Transfers!

- February 08, 2021

¡Hola Familia y Amigos! I am being transferred! My last area will be the Rio Vista Spanish YSA ward! I'm super excited! In the YSA wards we get to use instagram and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that hahaha Trying to think about all the good things that have happened this week. It's all kind of a blur and I have a feeling that's exactly how these next 6 weeks will go. I feel like I just started my training in Argentina....yesterday. But Lighthouse has been such a great experience. I have learned and grown so much. The members and youth are amazing and I will miss cute Judith and her daughters. I think more than anything, I'm just grateful. Grateful for my companions, my experiences in both Argentina and Utah, the Book of Mormon, and the gentle reminders that God is aware of each one of us. These last 16 months I have been so blessed! And it's not even over yet :) I'm excited to see what's in store for me this next transfer! Alma 29:9 - "I ...

Oh Hi!

- April 13, 2020

Queridos Amigos y Familiares, Holy heck. Maybe I should just leave the email at that because it perfectly describes these last 2 weeks. I arrived home safely last week after about 40-ish hours of traveling. The Church chartered a flight from Buenos Aires for about 570 missionaries. Because my mission is one of the northernmost (is that a word?) missions AND all of Argentina was on some sort of lockdown quarantine with all the province borders shut down...we had to stop for about an hour at every province border we passed through. What should have been a 20ish hour bus ride ended up being about 27 hours so that was awesome. Not to mention, the bus was 13 hours late to pick us up in Jujuy. Once we got to Buenos Aires, they dropped us off at the MTC right next to the temple. That's where the rest of the 500 or so missionaries were waiting. There were missionaries from Santa Fe, Rosario, etc. and I actually got to run into some missionaries from my MTC district who were in Sant...
