Hola
Everybody!!
Yesterday we got to
get on a bus and take a ride into the city! There are 9 million people who live
there and it was so crazy. Busses and scooters were going everywhere and we
were like 2 inches from them at all times. So not safe! There were also like 6 lanes
of traffic on each side. Apparently Obama was here that day in Buenos Aires at
the embassy to make the passport and visa system easier. We were all there to
get our permanent visas and I never saw him but I think he was in the building
across the street that was shut down. There were so many people walking around
and the city is so cool here! There are a bunch of thick plain apartment
buildings and they look so odd then all around them are tons of regular trees
and palm trees! It is the coolest thing. Back home the city is bare and life
less. Here it’s full of nature and they have gardens growing on walls! It is
actually very beautiful. This week me and my compañera have been learning about
preterit vs. imperfect in Spanish. We also took a big test over everything we’ve
learned and I aced it! We had to greet
someone in Spanish and ask them all about their lives and tell them about ours.
Then we had to ask to share a scripture in Spanish, read it, and explain it. It
was fun. We also had to recite all the things we´ve memorized. So far that’s
the Joseph Smith first vision, Moroni 10:4-5, the baptismal invitation and our
purpose all in Spanish. (I aced that too) then we had to write our testimony
about Jesucristo and uhh I was on fire with the Spirit. I enjoyed that test so
much. I know why too, it’s because I’m so excited to teach the gospel in the
language of this people. Their native language. I´m so excited to feel the
spirit touch their hearts. I think there is a reason we don’t call them tests
we call them Fiesta de conocimiento. Party of knowledge!!! We get to go out
this week and teach real people and go tracting! We each get assigned an area
and it’s going to be so awesome! Teach the hearts of the people and you do that
with the Spirit and their native language! Wish us luck!! Love you all!!
The temple was BEAUTIFUL!
It was all in Spanish and we could have headphones but none of us got them. It
was soooo amazing on the inside. I think I sent some photos but I’m not sure
and now we aren’t aloud to until the field because it slows the computers :( oh
well I’ll just have to send you a TON later. This week I got an awesome eye
rash and I think it was from my old makeup buuuttt my eyes were all read and
blotchy and swollen... I looked hot! Hahaha actually I looked like a dead
person but it finally went away today. I took a picture of myself and I’ll have
to show you when I get in the field. We are singing the EFY As Sisters in Zion/Army of Helaman Medley
and we are singing the end in Spanish. IT SOUNDS SO GOOOD. I´m excited for Easter
here. I think we are fasting that day too. We watched Meet the Mormons this
week! Every Sunday we
get to watch a church movie and its super relaxing. I love Sundays here.
