Cheetah Pants

Fam!!!

Life is great!

We live 6 hours away from the mission home in Resistencia and had to go there twice this week. So we wake up at 2 am, get on the bus, have meetings and get home again at 10 pm. Longest days ever! That´s also why I couldn´t write yesterday :) Next week, I will be writing on Tuesday as well.

Anyway. How is everyone doing? How is the missionary work going in Provo, Utah?? If you are looking for something to do to help the work along, go out with the missionaries! We are always looking for members to come to lessons with us! Investigators need friends in the wards and friends that are members!! Maybe it´s different in Utah because everyone is basically a member, but it would be cool to hear about your experiences with that!

HA! So it´s always hit or miss if we will have hot water or not. This week though, we didn´t have ANY water at all!! We had the hottest day of my entire life. I was so sweaty and all I could think about was how much I wanted to shower. Sometimes God is super funny. Ya. Literally no water. So we went to bed thinking that in the morning the water would start working again. The water stops working every once and a while and we usually just have to wait a few minutes....  nothing. We traveled all day because we had to go down to Resistencia. Another super hot day. Got back at 10. STILL NO WATER. OK. Not funny anymore. You guys. I can´t even explain to you how bad I needed to shower. And how bad I wanted to. Anyway. We had to wake up early the next morning and walk to a member's house to shower and then come back. O man. Argentina. 

We have an investigator that will hopefully get baptized this Saturday!!! So cool, especially because she can´t read.  It´s kind of hard to have people read the Book of Mormon when they literally can´t. But I felt prompted during a lesson to promise her that if she tried to read a verse out loud everyday, she would learn how to read AND gain a testimony. No joke, the next lesson we were reading a scripture and she was reading right a long with us. MIRACLE. 

Also, I have this favorite investigator. I´m not sure if we are allowed to have favorites, but I totally do. Adela. She´s like 60 probably. She's a star. She asks the perfect questions, studies and reads and has spandex cheetah print pants. And the other day she gave us so much food from her little tienda. Nicest lady ever.

The people here. Amazing. People always said that the people here would literally give you the shirt off their back. SO TRUE. The nicest, most humble people. Always offering us water, always giving us food, always taking care of us when I know they are struggling themselves.

I´m trying to be more like this.

I love you all
