guys... they have a queso truck here. it goes around and has a little song singing about queso... weird? well this past week has been amazing!! there is so much to write about, so I hope I remember it all. so we get to teach investigators every day, and I absolutely love it. it is so amazing how the spirit will tell you what to say. my companion and I would plan out a lesson for our investigators, and once we were teaching them the Spirit told us to teach something else. I have also shared a few experiences that just popped into my mind. the spirit was so strong each time I would share an experience. even though it is hard to understand our investigators due to the lack of my Spanish, I know that the spirit is the same. I feel the Saviors love for these people each time I teach. the
CCM (MTC) is the best experience, and I love every day! It has been so amazing to see how the Lord has blessed me with the gift of tongues. It is small progress, but progress none the less. I will be in lessons and I will be able to understand most of the conversation, and be able to respond in my Spanglish, but they will understand. my companion is so awesome and helps me with Spanish everyday. I don't know what I would do without her. we were also able to attend the
temple Tuesday. that was kind of a surprise. we were in the middle of class when a teacher ran in and told us to get ready for the temple. the temple has been closed since we got here, so it was a treat. we all ran to get our temple stuff. my companion lost her recommend

(guys I can not spell anymore, I mix Spanish and English all the time) so the temple workers just let her in. the
temple here is so beautiful! it is even more beautiful inside! there are sky windows all over, and the art work is amazing.
I love the temple here. we got our rented clothes and guess what? mine was too short, and my slip was huge! so I looked pretty awesome if I say so myself. the session was so good. and no dad, I got an English headset so I could understand. maybe next time I will listen in Spanish. I absolutely love this gospel! the Celestial (guys did spell that right?) room was so colorful and beautiful. it reminded me of the one at timp, but less white. I decided to pray, and that was the longest and most sincere prayer I have even given. I felt the Spirit so strong, and I felt as though there were arms surrounding me in a hug. it was a great day. oh let me back up, on Sunday we were able to take pictures at the temple! it was so much fun! we took so many pictures, and I love everyone here! we took lots of district pictures because they are my little family! I don't know what I would do without them. we have so many inside jokes, it is the best. if I can figure the computers out I will send some pictures. after we took our pictures we found a bird in the kitchen. that was an adventure... but we rescued him. oh guess what else happened?! I walk into sacrament meeting and guess who was sitting in the room? ALI VINCENT (SUNSHINE)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah...

I PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH ALI IN HIGH SCHOOL |
I was so excited! she told me that her back had been hurting so she went to the doctor. they x-rayed her back and said it was broken (k.. if it was broken she wouldn't be walking) so they had a plane ticket for her to come home. her uncle which happens to be in the Argentina mission training center presidency picked her up. they took her to the doctor just to double check and her back wasn't broken. they were trying to get the rich American to pay for surgery. so she got to spend the morning at the
MTC. I am so glad she is okay and is able to finish her mission. I

I loved hearing her testimony. oh... my toe got infected. I don't know from what, but all my room mates played doctor. the next day I was able to get a blessing from my district leader. it was so strong, and I am so grateful for the priesthood. I think it is getting better. funny story, there was one night where there was a huge thunder storm. they aren't like the ones in Utah. they are sooooo loud and bright. so the Latina sisters were up at 1 in the morning. they said that I was sleep talking... and sleep laughing... the best part is my companion was talking back to me!!!! they were all laughing so hard and wouldn't let us forget that we talk to each other in our sleep. my room mates call the me mermaid... I don't know why. but it is a compliment I guess, right? I love them so much, and the sad thing is they left today! they are so cute, and I am going to miss them. anyways I hope I remembered the important things. I am loving it here! everything is just so great! and I love you all! you are all in my prayers, and thank you for all the support! I cant wait to hear from you!!!
