Hola! How are you all doing? Well, it was very fun to talk to all of you yesterday. Very fun to hear your voices. I felt bad about the mix up with Hna. Hedquist´s family and everything, and that the first things we had to say were about the time schedules, and who was calling when. Thanks for calling her family though. She was able to talk to them so it worked out just great.
It sounds like you are all doing well. I´m so happy to hear that things are going well. It was fun to think about the differences /culture of Argentina as well. Like I said, I´m forgetting what´s really different! Funny how that works.
So it rained A LOT yesterday. It never rains,and it really rained. It was great, and it made walking yesterday more exciting. In the center of town where there´s pavement it was pretty normal, but the dirt roads became mud roads. :D It was entertaining. I´m just happy that I managed to stay on my feet the whole day. jaja Isn´t ¨jaja¨funny? It´s how they write ¨haha¨ here. Or else they write ¨jeje¨. I like it.
Anyway, we had a GREAT lesson with Patricia and Sergio yesterday. We have been teaching them The Plan of Salvation for a good while now. It´s even longer because we can only meet with them once a week,and they have a lot of questions when we´re teaching. So we finally were able to teach the 2nd half. The spirit world, resurrection, judgement, and the 3 degrees of glory. We emphasized how THEY need to know for themselves if it´s true. They don´t need to know for Hna. Hedquist and I... we´re just here to help and guide them - to help them know for themselves. As we asked them if they are going to pray to know for themselves, Patricia was a little hesistant. So we asked again. She expressed her concerns that she can´t just change religions every time someone new passes by her house to teach. We agreed. And that´s why she needs to ask Heavenly Father if it´s true, with a determination to act on her answer. They need to be reading the Book of Mormon - investigating! Because their decision about this will have a consecuence for a long, long time. We think they understood. We´re eager to pass by again this next weekend to hear what has happened.
As for Carla Barría... she´s a wonderful person as well. It´s hard to help her realize that she needs something more in her life. She needs to be reading the Book of Mormon. We still haven´t even taught The Plan of Salvation to her. :o( We´re going to pass by atleast one more time to teach it, help her realize the significance of everything, and then let her decide what she wants to do.
Yes, we are trying to build the ward here. It´s tough work. But it´s good. Mostly it just makes me sad that people aren´t keeping their baptismal covenants. It´s a daily battle for everyone. Myself included.
Well, sorry this is short. It took a little bit to attach the pictures. I want you all to know that I love you A LOT and I hope that you´re happy. Remember the quote in ¨The Living Christ¨ : ¨His (Jesus Christ´s) way is the only path that guides to happiness in this life, and eternal life in the world to come.¨ I love you!
Love Always,

Hola! so, I´m going to try to attach pictures really quick. We´ll see how it goes. The first one is of Hna. Hedquist and I - 30 minutes ago! So now you know exactly how we look in this instant.
The 2nd one is of Hna. Wilches and I at general conference. We´re with Hna. Valería Moreno. She helps us a lot. She´s the ward mission leader´s wife.
The 3rd one is of Hna. Wilches with her hair down because I think her hair is fun down, and it was always up in a pony tail. So I took a picture to celebrate.
Alright, that´s all for now!
Love,
