Hola,
 |
| This is Posadas! And my area! Isn't it just gorgeous? |
This week was full of adventures!
First I had my leader meeting which was a lot of fun and very spiritual. We
talked a lot about how to be better leaders and ate a lot of really good food; Mexican
quesadillas included. And I was with a ton of Americans!! English awful!!!
It was fun.
Next, we had a Noche de Hogar [Family
Home Evening] with our investigator Enrique. He is so great. He has been
investigating for a year now and has the strongest testimony. He is just
waiting for his divorce to go through so that he can get married again and be
baptized! We are starting to teach his wife, Maria Ester, she is very sweet! We
ate lunch with them on Sunday. They are amazing! And he came to church!
Sebastian is another investigator
who has a date for the 24th to be baptized! We started to teach his girlfriend,
Jessica, this past week. They both came to church as well.
Valeria did not come to church this week.
But things are improving. She used to smoke like 15 cigarettes a day. We taught
the Word of Wisdom and the next day she only smoked 8! She is doing so well,
getting lower every day! She also met the Relief Society president and it
helped so much!!
The family Delima are investigators
that we found just contacting houses. We watched the “Restoration” with them
and celebrated the hermano´s birthday. They really like the movie!! We are
going to see how this week goes!
We have been finding a lot of new
investigators but we will see this week if they will progress or not!
Okay,
so there was a guy who really wanted us to go to his house to ‘teach’ him and
he wanted to take us to ice cream and such, but instead he gave us free
chocolate bars and we bought cotton candy from him, just to be nice. But free
chocolate, so it was okay, hahaha
Hermana Lopez and I are doing amazing.
Life is wonderful and we are happy! We are best of friends and doing a ton of
work! I now do splits with my hermanas and call them once a week. I now attend
more meetings and talk to the Zone Leaders about how to help my hermanas, who
are Hermana Fox (Utah) and Hermana Areneda (Chile). They are great! God loves us and I know that this is His work!
Here
is some daily life information. Boxing is awesome. I love it. We do a half hour
of boxing, half hour of zumba and half hour of yoga and meditation. It´s pretty
great. I am eating well, and a lot. I hope I don´t get fat, haha. I ate fish
yesterday... but I am feeling okay! The sisters from the ward switch off doing our
laundry. We do our food shopping in the markets and now that I am in the city
it is more in a store that is like Walmart. The city is very modern, a little
like México but I’d say a little more modern! The beach is a half hour walk
from home.
Yesterday we had meetings all day
with ward council, church and then meetings with the Stake President and the
mission leaders. Afterwards we watched the General Women’s Conference. It was
super spiritual!!

Today for P day we spent it with the
Relief Society President, Marina. She is amazing and is passing through a
really hard time right now. So we all went to lunch, walked on the Costa Nerra,
went to the beach and walked home. It was all day and wonderful, a ton of fun
and being able to help her felt amazing!

| Hermana Lopez and Marina, our Relief Society president. She is 23 and amazing. |
It was a super fun girls’ day out.
 |
| Hermana Marina and me. |
 |
| Kayakers! I miss it!! |
 |
| On the Costa Nerra today. |
 |
| On the beach. Don't worry, we didn't touch the water!! |
 |
| Being artsy! |
All is well here; the work continues
and life is great, always remember that!
With all my Love,
Hermana Newell
Mom, Happy Mother´s Day in Argentina this next Sunday!! I´m early but that is
better than being late!
