So some interesting things that happened this week:
1st off we decided to take the advice of some elders Tuesday and take a different bus to get to our district meeting...bad idea... so we ended up in Las Heras about 30 min (or more) outside of our area lost and with little money after spending 120 pesos for a taxi to get to our meeting!! So I learned 4 things with that experience. 1. Never take a bus if you don’t know where it goes!! 2. Don’t trust elders!! 3. If you notice that a bus is going farther and father away from where you want to go don’t just wait for it to eventually turn around... 4. God answers your prayers. When you pray for a taxi, a taxi will just happen to pass by. Yeah so that was our accidental adventure for the week.
On a more spiritual note...
Rosa accepted a baptism date!! Rose was our miracle ALB that I had with Hna Lloyd that we though was not going to progress. Well, we gave her the baptism invitation the other day and she said yes! I believe that she still has a little bit of fears about going to church because she always has some type of excuse to not go. But we will start having more lessons with members and have the members invite her to church so that she can feel more comfortable to go. We also need to work on helping her husband to listen and accept the gospel too. She has a long way to go but she is progressing a lot!
This week we were able to make contact with the "golden investigator" reference from the zone leaders that has been taking the lessons in Mendoza centro but actually lives in our ward and wants to get baptized here. We are going to have a lesson with him tomorrow and we are very excited for that!
We got our transfer calls last night and we are staying here together! (Not a surprise) But we will now be in a new district, which will be an interesting change. The church just recently changed the number of missionaries that can be in each mission to 200 missionaries. Well our mission has 250 missionaries so there will be a lot of changes in the next few month as several missionaries leave and not so many new ones coming in. Pres Goates said that they will have to close probably 20 areas! But this just means that we have to work harder and rely on the Lord more to keep the work moving forward stronger than ever!

Picnic with the other sisters! We are all staying together again this transfer!! Yay!!
Trust falls in the zone meeting to learn that we much trust our comps
haha I think I would have crushed little hna Diaz!!
The most attractive sisters in godoy cruz centro...well ok the only sisters in godoy cruz centro hahahah
We had a ward activity for women’s day. All the women sat in one long table and the priesthood members served all the women desserts and drinks. Everyone talked and listened to music! It was a great activity and there were several less active member who went and enjoyed themselves. Maria Angelica (our landlord who is not a member who loves us like family) came and had a blast! She is truly crazy but she is also like our mom here. I will miss her soo much when I go. =(
I love you all a ton and I wish you all a great week!!
