Hna. Baker got a cd from her mom of some Disney songs and there's this song that has a bunch of colors and the guy singing...it's funny, it's called the Spectrum song....no se de donde es. It's ok! It's a fun song.
Anyway! This week was a bit harder emotionally but it turned out ok. On Tuesday we got a call that said I needed to go to Bahia (15 by bus) to renew my papers! I've been here almost a year! We get on the bus Wednesday morning and we get a call telling us we can't do it that day, and to come back tomorrow. We need to be in the office at 6:30 so getting up and there was an adventure. We get there, wait for a bit, I found Hna. Jenson! We get inside and show them our paper and they take my hand and start painting it black! After a bit I realized they were doing finger-printing, they took each one of my fingers and did it for me. I'm not sure what that all did but I may or may not be a citizen of Argentina now......Que suerte no?
Today we went to help the young woman learn parts to a hymnal, and here they always have some kind of food for random activities like that, so we ate some pizza, then went to an asaudo (Argentine barbecue), now! we're going to a FHE with more food! I'm blowing up! But not really, only slightly. And you wonder why I haven't been sending photos ;) No...actually, my camera that I brought is really old and doesn't accept the memory cards from my birthday, but Hna. Baker has a better one so I may use hers....but if you could send me one....in some stationary or something tricky like that....I would like it.....
:) He-ey! My world is good! Getting colder but with much more hope, we have A and F still but they were traveling so we'll need to wait to baptize them for a bit later, N slept so we will also need to figure that one out too, but they're all progressing! I'm pretty certain the change of weather does crazy things to me, I'm gonna be a mess when I get back! We got under 0 C that morning in Bahia! Our 4th was VERY uneventful, I thought about singing the national anthem, but I dont' think our neighbors would be too happy :S
Oh Grandpa! That's so great and so....sad? That's not quite the word, but he's so great! The Popes have a bunny!? When did this happen?
Joseph. Write me. That is all.
You're so smart to bring in guys to YW, it's really the best.
Pedicures! Yes, and frozen yogurt!
Blond!? ....ok I'll dig it.
The mission has taught me that goodbyes really never are forever, we will always see one another again, even if it's just not in this life. I'm so glad I chose to go on a mission, or I guess I should say, I'm so glad I listened and did what God told me to do. I love you and I'm so happy for your great week!
Jacob. Write me. You know you need to!
I love you Mom!

July 3
Good Idea: Cutting down on sugar and things to be healthy and lose weight
Yeah, we did do a lot better than normal though so I'm happy, I only baked once this week! That could also be attributed to that we feel better so we're leaving more frequently. But I caved and we bought ice cream on a particularly painful night. We compromised by saying that we'll cut back on sugar and not eliminate it completely...yet. There may be more of that kind of pain.....
So how are you!? I'm doing well, I'm not sick anymore and we're doing some good exercises in the mornings now that we don't feel like passing out when we get up in the morning. I'm steadily working my way through the new testament (minus the four Gospels), the Book of Mormon( from Helamen on) and PMG. I'm also getting better at writing in my journal! I'm proud of that. AND we had 3 investigators in the chapel yesterday! F, N and N (N brother), though we think that N may have other motives for coming to church, the branch president went to talk to him after and he left.....we're not sure. But N is doing really well, we just have to go teach her now and help her recognize her answer, she also needs to do her part more than anything, but she's coming to church and we're excited about her. F and his friend A came last week but this week A was sick and F came by himself! He was about to leave after the first hour and so I ran after him saying You're leaving!? And he stayed for another hour! :) We also had 5 less actives come too and we're super happy about that, all in all, church yesterday was great! This last week was good, we're getting a lot of references (really that's where a lot of sucess comes from), and we're working with the members a lot. I'm very happy in W, and VERY grateful I get another transfer with Hna Baker. I really want to have sucess here and I know we can do great things together. We taught N....basically half of the Plan of Salvation, Chastity, and The Gospel of Jesus Christ all in one sitting. She's really receptive and it was one of the greater lessons that I've had. I love teaching and feeling the Spirit teach through me! That may be one of the very best parts about the mission.
