The mission did transfers but i am staying in my area with my companion again for 6 more weeks. it is starting to become really hot here, so hot that sleeping is starting to get uncomfortable. Everyone says that its going to be super hot this year here cause it was a warm winter. I am getting pretty tan but just from my elbow down to my hand, the rest is whiter than sour cream, its kinda funny on pday when i am in a normal shirt and you see the difference in it.
Elder Christofferson came to Argentina to talk to us. hes soo awesome! He spoke all about the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the spirit was pretty strong. I tryed to make it to the front row cause i wanted his spit to hit me when he talked but all the sister missionaries took the seats in front, sister missionaries always ruining everything haha jk. I like something he said that was that we speak so confidently to the people about the atoneing power of Christ but we disinclude ourselves from this same power we promise other people they can feel. I learned that the Atoneing power of Christ is for all living creatures ecspecailly us. He suffered for all. The only thing that holds alot of people back from recieveing this power most times is the lack of faith that the atonement can really heal ALL things, and give us peace and comfort.
I pulled out an ingrown toenail this week, it hurt sooo bad but now were back in business, i know it sounds funny haha but as i was screaming like alittle school girl my companion pointed out the Atonement and that Christ suffered all that and more, and in the moment while the pain was burning i felt a greater appreciation for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Cool ways to build a testimony huh! while ripping a nail out!
This week we had like 25 lessons with member but our people that had baptism dates did make it to church, its been 6 weeks since i have been here that there is a family weve dropped that still wants to go to church, every single sunday morning something happens with the family, like this last sunday their aunt died, the one before the police was called becasue the cousin who lives there was making threats to the mom, and everyweek something happens but i know that the lord is preparing them to be great members of the church. We had to drop them cause the arent married yet. We tried to help them 2 times with the date for marraige but the guy hit his head leaving the house and couldnt make it to the civil registry in time so it fell through. many trials but many blessings too, this week will be finding new investigadores! Have a great week everyone!

Well i am headed out to do other things now but i hope youall have a good week and dont forget that i love you all!
Something i like also that Elder Christofferson said was that even though we dont remember the premortal that if we saw the face of God then wed recognize him right off, cause we lived with him for who knows how much time! And that our father in heaven knows our face too, and the lord knows us also! and they both love us and care about us more than we can imagine! I just like to share that i and so you can all feel alittle more loved from the lord when things are tough!
Love you, have a good week!=D
