Que Macana...

Last P-day before the field! Wow, I must say, this is exciting! We received our flight plans last Friday, so we'll be leaving this upcoming Monday at 8:30.  We'll fly from Salt Lake to Atlanta, Georgia, and then to Buenos Aires!!!! All of the Elders in my district will be going on the same flights, so that's also fantastic! Oh, and I heard about Candiss and Twyla's baptisms! So cool!!!

The district right above us departed recently, so we're officially the eldest in the zone... for a few more days! Also, we're getting a new District today, which will be composed of 8 elders and 4 sisters! For those of you not familiar with how small some of these classrooms are... that's a large district! Another fun fact is that i recently completed reading the Book of Mormon from cover to cover! We started when we first got here, so I'm pretty satisfied with that.  Several others in our district finished as well!  Anyways, now i'm reading it in Spanish (which takes quite a bit longer! :) ) 

I'd like to again thank everyone for your emails and letters/packages!  Nothing lights up our day here as much as a little surprise from home! (And the spirit of course :) ) So, also, i'll get responding to actual letters soon, so don't worry folks! Oh, by the way, what did the Janitor yell when he jumped out of the closet? Supplies!!!! (One of the Hermanas in my district is obsessed with that joke... :)

Here's a little spiritual thing that I learned this week.  Live your life in such a way that the Holy Ghost is COMPELLED to dwell with you, as well as enjoys dwelling with you.  We need to make this a goal in our lives as we strive to be like Christ! 

Thanks you all so much for your love and support! I love you folks, and you're all in my prayers every night!  

Hurrah for Israel!
