but we asked him if he liked it afterwards and he said yes so thats good haha. After the conference a whole group of us missionaries were traveling in train, and we decided to sing Christmas hymns in the train! It was super cool because we actually got some good results. We would sing a couple hymns and then talk to everyone and give out cards and then do it all again. The people were very willing to listen. Everyone wanted me to sing my solo of Silent Night in English so I did haha and everyone clapped afterwards it was weird. But something I'll never forget! 

I went to Ezpeleta this week for intercambios and the Hermanas there live on the 11th floor of a creeekky old tower overlooking the entire city. It was so beautiful and i'll send a picture next week cause I forgot my camera! :) I had a good time getting to know Hna Villareal, her name is super funny cause it literally means "Real ghetto" in English. 

So this Saturday we had our very own Capilla Abierta here in Gutierrez! we focused the whole week in inviting everyone to come and then right when it started on Saturday the rain came pouring down! Thanks Satan! But it was still a great turnout and we ended up with 37 refferals so we've got some great work to do :) My favorite part of the night was when Hno Fernandez (whom you are all going to meet through Skype) bore his testimony in front of everyone. He has been less active for a while but is coming back now and they are such a great family. 



I love my ward. I love my area. Love my comp. Love my zone. Just when I think the mission can't get better it always does. And I really can't believe that I hit 6 months this week. I feel like I just left!