Kim does have a GREAT stage presence. Oh Jack! Stef! She still owes me chocolate cinnamon bears....GAH
Jacob is doing Stadium? Let me know with who and what he does and everything? Give grandpa a big hug for me
I love him and hope he-s doing ok. Ha ha ha, That cat.... That DC, I-M SO HAPPY ABOUT JOSEPH And KYLE Let me know what he says. I think you did great! You do have a tendency to shake things up :D We still haven't met our new presidente. I think it's because he's doing some in field training. But I'll let you know how it all goes.
I love you so much and thank you for your unwavering support and love, I-m SO lucky.

June 25
I wasn't horribly worried I'd be moved after only one transfer here but I am happy to announce that I am still with Hna Baker!!! Yay! We have a lot of work to do here in W and I'm excited to start doing it! I also completed 13 months on the mission today!
Wow, it was just yesterday that I was walking around Puerto with Hna. Clark, but now she's at home and I have 4 short transfers left! It scared me a little how fast time goes. Also I'm not sure I'll end my mission in W anymore, I could have another area, I could have another comp for 2 more transfers and then I'll have one more with whoever.....ok done thinking about that!
This week went by really really fast and I'm hoping I'll be able to savor the time a bit more this next week. I did take out another 350 pesos (I don't know the conversion anymore to dollars).
OH! Sabe que! I got the Easter candy! We finished off Jacob's bag of runts and lemon heads the after two days and then decided we'd pace ourselves as far as the chocolate went, then proceeded to dive into the cadbury eggs. We now have goals to be healthier, so we're REALLY pacing ourselves. Oh, yes, I am a bit head-coldie, but it's been so long that we've not really been working at the fault of no one (it's what had to happen, we've been told), and I want to not be sick! This means, says Hna. Baker, that I have to go to bed with drugs in my system.....yeah... I'm here with my sugar-free cough drops feelin' tired but wanting to go to find people and teach!
A missionary suffers when they don't teach and I don't want to suffer. This week we were trying to get a boy baptized, but he said no at the last minute, so the elders wanted to come and talk to him, we felt bien incomodo. By the end he still said no but it was good to see Elder Howard before he left. He is right up there with Elder Thomas for my favorite district leader! He was great, we all kinda cried when he left. BUT all the Hna.s are still here and the only elder that changed was to replace Elder Howard. We're ready for another 6 weeks, another 7 days and another 24 hours.
It sounds like Girls camp was great! And you got to have a great bed too! I first read about the "house fires burning" and I thought, Oh no! Laura lit the house on fire! Nope....I need to have more trust in her I think. Ah, how is everything in Lehi? And HOW many minutes are in a year? ;) Kim's gone until the end of this transfer! Weird how that worked out. I always LOVED going outside for lessons, it is more distracting but fun too. This next week sounds great! I'd be excited to go see a battleship! So I'm sure he's there with more, or even more excited because of his personal connection.
I think about Joseph a lot. I'm so proud of the progress that he's making and I'm going to write him soon. I know physical letters are better in general so that'll come soon. And you're so right! God will prove his promises, He always has, sometimes not in the way we expect but always he is in control (DyC 101:16). I think it's sometimes easy to forget because Satan is working really hard to down play it, or distract us, I think also of the talk by Pres. Erying this last conference, Mountains to Climb, or the other about how the dad and his kids were climbing the mountain and finally got to the top and saw how far they've come. I love that talk. A lot of my testimony is on the power of the Priesthood.
I honor the priesthood more now than in any other time in my life. I love this gospel and know that it is the only cure for the ills of the world. We all have trials and things that are hard, but if it wasn't hard, we'd never be shaped. I love you mom and thank you so much for your strength and testimony through everything that's been happening! I admire you a lot. I am doing well, I am happy, a little sick but happy. I hope you can feel my love a much as I feel yours! Love you!
June 18!
Yeah, I kept trying to take pictures this week but my camera gives me only enough power to send and look at pictures, but I'm planning battery trips, it's hard because everything is closed from 1-5 and on P-day that's a lot of the time we have to buy things, but I'll see if I can get some tomorrow in Puerrydon.
