Hola!!

Family I hope you are all doing great! 

From your letters and emails it sounds like a lot has changed! I am excited to hear from you about Argentina in a week!! As of right now, I think that I am going to actually go to school Fall 2014, I just have a strong impression that I need to be in Utah and at school that Fall instead of being in Argentina for four months. Even though being with y'all in Argentina sounds a lot more enticing, haha. So I will be flying to Argentina next July 1st. So I have about a year left in my mission. CRAZY. The time is precious and I am not taking it for granted. 

Hermana Knecht and I have been working our little bums off, haha not really, I think all the food is starting to catch up with me :/  One of our investigators Monsserat taught us how to make tamales!!! They were great, and we have also been taught how to make a lot salsas, tortillas, and our very favorite papusa. Hermana Knecht and I want to open a Tamale Truck when we get back to BYU! The ladies that show us how to make all these things tell us that our future husbands will have to thank them for teaching us how to make such great food, haha.

This week we taught Reina, whom we Love so much, the restoration and we watched the Restoration movie! It went really well and we had Linda Studd with us who is a member in our Spanish group. Reina is a funny story, we first knocked on her door and she only cracked it open a little bit to talk with us and she didn't invite us in.  As we continued to go back and go back, she would open the door more and more until she finally let us in. Patience  is the key to this work and just knowing that Heavenly Father has his own time with everyone. My testimony just continues to grow every week of the Restoration of this Gospel!!  A book that has helped my testimony grow this week is, " Our search for Happiness" by Elder Ballard, especially pages 23-32.

I can truly say with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true Gospel on this earth today and only through this gospel can we return to live with God and our families forever.

I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to share this gospel with others even though a lot of people will not accept it. I am so grateful for all my family and friends who have been an amazing example to me in my life and made it easy for me to be a member of this gospel. I hope that everyone will take responsibility upon themselves to share this gospel with others because it is through our friendship and examples to others that others will be able to know the truthfulness of the restored gospel. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Love
