I'm tellin ya squidward, you and your nose will definitely NOT fit in!

 

 
As you can tell from my dirty shoes we have been workin hard in the rain this week!
These Argentina skies never seem to make up their mind.
Once upon a time, these shoes were white.
Then Hermana Flake served a mission in Argentina.
There were no refunds. The end.
Well this week I got to have another exchange with my rubia Hna Ostler
 and that was so fun! I also found out that my own hije, Hermana Silva mi mexicana
 is going to take her place this transfer as my sister training leader!
I am so proud of her and that's going to be fun getting to do exchanges with her! 





My comp and I continue to have fun! This week she laughed at me
as I belted "Called to serve" in the street.

Photo-Bombing Elders - That's what they do, and they never change!

THIS is my weird district - Hey! Elder Shill the tall gringo is Tanner Flake's friend!
 tell him he says hi.


We have floor planning parties



 
Happy Halloween! I almost forgot that it was....Here in Argentina they don't celebrate it much and there are a bunch of protests from the other churches that we shouldn't celebrate Halloween cause of the dead scary faces. But I never thought of it that way... I prefer to dress up and get free candy. As John Pinnette would put it "you knock on the door and they give ya candy! Its the best night of the year!" Even though we did find one neighborhood that was giving out candy and so that gave me so much joy to see a couple groups of zombies and minion children walking around! 

"I saw the first cactus!"

I want to tell you about how our Heavenly Father answers our fasts! We were fasting this weeked for health ( my comp has been coughin up a storm) and also to find new people to teach. When we showed up to church, Eugenia handed us a bag of cough medicine and soup and all kinds of stuff-- she simply said "I felt like I needed to bring you guys this!" I could hardly believe it! Then, looking around in Sacrament meeting, we spotted 2 new visitors that members had brought to church! One of them stayed for the whole time, we were able to meet them and we'll be setting up appointments to teach them this week. What a beautiful answer to our fasting and prayer! 

Hermana Thurgood gave me a recipe for banana bread cause I was just craving it oh so badly-- my first attempt turned out as black as our horse Haliegh hahahaha the recipe called for an hour and about a half hour in I was smelling smoke!! What can ya do-- I just cut off the sides and we ate the middle haha my 2nd attempt turned out magically delicious! 

Today I start my last transfer..... "The last........... MELON." 

I am consecrating my whole self to this beautiful work. I won't be able to do everything. But I can treat each day as the beautiful gift that it really is, and I can remember the reason why I am here. HASTA EL FIN 

Con amor, 

Hermana Flake
