Malvin>>San Carlos

This week was sooo awesome!! Tuesday night was transfers and I got transferred to Maldonado, San Carlos with Hermana Fernández!! She speaks 0 English which is so awesome!! And she's soo patient with my Spanish which is such a blessing. This area is popping so they decided to split it, which means we're ward sharing. Right now we are living with 2 other sisters in Maldonado because we don't gotta house in our area, I'm still not entirely sure why, but here we are. 40 min from our area jaja. Everyday we hop on the bus and spend all day in San Carlos.

We're really out in the Campo here, lots of cows and horses and goats, so ofc I love it. 

The ward in San Carlos is the best. They have a ton of youth which means tons of activities so I'm pretty much living my best life hahaha. Also the bishop pulled up in his moto to church this week, so you already know this ward is going to be a good time. 

Because there are so many youths, it means we get to teach a lot of youth because they all bring their friends to the activities. The cool thing is most of these kids' parents aren't members. So, they come every single week by themselves. It seriously amazes me.

Thats all for this week!! Go watch conf!!

La Vida - Missionary Style

Since i probably won't write a letter muahaha I decided I'd write you guys one since I don't think I've ever done that  My week was good. My comp is good she's super fun. She definitely likes to work a little ~slower~ which is an adjustment but it's alright.  Had a zone conference with our new president and his 6 kids, his youngest is 3! Haha it was funny they introduced themselves and the 3 yr old was up there screaming the whole time lol. His oldest is 15, I think. His wife speaks pretty good Spanish, she studied it in college, although never served a mission. They lived in China for a few years, because when you're super rich you can do that kind of thing. So, they all speak fluent Chinese so that's kind of weird.  But ya he's cool.   He goes "ya when I got here, I thought president Escobar was going to talk to me about the rules and the standards, but he just gave me like 50 hugs"  It was SO funny because that's very typical preside

Hermana Party Planning

  Hii everyone What a weeeek!!  Started off getting a random vaccine from a south american doctors office, that looked like it belonged in a horror movie, in hopes of not getting deported haha. Do I know what it was for? No. But my arm really hurts Other than that, this week was pretty dang good!! We were walking down the street one day when we met Irene, who we ended up talking to and sharing a scripture with. Halfway through, she told us she was a member of our church, but just hadn't been since she was 14. She invited us over for dinner the next day and we ended up having a really powerful lesson about the Book of Mormon with her and her husband who is not a member. Then on Sunday they all came to church, it was the best miracle ever!!  The second-best part of this week though was definitely the ward party. My comp and I have turned into the party planning committee because this ward hasn't had any activities since covid. So, we planned weekly FHE, ven sigue me, and a talent

Family History Baptism

Well just start off with the best news ever!! The Perez family was baptized this Saturday!!! Best. Day. Ever.  About a month and a half ago Hermana Fernández and I started teaching Liliana and her kids. It's been so incredible to watch them change and progress in the gospel. From the first time they came to church, they were super committed to the gospel. Her jóvenes have been attending all the activities and when we see them their countenances are just beaming.  The baptismal was a tad bit loco, but in a good way (mostly) hahah.  When we got to the church, the font was filled up like maybe a foot. We were like ahhh crap. We vigorously started filling pots of water and dumping them in the font it was a sight to behold that's for sure.  Sooo many people came to support them, which meant we were all super squished into the room with the baptismal font. Like super squished hahah.  Everything was going great until the Hermano who was directing the meeting decided to take some liber