How's my Mom? I'm doing well. This week we had the elders down to do another esfuerso since we're not doing so well. They found 5 new people! That was a very happy moment. We're teaching one as of now and still need to re-find the others but I'm not too worried, they're ready or they're not and we will do all we can to help them.
This week is the last week of the transfer and Hna Baker and I feel like she'll leave, I don't want her to leave but we're kind of preparing ourselves mentally should it happen. She's become a very dear friend to me and I hope all turns out well, bueno, we're on the mission, it's all in God's hands. We're doing another FHE this week and I'm really excited, these members are fantastic! They bring people and give us references and go with us to lessons! It's Paradise!
I'm a lot tireder than I've been in a while but I think that's because it's getting colder. We're wearing our coats regularly now and I'm just waiting for the depths of July to hit. Weird huh? Depths of cold in July! It still weirds me out a bit.
Oh! Random thought, I'll be here to shop a bit for Christmas, so if there's something that someone wants or needs I can get it Argentine! So if you want to send ideas you are more than welcome!
I'm totally down with going with you guys there or where ever next year! I'm glad it was such a spiritual experience! Those are the best! You don't forget those very easily, 1) it's spiritual, 2) It's tied to a place with a great story, 3) You're with family!
I WANT TO MEET AARON!!!!!!!
I have so much respect for visitors center missionaries and I'm glad that gal was so cute! I love feeling connected to all the missionaries in the world, it's like we're all one body and all the things others do well attributes to the whole body. We are, I suppose, the body of Christ.
Girl's camp!!!! Woot woot! It'll be a blast! Weid, July is just around the corner, I got to Argentina in the end of July last year! I'm freaking out with how fast it all goes! That trip sounds so great! I wanna go! Take pictures por favor!
As far as me, I'm good, sleepy and full of brownies but good :) I'm a bit on the heavy side of things but other than that I'm not ill. I haven't coughed since the first week here so yeah, I'm feeling fine :D I'm so happy to hear that all is well!
I'll let you know next week about transfers, I found out today I only have 4 left! I'm freaking out! Love you lots!

Yeah, and no I forgot to take a photo........we did it today....it's about to my shoulders again! But I'll save more shampoo so I'm happy ;)
This week was really good! We had an FhE with one of the familias in the branch and there were two new people to teach and I was super happy, we watched the really old version of the first vision and they said they liked it so I'm happy! There's a man here who always gives us references and his name is C. We were hoping to bring these kids(new people) to a baptism of the other Hnas but they never got there. We got a call from C the next day saying that there are a few problems in the family, but we encouraged him to keep working with these kids because they're so great. He seemed to feel better about that. It's interesting when members get a little taste of the mission work and some of how hard it is at times. C said he's tell us when there's a change and we said we'd work with the members to help these kids. Their parents don't want us personally to pass by so we're going around the rugged rock. Other than that we went on splits a few times so Hna. Baker could rest and we could still work. That was pretty fun, more members getting involved in missionary work! I was happy but it's amazing how much you want to be with YOUR companion. I found out on the mission that I am kind of a jealous person, I like having my companion and others have theirs, so if someone takes my companion......I get irritated.
I'm also rather protective over the people I love.
Fun things to learn out here!
We just got back from getting haircuts and eating icecream....oy, I need to stop that or you all won't recognize me when I get home because I'm so gorda! But yeah, this transfer is ending way too fast! No quiero! Pero que va hacer?
How are the boys? tired? I remember that well :) OOOOooohh, can you send me a picture of the cake? I'm sure she did amazing because that's just how she is! She's been working super hard this last weekend! What a trooper!
Ah! Jack is so sweet! I kind of feel like that too, that he won't remember me and he'll run FROM me, but whatever, he'll learn I'm cool like that :) The dress looks SO good! I'm happy it turned out so well. And how great was that wedding!
I'm so happy it was really good for everyone involved, you wrote about the weather and I thought of the wedding video of yours that has Grandpa dripping wet after coming in out of the rain.
Nauvoo! Maybe I can get in the pageant. OH! Random string, I'll get what are called "trunky papers" soon and I think they want to know the stake and president and email and stuff like that, I may need that info soon.
