The Only Gringa

I stayed the week in Resistencia with 2 Hermana's that I'm good friends with.  We just did divisions everyday.  

We had some cool experiences. One of them was with a non-member husband of less active family.  At one time he had a grudge against the missionaries because they had been teaching his child without permission. But we started talking to him, asking how him and his wife met, and in the beginning he was super serious, but then towards the end he actually let us teach him, and joked around with us and stuff. After our meeting, the wife walked us out and said she was so sad that we were leaving the area, because we accomplished something with him, that no other missionary has been able to do,and she had been praying that something could happen to soften his heart. So she feels like God answered her prayer. Too bad we both got transferred out of that area.  On Saturday night the Tablero came, and we all went in the chapel to see our new areas and companions. 

I received a Portuguese companion from Brazil Hermana Arias. She goes home the same time I do in 2 transfers so we both have the same amount of time in the mission.  I've only been with her for 24 hours and really like her.  She is super sweet and caring...and very short which makes me look so tall. And she wants to go running with me and we are excited to get in shape for our "last transfer" home.  We traveled all day yesterday to our area "Villa Angela"... in Chaco, and then today we had to travel to our district meeting, and finish pday with the other missionaries. I'm the only Gringa in my district meaning everyone else is Latino! hahah goodbye to speaking English. But all day I've been hanging with the Latinas and I love it. They crack me up.  

I can't believe Nika is getting engaged.  Can't wait to hang out with her and Paul.  When is the actual ring proposal gonna go down? 

During transfers, one elder was going home.. and his parents came to Argentina to  surprise him and picked him up. Please don't do that to me haha. Anyway, LOVE YOU SO MUCH! next week ill be able to update you on my area :)
