ITS A MONDAY (Olan Rodgers voice)

Here I am sitting in Argentina Cyber. There's 90's music playing in the background, I can hear buses passing. I smell burning weeds and there is an old dog sleeping at my feet.

I am so happy here. 

 

This week was one of the happiest I've had because it was filled with so many beautiful events. We woke up early thursday morning at like 5 30 to take the two hour bus road trip to arrive a short walking distance from the beautiful Buenos Aires Argentina temple. I have never been so excited to see one in all my life. I have been SO blessed all my life to have one so close to me! The Spirit's the same wherever you go around the world. The feeling's the same. I felt such an overwhelming love there that day and I am newly renovated to dedicate my whole being to this beautiful work. 

We decided to celebrate and do the whole temple- Mickey D's deal afterwards and our District had so much fun! We are all Yankees (northamericans) and so we enjoyed comparing the Mickey D's here to the states. It's basically the same, only they have 4 menu options, there was a hair in my mcdouble, there was a dead fly on my companions tray, her bacon wrap was baconless, and my mcflurry had cremeless oreos hahaha. No big deal! It was still really good! We were laughing so hard cause one of the Elders said "These mcnuggets are NOT the same, they taste super weird!" and I said "Thats because here they probably actually use chicken" haha. It was a good experience. 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday two of God's precious children entered into the waters of baptism and I was so happy to be able to be a part of it. Sebastian and Aylen got baptised just after church yesterday and everything was so beautiful. I loved seeing the entire Familia Gonzalez sitting together in the same row at church, taking the Sacrament. Their mother, Celeste, gave the opening prayer and cried in gratitud for her childrens decision to follow Christ. Hna Ostler and I sang "I like to look for rainbows" one of my favorites! There was such a strong spirit there from the very beginning.

 

 I felt so happy, they were so happy, and I knew most of all that our Father in Heaven was happy. He was rejoicing. I love Doctrine and Covenants 18 and totally felt the truth of it this week- How great shall be our joy with them in the Kingdom of our Father! After the baptism we all walked to their house and ate pizza and cake, and shared testimonies. It was just a happy day all in all. I've never felt so much love for a familia that wasn't my own. 

Okay we turned on the font water without having the keys to the other door so we had to Tarzan it over the water haha! BLONDES!

 

 

 

This Pday was so fun. We had a huge activity with football bball soccer volleyball, bobbing apples, flag football, water balloon fight, flour game and more soccer. It was super fun. Workin hard playin hard! 

 

 

Love you all so much. I know this is the Church of Jesus Christ. I know He lives. I know that more and more every day. 

Con amor,