Jacob needs to keep the girls off until I get home so that I can keep the girls off of him. I'm glad he got the reeses bug :D
I'm glad to hear all is well and I'll try my best to take some pictures this week!
I love you so much Mom! Oh! and a few people from here in White looked you up on Facebook, just so you know. AND, Hna. Baker says that her mom does know how to use facebook all too much, so if she doesn't talk too much, that's why.
June 4
Hey! Yeah, the people in W are pretty amazing, we were in the apartment for a lot of this week because Hna. Baker is really weak and can't walk too far for too long. The members brought us food, checked up on us, we have our Elders that are being so good to us and I feel incredibly blessed to be here right now. I LOVE Hna. Baker, she is so so great. I'm not sure if I told you but Hna. Orten and Hna. Carson are in our district again! I'm very happy about how that's working, and our district leader Elder Howard is a good older brother to us. We're being very well taken care of.
This next week I'm going to starting going on splits with the relief society so we can visit more people. I'm excited but terrified too, but I know that this is what is supposed to be happening, it all worked out sooo well when we were putting it together. So that's our plan for this week, I didn't take any new pictures because I don't have a battery recharger yet, but I hope to take care of that soon. We are still working with the part-member family, and two boys from different families, but both named B. This Wednesday we're to have our zone conference, aka President saying goodbye!!!!!!! It's so weird! We're not sure how much or what will change but change will probably happen. This is W right now.
I'm feeling much better, I'm using the inhaler the docter told me to get and I'm not feeling short of breath and I don't think I've coughed all week, so that's good. I am feeling rather fat because I have a lot of time to cook....so I cook.....a lot. Just so you know, I'm going to be a terror when I come home, I have a book of recipes I've gleaned and I may or may not just make all of them in the first week I'm home. Just a heads up. OH! I got Kellie's announcement! I still haven't gotten anything from Andrew and I'm skeptical on if he sent anything ;) Just kidding, mail is wierd out here. So yeah, I'm doing good, I'm happy that you're friends with my comp's mom!
If this is pregnancy...I'm not even sure what I'm expecting the baby to be. But yeah, it's gone SO fast. What's the last name of Spencer...of....Stephanie.....
(moms note, I told AJ having a missionary out is like pregnancy... it goes by slowly but in hind site its not so long)
Sweetie does her job well :) And I'm glad you got to hang out with Kim and Aaron. and that the house will be relatively full in a little bit. Jacob is such a capo! Good kid. I'm really glad that you and Joseph had a good church too. He'll be a good companion/missionary/cada otro cosa. Tester night! maybe some costco samples in the morning?
It's getting colder yes, Oh! so this last week we went to district meeting to present our work but then were planning on going back to W after, but I got talking into working, so I took Hna Carson's coat and she took Hna Orten's coat and we worked, then we did divisions with them and I still didn't have a coat, so the good elder gave me his coat. We ended filling it with candy and notes to thank him and help him feel good.
He says that he wants to treat the sisters in the mission like his sisters in his family and I really like that. I still can't wrap my head around Devore-McNeal, but that's just because I'm not there.
All of the Book of Mormon is so amazing to me, there are so many great examples of love, success, courage, faith.....really everything in there. I love it! How's Blaine doing? He came to my last talk and that's all I heard.
That's really all I can think of that happened this week, thank you so much for always emailing me. I don't think I could put into words the kind of security it gives me and the sense that I'm still loved! I love you so much Mom!
Love!

May 28
Year mark! How crazy is that!
We didn't do a whole lot for that day, except all of Argentina was celebrating their independance day, so we ate bread and locro, it's a soup they have here, apparently from the campo where they just put anything they had in a soup. .....it had intestines in it....I didn't kow this at first so I was just thinking, ok, I'll try it ad see how it is, I had difficulty swallowing, so did half of the youth. But it was fun to try!
