WHERE HAS ARGENTINA BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE!!!
But serioulsy...haha this place is absolutley beautiful!
I left on Monday morning and it was pretty rough. I wasn´t ready to go. I wanted to help our investigators more and just a whole mix of emotions. On the plane ride to Atlanta, I wanted to just go back to Kansas. But, holy cow, I KNOW this is where I am supposed to be. I am so grateful for the time I had in Missouri, but I am SO PUMPED to be serving here in Argentina.
Anywho, about the flight and life in general right now, things are great! I arrived in Atlanta and there was a billion of missionaries there! I was able to meet up with 2 Elders in my district from the CCM. SO GREAT! It was awesome. And then we began the flight. The dreaded 11 hour flight! haha I sat next to this guy from Ecuador who was traveling to Argentina for work. It was awesome to be able to talk to him and share more about the gospel. HIS SON HAS MESSI´S AUTOGRAPH!!!!!!!! I am still so jealous...haha we got two meals on the plane! Dinner and breakfast! and a pillow and a blanket. I felt so rich...haha.
But, I finally arrived and after going through immigration and cutsoms, I was able to reunite with everyone in my district! It was great!!!!!!! We then headed to the Mission Home.
It was about a 5 hour Bus ride to Rosario. Then we arrived at the mission home and ate a quick dinner and headed to bed.
We got up in the morning and studied and just kind of chilled. IT WAS AWESOME, but so weird at the same time. I haven´t just chilled for a while. But, I thought it was really nice that they let us take a breather after our travels. We had different trainings throughout the day and then a super fancy dinner at night. THE MISSION HOME IS GINOURMOUS!!! and so beautiful! It was fun! Then the next day we got up and headed to the chapel to meet our companions.
My companion is Hermana Telfer from Highland, UT. SHE IS AWESOME: I am so pumped to work hard and get stuff done! I am serving en 5 Esquinas which is in the City of Parana which is the capital of Entre Rios which is a Provincia here. It´s beautiful! PALM TREES. Seriously. this place is sooo great!
So, then we took the bus for about 4 hours to Parana. It was great! Our pench is so weird...haha our bathroom and shower are in the same area. and yeah its interesting. I´ll have to send you pictures of it some time. This week was kind of weird because we were in a trio with another Hermana in another area because her companion got her visa for Ecuador and this sister was leaving to go home so we preatty much just made visits to people that she wanted to say goodbye to. It was good though becasue I was able to meet lots of the ward members. THEY ARE AWESOME.
Church was great and this week we are really getting to work. Its great! Usually my p-days are Monday but it was different this week because of transfers.
