What a week!

First off, skype with my family was so great yesterday! I love them all so much and I was so grateful for the opportunity to talk with them! Granted it was a little choppy because I am in Argentina, but I still loved it. And Happy Mother's Day to the best mom in the world! :)

We have had some amazing experiences this week. Granted, we couldn't leave very much because my knee has been hurting me, but when we could leave, Heavenly Father put the prepared people in our path so that we could find them.

The first people is a couple named Carmelo and Susana. They are a young couple, they aren't married, and they have 2 kids and one on the way. We were planning this week as to what we would teach them and we decided we were going to give them a baptismal date for 13 of June. We had a lot of faith because usually to have a date to get married it takes a long time and Carmelo and Susana hadn't made the decision to get married either. So we put June 13th with faith that they would be able to be baptized on that day. We went to their house the next day and Susana told us she had some big news. They decided they wanted to get married, so they went and picked a date to get married..........June 12th!!! They said they could pick June 12th or they had to wait until next year for a date to get married. WOW!!! We were so excited! We didn't have words. We are going to have another wedding!!! yes!! I am super excited to help plan again and to help them get married and get baptized. They also came to church yesterday. Yes! They are so preprared. I love it. :)

That is the biggest story for this week. We are going to keep finding more people and I know that we are going to have a lot of success here. I love this gospel and I love being a missionary!

Love,

TRANSFERS!

We had transfers this week! I am now in an area called Acevedo. It is in the provincia of Buenos Aires! I'm no longer in Santa Fe or Rosario, I am in Buenos Aires! And it is beautiful. I will send pictures next week. I am in a big city. It is really different from my other area. And you will never guess who is my new companion??? HERMANA CHRISTIANSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO!!!! We are offically companions! We are so excited to be here together. The other thing a little crazy is..we are doing a white wash. That means that we are both new to this area and we have absolutely no idea where anything is or who anyone is. There were elders in the area before, and now we are here. It is going to be VERY interesting and we are basically starting fresh from the beginning. Wish us luck! We met the bishop yesterday and we have a meeting with the ward mission leader today. It is a good place to start. I don't really have much more to say because nothing much has happened. But next week will be full of stories of our adventures. I love you all!!

Love,
