Week 14- November 4

Ok this week we have run all over the place for lessons, had lesson cancel, spent a lot of time walking around talking with people. In the center plaza there has been a festival of sorts its great to see but we don't have time to really look.  We met a prostitute, she hates doing what she does but she cant figures out any other way to support her family its so sad.  When we met her she was waiting for a client because her kids haven't eaten all day- that is why she was working. Its so sad, she doesn't live in our area, so we cant help her. Our investigators are learning slowly. Hopefully they will realize the importance of going to church.  Its getting hotter thank goodness.  We have AC but we have water trouble. I don't understand why the whole city has the same problem. But the lord will bless us, I know its all going to be fine.  We do have water it comes and goes but at least we have it.  Im grateful  for it. hope you all have a great week.

week 13- October 28

Wow ok, its my first real week in Mendoza.  We still don't have a ton of work yet but, we are building on it.  I love the area the people are so kind and loving.  we had lunch con members from Peru they make spicy food, wow i do miss a little bit of spice. In rice and beans it was so good. Our mission president was at church yesterday- we didn't think we would see him but he was there.  Our president is really amazing he loves everyone. my companion is better and so we worked as hard as we could. Its hard in the city because people are from everywhere and don't want to listen. But we will keep trying. With the Lords help and love he will help us in our trials. I know that everything in life happens for a reason even if i don't understand the reason. I feel blessed to have the gospel and the knowledge it has given me to know that there is a place for everyone to receive the gospel and that the children of god will be with him if they died at an early age.  This gospel is true and i know our families will be together forever one day.

week 12 -October 21

Hola me familia

so guess what, I had an emergency transfer, this last week. I love my last companion and area but me and my new companion Hna Tanner are opening a new area I'm in Mendoza Central.  I'm in a ward not a branch that's hardly a branch but it my mission presidents home we had 2 days of work and then we had zonda its a strong wind that makes people feel sick because its up high and lots of pressure on us anyway Han Tanner never experienced zonda before and felt really sick the members took us home and we went to church Sunday so we can get to know the ward and let the ward know that they have sister missionaries there but she started to feel really sick again so another member took us home and we have only just came out to do emails dont know how she now but we might not be able to do everything we to today but i pray she gets better soon, we have one new and progressing investigator we are to meet with him again this week. So we are excited to have someone its harder and bigger than our last areas because its almost all apartments if not there huge houses and don't want to listen so we really need the members help here I'm excited to work here the elders have had much success a baptism this last Saturday and another baptism this coming Saturday the members are amazing hopefully, we will get things down fast so we can find those we need It was mother day yesterday so happy mothers day everyone hope you have a great week hope i more to tell you next week
