BUENAS NOTICIAS!!!!!!
 
I AM GETTING TRANSFERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFFFFFFFIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! but its a long kinda sad story! but i will start with it all in a minute. but i had no idea that brad is assistent to the president!!!! thats like freakin a studd on the mish. dang son!!!! what a capo! little ol sis is busy as ever as always. haha. MOM DULCE DE LECHE IS SOOOO BOMB ISNT IT????? oh i love that stuff!!!! they have everything dulce de leche here!! even an ice cream flavor. it is super bomb!!!! We have lunch appointments here and they are usually pretty normal (regular) we eat super good here. the food is bomb. its not much like ingreadeant wise but its super good if that makes sense. in easier words......its super easy to make and super good. We go to a place called La Anonima to shop for groceries. Its kinda like a mini wal-mart.....ish. i have never baught from an open market. that would be sweet to do though. the only thing i have eaten that is weird is cat food. they eat it alot here. its not sold as cat food but thats exactly what it is. my companion and an elder ate cow heart when we were on divisions one time so i was kinda close to eating something weird but we happened to be on divisions that day.
 
so this week......well first off i bet you kids want to know where i am going to now that i am going to be transfered????? NEUQUÉN!!!!!!!! To an area called Senillosa (its pronounced sen-ee-sho-sa) its a little desert pueblo. super small area and has been known for alot of trucho (disobedient) missionaries. but i am going to change that. My new companion is from Buenos Aires. Elder Castez? I think thats his name.
 
So now that you know haha. Tuesday was Valentines day......kinda weird cause alot of people asked about girls back at home and what not. I bet you kids would like to know who i told them i was thinking about, wouldnt ya????? all of our plans for that day fell through so at night we did a Noche de Hogar (FHE) with a family from our ward. Then wednesday we sang and had our confernce. I sang bomb. Hmna Peterson (Presidents wife) said i just have so many talents and that i sing so beautiful and that she wants more elders like me in the mission. hahah :) just sayin.... :) but the confernce was super good. Elder Fosters spanish was terrible. but i understood everything he said cause i used to talk like him. hahah. then president told us that Gaiman was going to have full time missionaries this next transfer which means we are leaving gaiman. then we went to Gaiman with Elder Nance. he was from my travel group to argentina from the states. Friday we taught Noelia. she is one lesson away from baptism and is golden. her baptismal date is for the 25 of this month. The week after i leave she is getting baptized.  on saturday we made shirts as a district. then on sunday. my last sunday in both areas. the good byes in Union 2 werent too bad. but the ones in Gaiman were hard. We had some super close families and super close investigators. Noelia and Familia San Pedro, and Familia Lopez were about to cry when we said our good byes. we wer super tight with them. And the son of familia lopez, Rodrigo, gave me one of his jerseys and said "thank you for everything you did for me and my family, I want to see you again, you have to come back to see us." i teared up. it was super hard to say good bye to these families. I love these people. With all of my heart. I AM GOING TO COME BACK TO ARGENTINA AFTER MY MISSION!!!!!!!!! and then today i just packed my bags then we ate a asado (bbq) with a family in the area of the elders of parque. they were super sweet.
 
My experience with the mission is amazing. I love these people!!!!!!! I never knew saying goodbye to a family or families would be so hard. It was like saying goodbye to my family again. These people have treated me with such love that i dont want to leave. I never knew this would happen on my mission. I love this people of Argentina!!!!!!
