Hello everyone!!  I've survived my first week in the field!! Haha it has been an adventure for sure!! Leaving the CCM was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. It was just an incredible experience overall! I met a lot of awesome people and so it was hard to say goodbye! There´s no place like the MTC!!!  But there's also no place like SALTA ARGENTINA!! I can't believe I'm finally en el campo!! We left Monday morning and got to Buenos Aires Tuesday morning. Then we had to go to another airport in order to fly to Salta. The problem was that the workers at this domestic airport were on strike so it was pure chaos!! Haha thankfully our flight was only delayed a couple of hours. Tuesday evening we finally arrived in Salta capital and President Orquiera and his family picked us up. We got to eat dinner at the mission home and it was definitely the best food I've had in 6 weeks!! They have an 8 year old son and he is the cutest!! Even though I ́ve only...

Hey guys!!!  So I finally made it to Salta!! it is soooo great to finally be here as we have been traveling for the past 32 hours lol We left the CCM yesterday at 9 am and then our flight was at 1 pm to Panama. Then we had a layover in Panama and got some American food YAY and then got to Buenos Aires at 7am this morning.   Then we had to drive all the way across Buenos Aires in order to get to the domestic airport to fly to Salta. The problem was that this airport was on strike apparently so we literally stood in lines for hours and the two representative people with us were soooo confused. The airport was basically chaos and crowded and our flight got delayed until 4:30, but thankfully we finally made it safe and none of my bags were lost thankfully haha and i didnt have to pay for my bags being overweight.  We're at the mission office now. I'll talk to you guys next week on Monday probably! Love and miss you guys!! Hope you guys are doing well! ...

Hey y’all!!  This week was a GREAT week!! Looking back, I’ve realized how much I’ve actually enjoyed the MTC in so many ways. I’ve made so many great friends and been blessed with AMAZING teachers and leaders! So sad I have to say goodbye soon:( As y’all know it’s my last week here in Mexico so my comp & I had to go out with a bang. On Tuesday we started a rumor at the CCM that Post Malone died and a lot of missionaries actually believed us hahaha. It spread around pretty fast until we felt bad and told everyone it was a joke. So now everyone in the CCM either thinks we’re funny or hates us lol so that’s fun :))  Last Thursday we had a Skype appointment with a member of the church named Ximena!! The point of this Skype call was to teach us and emphasize to us the importance of working with members to bring others unto Christ. This lady was the sweetest lady ever and I could feel the spirit even as we taught her a short and simple message in our broken Spanish....