This week we challenged one of our investigators, D, to ask his wife figure to marry him, he said yes! She said not yet! Gah! We about died! But at least they still have that goal in mind and so in September he can be baptized! He also came to church this last week! It was really beautiful. This may or may not be a very short email. Oh! I took out 150 pesos from my UCCU accout today, just so you know. I'll tell you if I take out more :) I do want to tell about a small spiritual expirience I had this week, I've been trying to see them more ad I feel like I can share this one. I was studying one morning and as I was thiking I got a bit overwhelmed, so I said a quick prayer and asked for help, I opened the Book of Mormon and it fell to Mormon 1, it didn't really have a whole lot to do with my situation but it was amazig the kind of peace I could find in really any part of this book.
Earthquake? We did't feel anythig out here ad we have't heard aything super public so I do't think anyone else felt it either. Being with only one other person.....I'll be honest I love being with Hna Baker! I don't feel at a loss of companion, nor of excitement. AND YES!!!! She went to the same single's ward in Highland that Kim and I went to! She taught RS every 4th Suday! I really want to remember if we met! Also, do we have any "Wold"s or "Minert"s in our Highland ward, area? We had good talks about how she worked at that Home depot and went to Roxberry a lot and how I was always there and how we basically lived closely. It was funny. My cough is better, the inhaler works and I'm also on an antibiotic for a bit. But Hna. Baker really loves her grandparents and her parents, so you should be friends so the love can grow :D
I'm so happy to hear about Joseph! I think about him a lot. Crazy June! NNNNNNOOOOOOO Stephanie! Ah well, it's better this way :) Another one bites the dust!
I'm so proud of grandpa and grandma! They are troopers ad I'm really happy the family is so great too!
Blessing dress! Woot! Talented mom! That's what I have!
It's so good that you focused your lesson on love ad not...threat......if that makes sense, it sounds better in my head....in Spanish.....yes.
Well I found batteries that worked so I took fotos! some of the apartment, others of the branch, I hope they're acceptable!
I love you mom, so much! Good luck getting into June and I'll see you there!

We didn't do a whole lot for that day, except all of Argentina was celebrating their independance day, so we ate bread and locro, it's a soup they have here, apparently from the campo where they just put anything they had in a soup. .....it had intestines in it....I didn't kow this at first so I was just thinking, ok, I'll try it ad see how it is, I had difficulty swallowing, so did half of the youth. But it was fun to try!
This week we challenged one of our investigators, D, to ask his wife figure to marry him, he said yes! She said not yet! Gah! We about died! But at least they still have that goal in mind and so in September he can be baptized! He also came to church this last week! It was really beautiful. This may or may not be a very short email. Oh! I took out 150 pesos from my UCCU accout today, just so you know. I'll tell you if I take out more :) I do want to tell about a small spiritual expirience I had this week, I've been trying to see them more ad I feel like I can share this one. I was studying one morning and as I was thiking I got a bit overwhelmed, so I said a quick prayer and asked for help, I opened the Book of Mormon and it fell to Mormon 1, it didn't really have a whole lot to do with my situation but it was amazig the kind of peace I could find in really any part of this book.
Earthquake? We did't feel anythig out here ad we have't heard aything super public so I do't think anyone else felt it either. Being with only one other person.....I'll be honest I love being with Hna Baker! I don't feel at a loss of companion, nor of excitement. AND YES!!!! She went to the same single's ward in Highland that Kim and I went to! She taught RS every 4th Suday! I really want to remember if we met! Also, do we have any "Wold"s or "Minert"s in our Highland ward, area? We had good talks about how she worked at that Home depot and went to Roxberry a lot and how I was always there and how we basically lived closely. It was funny. My cough is better, the inhaler works and I'm also on an antibiotic for a bit. But Hna. Baker really loves her grandparents and her parents, so you should be friends so the love can grow :D
I'm so happy to hear about Joseph! I think about him a lot. Crazy June! NNNNNNOOOOOOO Stephanie! Ah well, it's better this way :) Another one bites the dust!
I'm so proud of grandpa and grandma! They are troopers ad I'm really happy the family is so great too!
Blessing dress! Woot! Talented mom! That's what I have!
It's so good that you focused your lesson on love ad not...threat......if that makes sense, it sounds better in my head....in Spanish.....yes.
Well I found batteries that worked so I took fotos! some of the apartment, others of the branch, I hope they're acceptable!
I love you mom, so much! Good luck getting into June and I'll see you there!
LOVE!
