Wow, what a week. I just heard more in that letter than I ever expected to! Things are just crazy back at home. Don't worry though, all well go on for the better. It just might take some getting used to. The passing of grandma wasn't exactly the news everybody wants to here. I did tell President I had been expecting it, but you know me... I have the Holloran blotch. Ball baby!! I'm doing ok though, the phone calls was the worst of it because I knew exactly what it was when Hma Wallis said it was President. Luckily it was during personal study, so I got down on my knees and was amazed of the peace that came over me after that. She truly is in a better place, and she'll be with us every step of the way! Give my love to the family though(especially Grandpa). I hope all of you are doing alright. You're in my fasts and prayers!
Well, I thought that would be all the news this week... but boy was I wrong! Brandon and Whitney moving... wow I couldn't believe that one! I'm not going to lie... I wasn't too excited to hear that news. I know that they have to do what they need to do, and if that's what it is than we just have to make the best of it! I've been dreaming about watching the little sibling I've dreamt of having all my life! It's alright though, I'm sure between them coming here and us going there we will see each other lots! Mom you'll just have to steel the baby for a few months! ;) Haha or maybe Heather has something hiding from you?? ;) Haha
About the Visa, ya I don't really worry about whether or not I'll get it. I just wonder when?! All is well though... there are surely things I still need to be learning here if I am still here. The work is ALOT different. As far as baptisms, they're kind of slow here. As you can see. Kelcie and Cara both sent pictures and it looks so so fun! We're working though! Even if we aren't baptizing I guess our job is to plant the seed. I'm excited for Argentina to experience the different types of missionary work. I've heard great things! :) We went to a less actives house this week and they are both from Argentina. Oooo boy they got me SO excited!! It sounds amazing! After all the South mission is the safer of the Buenos Aires Missions. I don't know what I'm going to do when the world cup is on! People go crazy there!! They all watch it at school and everything! AWESOME! Ha and they were saying that the baptisms are crazy there! Like 20 a month! I've heard it has slowed down... but still. I'm super excited to see what it's like! :) I tried Mate and it's actually really good! I'd much rather be drinking that then a bunch of SODA! Ha but ya I am SOO excited!!!
SARA!!!! That was the BEST surprise in the WORLD!! I was literally like screaming in my mouth! Hahaha ahhh I knew she'd do it :) She is going to do AMAZING!!!! She's prepared SOOO much! She's been telling me all these things she's been doing and I was like Wow sure wish I had prepared that much! (That's one of my biggest regrets... I don't think i realized just how lazy or something rather I was before!) I could have done so much more with the 3 months I had!! Oh well :) That's why I came here! I would have learned what I have if it weren't for coming on the mission.
This week has been pretty good! Nothing much has changed. Digna and Luis both came to church with their daughters so that was a GRAND breakthrough! They have a date for the 19th of October, so keep them in your prayers! :)
Conference. Oooo the general relief society meeting was SO GOOD!!! Being on the mission it means even more, and I didn't even know that was possible! It was surely weird not being in Utah for that though! Did the girls all go together??... Did you do anything before or after? Seriously the spirit that was felt in that meeting was amazing. I think that's the best confirmation I've ever felt that President Thomas S. Monson is our living prophet today. He is the mouthpiece of the Lord, and you truly can feel that in every word he speaks. Ooo I'm so excited for conference!!!!! Hna de Leon is making lunch for the whole ZONE both days. She is so darling. She's also feeds our whole district and a few others every sunday. She's the member every missionary wants to work with!
Well, I hope all is going well for you all (As well as it can be considering the circumstances). Keep your heads up high. We are never alone! When you feel like you can't stand anymore, kneel. Love you so much and know that you are always in my prayers!!!
P.S. Somehow I got volunteered to play the Piano at a missionary fireside. That being said I feel super bad cuz you just barely sent a package... :/ But would you be able to send me the music for the EFY MEdley? As sisters in Zion one? I'm so sorry... let me know if that is possible. The thing is next week so it would have to be probably today that you sent it. If not I can just tell them I'm not going to be able to! Let me know in a dads weekly letter or something. LOVE YOU!!
