Week 5

¡Hola Familia!
 
Ah Thankgiving sounds and looked so fun!! Oh and first off, Happy 1st Birthday Bailey!! I thought about her all day! And also thank you so much for all the pictures!!!! I love them!! I can't wait to hear all about your parties and the MOTAB concert! Wooooooot! My photo album broke this week.. so now the pictures are seperate from the cover but that's ok, cause the pictures are still protected, I don't think I'll want any stamps but I'm not sure. Ah I just realized today is my last time going through the temple probably for a while. It'll be sad but today will be good.
 
I received my first letters in the CCM after we emailed! I got one from Nathan and Andrea, and I received one from Sister Guymon, and I loved them! Thank you so much! (Please tell Sister Guymon thank you, I showed my companion and she's like, she's a really good visiting teacher, still visiting after you've left, and it's 100% true!) And thank you Nathan and Andrea, even though your other letter got returned, I got this one :)
 
I leave the CCM ON TUESDAY!!! THE 17TH!! I can't believe it is here.  I think I leave in the morning, but I could be very wrong, and I think I get to email one more time on Monday, but we'll see, that'll probably be very a short email. And can I just say, I have the best family and support! Truely, ah you are all so amazing and I'm grateful for each and every single one of you!
 
This week for us is all just a huge review, we still have classes but we aren't learning anything new, just going over everything, and still teaching our progressive investigators.  It'll be sad for when our district all leaves, because half are going to Uruguay and half are going to Paraguay. We have grown really close together, but we still get off topic ha, BUT we have definitely made improvement.
 
We went proselyting again on Saturday and it was good.  So crazy.  We're at this door and no one is coming, and a door opens a little farther down the street so we go to the girl and we give her a book of mormon and are just teaching her and everything we say she´s like I believe it yes I'´ll read and pray.  And when we finished me and my companion looked at each other and we were like, what just happened. Tender mercies of the Lord that´s what!! And another we were at at house and talking to a 16 year old and her little siblings and we gave her a Book of Mormon, and she said she read, and we leave and me and Hermana Lindsay look at each other and book say, we didn't get her reference! We go to the next house and the person isn't interested and the 16 year old girl calls us back over and asks if we want a cold drink and we look at each other and we´re like of course! and so it's a win win for us and her.  We get a drink AND her reference, and she gets the missionaries ;) and gets to serve us! It was perfect! Let me say it one more time, TENDER MERCIES OF THE LORD! Look for them in your lives every day.
 
We had an English fast yesterday and it was so hard! The only things we can do are teach the gospel and talk about the gospel and argue, but I guess that's good cause we can argue. Think about it!
All chocolate lovers read this: There is a delicious treat here in Argentina and it will be in Uruguay WOOT! and they are called Alfajores or an alfajor.  It is like an oreo. There is a cookie and then some sort of filling, usually dule de leche (carmel) and then another cookie (and there can be acouple layers) and  then it is all cover in chocolate.  It is so good! Research them, and you will want one.
 
Siblings! ha sorry I'm running out of time I Love you! and I am always so excited when I receive emails from you, though I may not always reply know that I love yo uand am so grateful and know I'm thinking about you!! :) :)
 
LOVE YOU!!!!!!
 
Love,
Hermana Louder
