It's beginning to look a lot like.... BAPTISM!

What a week! It's been so crazy haha where do I start? Eugenia got baptized! Thats where I start! It was such a beautiful baptism. The entire ward came to support her! She had to be dipped 3 times cause that stinking elbow of hers didnt want to be cleansed from sin apparently but the 3rd one's a charm and the work is done!
She is so stinking happy, even without the support of her parents. She told me yesterday that when she raises her own family, she wants to raise it like they did my parents. That made me cry a little haha thank you so much for your example mom and dad! You are examples for people across the world!
 
 We've also gotten Eugenia started on her family history. We all go together to do it on Tuesdays. I can feel the spirit of Elijah running through my veins! 
 
 Okay the CAPITAL TOUR was so much fun! And it didnt even make me trunky! Haha everyone else in my group is going home today so I was giving them all the hardest time, bragging about my extra time left that they DONT have haha I hope karma doesn't hit me too hard in December. They tried to torment me by singing Christmas carols but every time they did that I just started talking about BAPTISM. haha We visited tons of historical places. I loved el Teatro de Colón, it reminded me of Phantom of the Opera. 
The famous caminita de Boca! I love all the colored houses! 
 

MISSION TOUR SELFIE--- OLD SHOES 


In this pic all the other missionaries are "DYING" in the cementary and I'm just laughing at them cause I GOT THREE MONTHS LEFT! Livin it up ! Chau suckas! 

Haha and this is the grave of the famous Eva Peron de Argentina. 
Giant famous flower thing in Palermo! 

The next day we went to the temple- it was so good to go INSIDE this time! I had such a great experience! I love the Buenos Aires Temple! 
 
There was a part after the temple where we had to sit and wait for interviews so they had us watch a couple movies haha and we put in The Best Two Years- I apreciate that movie so much more now that I understand all the mission jazz haha. Then the Elderes put in The Other Side of Heaven, and Hna Thurgood just happened to walk by at the part when they kiss and she just shaked her head and said "You really shouldn't be watching this Elders " hahaha it was funny! I forgot that part was in there...
  
My comp made me a cake! Happy 15 months! 
 
 
Well my compa Hna Muñoz is being transferred. I am going to miss her hugs and her spanish treats. I am going to stay here in Zion land and train again! I am so happy. I get to meet mi segunda hijita tomorrow. And for today I get to stay with Hna Cóncenes, MI PERUANA!!! What a dream! The mission is good. I am enjoying every moment. Thanks for supporting me in the best decision of my life! I love you all!
 


Saying goodbye to one good companion.........  
......getting to see another great old companion,
and about to recieve a brand new companion. BLESSED.

 
 Here's more pictures of the Beautiful Buenos Aires Temple:






 

I wanna be like You ou ou.... I wanna walk like you, talk like you too oo oo





The miracles continue! Sometimes I feel like the Lord is too merciful. This week we have been focusing on getting Eugenia ready for her baptism and looking for new investigators. I know I have already talked a ton about Eugenia but I just feel like she is such a angel! haha She's literally the perfect investigator!
I am just soaking up every teaching lesson with her because she just seems to get it all. I think we learn more from her than she learns from us! She has read "Gospel Principles" cover to cover ........ I admire her testimony and her strive to live the gospel. This week we had a lesson with her at the temple and it was so beautiful!
 

WE LOVE EUGENIA!!!!! When she saw the temple fountain she asked "Can I just be baptized right here and right now? " 
Other favorite moments: A less active familia that we are visiting came to church this week! 
 
 
 
 
 A cute little Argentine girl saw us in the street and said "You are the Jesus girls right? We always love you so much! " 
 
We found a new familiy to teach yesterday and are excited to keep finding more!



Hey mommy look what I found!!! Giraffes just like yours!!! 

 

This is Hna Echegaray cooking in the kitchen... what she doesnt know is that the cat is sneakin . .. YOU SNEAKY MOM! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HNA GALVÁN!!! 
A missionary couple gave us peanut butter and oreos this week!
 I almost passed out it has been so long!

I Wish I Had a Nose!


 


What a great successful week it has been! I feel overly blessed and almost can`t recieve all these miracles at once! The Lord is so good and let me tell ya His gospel is so good too! 

One of those miracles that I can't wait to tell ya about is Eugenia, a golden investigator that fell from the heavens right into our arms haha. Eugenia is 25 years old ............. This Friday she went to the temple looking to buy church materials and asked the desk lady how she could meet up with the missionaries so that she could be baptized. . . VAMOS!!!!!! She's a golden! We met up with her the very next day, and she came to church with us the very other next day. She loves the gospel, she understands all of the doctrine, and wants to be baptized the 19th of September. The most beautiful part of it all is how we both feel like we've been friends forever. I have no doubt that we knew eachother in the pre-existence. We laugh about everything and we are just enjoying the gospel! The members already love her and now we are just excited to keep teaching her! She's a beaut, a crackup, and just pure gold. I love her so much already! 

This is Eugenia and us at church! Everyone thought she was another missionary! 

I testify of the power of the fast! We fasted to find prepared souls and we couldn't have found a more prepared one. Even though we didn't even find her, SHE FOUND US.
Walkin home from church with Familia Galván :) 

 
 
Let me also tell ya that none of these miracles would be happening if it wasn't for the members. They are amazing! Our Mission Correlation team reminds me of the Avengers! We are incredible when we work together haha! 

Another miracle: So remember how I lost my identity (nametag) last week? Well this week I also lost my planner. . . .THE END! haha just kidding there's more! While looking for my planner in the streets, Hna Muñoz my faithful comp tells me "You're never going to find your planner" and I say "Sure I am, because I prayed with faith that I am going to find it" and she says "Yeah right, you said the exact same thing about your nametag and we never found it." And I say "Hey, I KNOW that someday I'm going to find my nametag cause I prayed with faith!" haha and seriouly 10 seconds later my companion looks at the ground and sees my glorious shiny nametag lying there in the grass in a spot where we had already looked dozens of times! I was so happy! And my comp was so surprised! Haha she says next time she's not going to doubt. The Lord is so good! He always listens to our prayers! 
INTERCAMBIOS!
