| Lunch with our favorite abuelita Adela! She´s hilarious. |
Someone decided to turn on the hot and humid buttons at the same time this week. Don't worry, mom, I'm drinking lots of water and wearing lots of sunscreen. And I'm working on some sweet missionary tan lines. I'll send some pics at the end of summer when they're even better. ;) Also, there are HORDES of dragonflies here in the summer. Sometimes the sky is just full of them. Better dragonflies than grasshoppers or cockroaches! We found two cockroaches in our apartment this week. Yum!

| Noche de hogar with our conversos recién |
I've officially been in Argentina for over a month now! I'm basically Argentine. Nope, still a white girl from Idaho. But, it's cool. The people here think we're really interesting. People think we're from all over. We've been asked if we're from Germany, Ukraine, England, Russia, the US. They def know we're not Latin. ;) And everyone calls us "bonitas" and "hermosas" (pretty and beautiful). One guy asked us if we were from another planet, haha. Good one!

| So rich. Actually, this is only equal to about $100 |
I feel like it's really hard to describe what the mission is like. It's SO good but SO hard. You go through your week trying to do some good and for the most part you don't see a lot of results (at least we aren't right now). You hope your efforts are making a difference in someone's life. Every once in awhile you have some really great contacts or lessons and you are SO happy. It just makes your day. You spend your whole week getting your investigators pumped for church and then it's Sunday and none of them come and your heart just BREAKS for them because you know how much they need this in their lives. You KNOW how much the Gospel will bless them and give them exactly what they're searching for. It's hard, but it's good. It requires a lot of faith. And by a lot, I mean more faith than I've ever had to have before. Yeah, hard to describe. We just keep going forward trying to help people come to the Savior. We can't force them. We can only invite them and then do all we can to help them.
Love ya mi querida familia. Enjoy the snow for me!! And drink some hot chocolate! :)
Con amor,
