Vanina and the Temple

Hermana gracias por tanto amor, la amo mucho y le doy gracias por su hermosa carta!!!

Espero que este muy feliz en Tandil. 

Mi viaje al templo fue hermoso, sin duda es la casa del señor, tuve sentimientos muy lindos y espirituales. Pude compartir el viaje con personas maravillosas que siempre me dieron su apoyo y me ayudaron. Estoy muy feliz!

En cuanto a la pregunta de Nicolas, yo leí mucho acerca del bautismo y de los sentimientos del espíritu santo, me ayudo mucho Galatas 5 final del capitulo. Leyendo eso, el se va a dar cuenta que el Espíritu Santo ya le testifico acerca de la iglesia y el libro del mormón. 

Tengale paciencia, todos tenemos nuestro tiempo, pero digale de mi parte, que la mejor desicion que puede tomar es bautizarse, da miedo cambiar pero las bendiciones que recibimos después de ese primer y pequeño paso son enormes.

La amo mucho y le mando un abrazo

Hermana thanks for all the love, I love you and your letter was so sweet. 

I hope you are happy in Tandil! 

My trip to the temple was beautiful. Without a doubt its the house of the lord. I had lots of really cool spiritual feelings there, and I was able to share the trip with amazing people who have always supported and helped me. 

I am so happy! 

I love you so much! 

Easter and Pascua

Happy Easter! 

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. The Pascua is HUGE in Tandij. (Pascua is a genus of gobies native to the Pacific Ocean. The origin of the name "Pascua" is from the Spanish for "Easter" in recognition of the Easter Island range of the type specimen.) They have a big tourist place called the Calvario here in Tandil and people from all over Argentina come to see it during ¨semana Santa´. The wards here decided to have some Church open houses this weekend to take advantage of the fact that the city was filled with people. It was fun, but because last week there was so much rain and we froze, by the time Friday came I was really sick.  After talking though all of the open houses by Sunday I could barely talk! Still, it was a cool experience. 

One of the things that is really big in Argentina for Easter is chocolate eggs. They have huge ones that have little toys inside. Hermana Gianarelli in our ward offered to teach us how to make them. On Thursday we went to her house and made a whole bunch to give to our Investigators. 

Also this weekend my MTC comp Hermana Davidson and her comp Hermana Estrada stayed at our house. Up until now, Hermana Davidson was the only companion that I hadnt been with for their birthday, but on sunday she turned 20! We ended up being together after all.

Birthday Rain

Hi! 

Thank you so much everyone for the birthday wishes! We taught lots of lessons and went out to dinner as a zone, all in all it was a really good day!

We have a couple of investigators who are progressing pretty well! It's tricky getting them all to come to church but we are working on helping them see the blessings that follow sacrifice.

This week we went to a place called Centinela. There is a legend about this big rock up here in Tandil but I don't remember it...It was a cool place though... haha. 

Saturday night we had a correlation meeting and on the way home it started POURING. The walk home was an hour long and by the time we got home we looked like we jumped in a pool. It hasn't stopped raining since! The thunder storms are so crazy here we always wake up multiple times in the night. It usually sounds like the house is going to fall over.

I loved Conference with my whole heart. I hope that everyone was able to watch it! 

HAPPY EASTER

Urban legends go that the rock keeps in its interior the last Indian lookout of these hills, who refused to leave when the white man arrived and thus was petrified in front of the city of Tandil, then called Independencia Fort.
