Julios Baptisms and hello Mercedes

Wow...I can't believe you have already received flight plans home.  I have 3 transfers left.. so weird! But I do feel like I've lived in Argentina forever haha. 

JULIO GOT BAPTIZED!! It was awesome. Everything went off without a hitch! Hna Todd and I sang a song  at the baptismal service, and Julio was smiling the whole day. Then on Sunday when he was confirmed he told us that he was thinking about the first day when we contacted him, and even though he was working he let us in.. and that we brought such a peace into his house! Hes super awesome, and I'm excited for him to progress and receive the priesthood.  

Then President called and gave us the news that Hna Todd is going to be training in Bella  Vista - which meant I was for sure leaving - and he said I'm going to Mercedes.  It is known as a hard area and the birthplace of gauchito gil.   The church is a tiny dentist building we rent out and there are only about 20 people who come to church.  It will be tough - but I'm sure things can be great, it just depends on my attitude. 

Saying Good-bye! 

It was hard leaving Bella Vista yesterday because I felt like like that place was my home. I was so close with all the members.. and everyone there really. Even the people we would pass by on the street everyday or the people who worked at the groceries stores said they were sad I was leaving.   I will miss this place. 

We had our multizona this week, and Hna  Balderree brought me my fav candies, a coke,
hairspray, and a little note. Shes so sweet! 

Love you so so much!!!!
