Hermana Pukahi, Hermana Nelson, Hermana Hadley, Hermana Burgos. All of us with our plaques. It was a beautiful day and so fun. |
Holllaaa!! This week was full of
adventures. I took another trip to Bahía Blanca, but this time for my Visa!
At first I was kind of mad because we had a lot of appointments set and
its a crazy long trip, buutt it was a lot of fun. Hermana Nelson and I
went together, but I took care of all the papers and stuff with a bunch of
other missionaries, as she went and worked there in Bahía. As all of us
were all waiting in the visa office place-- talking about are lives, some
sleeping, and then I realized...I brought my cards! I took out those bible
cards that Jerm and Kristen gave to me and we all started playing Gold Fish and
Old Maid. It was a lot of fun! Especially since we were all super tired, and competitive.
The ladies at that worked in the office LOVED the cards and they were
like, wow where can I buy some for us? So I guess these cards are a craze down
here haha.
Well finally that got all taken care
of and after a super long trip back home on the collectivo with some crazy Elders,
we made it back safely...and very tired. BUT the highlight of the week
was this last pday!! It was a beautiful day and we went to this park/hill with
one of my favorite Hermanas from the ward.
At the park sign. |
It was a lot of fun because
everyone was outside and enjoying almost a Summer’s day in the middle of
winter. We had a little picnic and -- of course-- took tons of pictures. We
got to do a little exploring in the hill and (I will show you a picture next
week but I became mulan and sat on a pole!!)
Oh and I almost forgot, we had a big
Zone Conference in Mar del Plata where Presidente, his wife, and the assistants
came and talked to us. Everything I learned was just what I needed to
hear. I know he is truly a man called of God.
Hermana Nelson is awesome!
I'm so grateful for her.
She is an example to me in everyway
AND she laughs at my jokes.
haha

I forgot my journal,
so I can't remember a whole lot of what he said, but my favorite part was when
we talked about our purpose here as a missionary. It helped me to truly
realize my purpose here, why I am here on a mission. It made me think of
you guys, my family. Always remember your purpose here on the earth.
You are sons and daughters of God. Remember you are here to learn
and grow. Don't Forget. :)
I love you all so much!! Please tell
me what's been going on with everyone!
Hermana Pukahi
P.S. I'm 3 now!!! It's already
been 3 months!
