CAPILLA ABIERTA DE LAS FLORES!
This week was literally one filled with miracles. I just want to declare here and now that the Lord is good, and that he answers our prayers. I had been praying and working good and hard for the Capilla Abierta here in Las Flores. I was the only one in this town with experience or who had an idea of how it needed to go so Elder Pina put me in charge of basically everything! I was a little worried that not a lot of people were gonna come but at the end I realized that it's not about how many it's about how we felt there inside the chapel. And let me tell you I have never felt so much love and unity there before. We worked our tails off in the morning inviting the entire town, 12 more missionaries came to help out and we all split up into different areas to sweep the town with invitations. It was such a cool feeling. Everything went so well. Quite a few of our investigators came and some people that we didnt expect either.

At the end of the event Elder Pina had me stand up in front of everyone and do the wave haha like he always asks me to do, but this time was more victorious than ever because of my love for this town. Even the pioneer who is like 80 plus years old did the wave with us. That's how much excitement we felt that night haha. I gave a talk the next day at church and expressed how grateful I was for the Lord's hand in the work. I declared that miracles exist every day in the Gospel, and that if we can´t see them, we should ask Heavenly Father in prayer to help us see them. The gospel should always be something marvelous to us and should never be something old. We can always learn something new every day.

| A man named Chino Pang showed up that we had invited earlier and he loved it! He couln´t understand everything very well but we all reached out in love and he could feel it. He told us that he has a Book of Mormon in Chinese that other missionaries gave him and that he has been reading it. |

| You may be wondering about all the snow pictures haha. Our district planned a surprise Christmas for the entire zone. I was in charge of stealing the church key like a ninja so that we could sneak in and decorate it without anyone knowing it was us. AND NO ONE FOUND OUT! That's what I call Secret Santa. #ChristmasinJune |

For my year mark we went to the Lake of Las Flores and saw the Carpinchos again haha I just love those little hippopotomases with fur! They are just like Wombats. Kip ate all the freakin chips so we made ourselves some dang quesadillas! and french fries to top it all off. Hermana Rojas and Hermana Ostler came for an exchange and so it was fun having them there and getting to see my old blondie again.
I feel so weird knowing that the time is flying so fast but I feel determined to make these last 6 months the very best of them all. I feel like one spends the first year at least learning how to be a missionary haha and then they're left with so little time to put it all in practice. 
These last 6 months I am going to consecrate myself in this work, literally lose myself in service. Forget about my own needs or desires and focus on those of the beautiful people of Argentina. They are 6 months that I'll never get back. For now, I feel too blessed to have lived one year in His service. Heavenly Father pays us blessings that are too great to even imagine when we put forth our extra effort and choose to live as the Savior does. I am especially grateful for how I have come to know and love Him. It is a priveledge beyond measure to be able to testify daily of my Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope to do it the rest of my life.
