Hello Fam!

It was a pretty good week. We are still 

really struggling getting people to church 

which is pretty frustrating, but all is well! 

We are working hard and have some great 

people we are working with.. we just have to 

see if they´re willing to make a sacrifice 

to come to church, because if not they

really can´t progress.
This week I would just like to share an entry from my journal. Saturday night
we went to the General Relief Society 

Broadcast and it was really special! 

Here is what I wrote in my journal about 

the experience...
 ¨ Last minute we went to the RS General 

Broadcast. I am so glad we went!! It was so 

great and special. Out of the whole stake 

there were only 11 of us there
(including us 4 missionaries). For the 

intermediate hymn we sang ¨I Stand All
Amazed¨. Usually watching General Conference 

and everything makes me sad because I feel 

like I should be there.. but this time was

different. As all of the choir and the women 

in the conference center stood and sang ¨Oh 

it is wonderful that He could care for me 

enough to die for me, oh it is wonderful,

wonderful to me¨, the 11 of us stood tall 

and proud, and sang in spanish

¨cuan asombro es que por amarme así 

muriera el por mi, cuan asombroso es, lo

que dió por mi¨. I couldn´t help but cry. 

Instead of missing being a part of that

great big group there in the states and 

feeling like distantly that´s where I 

belonged, I was a part of those 11 women 

representing my stake here in Formosa. 

They are my sisters. In that moment, I 

felt like THIS was my group. That THIS was 

my true home... where I belonged. I felt SO

much love for each one of those women and 

I felt very strongly the love that God has

for each one of them. For each one of those

women in that giant conference center, and

for each one in Utah, in the states, and in

all the tiny nooks and corners all of the 

world--including that small group of 11 

representing a weak and struggling but still-

fighting-strong stake in Formosa Capital, 

Formosa Argentina. President Eyring spoke 

afterward about why it´s so hard to lose

someone that you serve, because you just 

grow to love them SO much. I think about

leaving these people here... leaving 

Argentina, leaving my ´home´ to go ´home´.

I think when I go home, I won´t really 

know where my home is... because I think
I am now more comfortable here. I know 

that at that point it will be right for me 

to be there, but half of my heart will 

always be here in Argentina. The thought 

of leaving these people who I have served 

and dedicated all of myself to seriously 

breaks my heart. The people I have given 

so much of my effort and my heart to... 

the people I have seen grow and change and 

progress so much. 

The people I have grown to love more than

 I ever knew I could love. Just the thought 

of it brings me to tears. As much as I have 

struggled,as much as I have missed my family

and friends and loved ones there, missed my

old life and the ´real life´, as much as I 

have sometimes missed the world, or struggled 

putting my whole self into being here, I 

know that nothing will be able to compare 

with how much I will miss being HERE once I 

leave. Argentina has become my home. The 

people here have become my people, and I am 

a part of them.

I love this crazy country with all of my 

heart, and will forever be grateful for 

the opportunity to serve here.¨

 Thank you all for your love and support. 

Time is flying by way too fast but I guess

así es. I love you all so much!!! Make sure 

you all watch as much conference as possible

and go in with questions written down.. I 

promise you will receive answers to the 

things you need right now. LES QUIERO MUCHO!!!
