Hola From ARGENTINA!!!! I Am In BALCARCE!!!

July 7, 2014
Balcarce!!
It's been raining but it's fun!
Dear Family & Friends,

Hola from ARGENTINA!!!! I am in BALCARCE!!!

I’m finally here!! wut wut.  Ahh crazzy. Okay so I still can't believe I'm here.  This past week has been quite a week.  I think. haha So I'm gonna give you all the low down of what's been happening since I talked to ya last.  So so so...
Our last Sunday together
with Branch President
I made leis for my MTC family
I love them all!
The volleyball crew!
Bump, Set, Spike
Basically Sunday was the last day that the good ole CCM.  We said goodbye to all the kids in our Zone and the other supes fun peoples there.  Weird.  I was kinda super sad after saying goodbye.  haha I mean.  I don't really even know much about them -- BUT I still care for them.  And it was like this:  Well we had GREAT times...good luck! See ya! (But honestly...probs not..) It was that type of thing. Wait, does that make sense?
Saying Goodbyes
Okay anyways...after that shindig and packing like crazy the rest of the night.  We woke up, had an adventure of trying to get 19 people to the airport on the Trax.  Then got there and I TALKED TO YOU GUYS ON THE PHONE.  Did you love hearing my weird voice? Did I sound normal? Cuz I loved hearing your voices!! It made me so happy x 50,000. Yep like Pharrell Williams happy.  So yeah.  Wait, JOSH HOW ARE YOU? Can you please write me. Pleassee. Are you at home now?
On the plane with my missionary crew
Okay but really I loved it muchisimo!  Okay so then we got on the plane to ATL, and I spilt my Cafe Rio sauce ALL over the Elder sitting next to me.....uhh..yeah.  hahaha, okay not funny.  Then we landed in the Georgia and had that layover.  Well I didn’t tell you this on the phone, but I gave out my first Book of Mormon there!!!!! Actually, un libro de mormon!!!  Okay here is the really fast story:

So we helped this lady go get some food. This older lady, who we found out was 91 (wait I think that's what she said), was going on the same flight as us. She was going to Argentina Buenos Aires where she lives.  So we talked with her in CASTELLANO!! Yeah...#prettycool.  Okay so she was in a wheel chair so we wheeled her over to the food places and we talked about our lives and what not.  Talked about our beliefs. Oh she is awesome!! Then she said reading books is her passion...so I was like; oh we have a book that we would love to give to you!! haha *hint hint*  She gave us all her contact info and stuff, and then we basically just hung out with her the whole time, buying perfume, and then she bought us ice cream! Yeah she rocks.  Then I gave her the LDM.  Then by that time it was time to board! Her name is Luly. Oh she is so lovely. I hope this story makes sense.

Okay after landing in Buenos Aires airport this is what happened:
  • We went to the temple and stayed there for a little bit, ate empanadas, took naps.
  • Then went to an airport to go to our separate missions.
  • Had to say good bye to my compañera . :( :´(...supes sad!!! and goodbye to the rest of my family who weren’t going to my mission. :((( 
My CCM Districe

  • Made it on the plane to Bahia Blanca, landed, and met our Mission Presidents!!
  • Went to the church, ate, then went to the presidents house to spend the night. (Their house is beautiful).
  • Woke up, went to the church for this orientation thing, said goodbye to the rest of the family, then went to this house just for the night again.  But when I got there it was only 4:00 PM so we went out and worked. I went with a Hermana contacting!! It was fun! I have no idea what the people are saying...but still fun!
  • Woke up the next morning, rode 8 hours in a bus to Mar Del Plata, then got there and met the Zone Leaders.  Then they sent me on another bus for one hour to my area.  And now I am here!!!! Balcarce!!!!
Mi y mi companera
Hermana Tovar
Okay that was way too long of a story...basically I love the people here already!! Everyone is so nice and caring. Most of the time, I don’t know what there saying, but hey--I can feel their spirit and their love for me.  My companion’s name is Hermana Tovar.  She is awesome.  I love her! She is from El Salvador.  I have only been with her for 4 days, but she has already helped me with so much.  Sorry this letter was full of random things that probs don’t really make sense...but know that I’m doing great!! I’ll eventually understand what’s going on right? haha

I love you family!! Please tell me everything you’ve been up to!!

LAST WEEK!!!! IM HEADED TO ARGENTINA!!!

June 28, 2014

Dear Family & Friends,

All right family this is my last email from the States!!! I will soon be in ARGENTINA!!! ahhhhhh!!!  We, We, We so excited. We so excited!! (Jerm that's for you)  

Well, a lot of great things happened this week. Sunday we got to listen to Sister Janice Kapp Perry. Yes, THE super famous lady in the LDS world, who wrote all those awesome primary songs! She is so awesome!! This devotional was the best devotional I have ever gone to. Well... besides the ones with the apostles...cuz those rocked!  But let me tell you how this devotional started out really well. She started telling us the story of how her and her husband met.  This is how it went:  She had been noticing this blonde RM who had been in several of her classes. He hadn't noticed her, so she decided she wasn't interested. Well...one day she was sitting in her clarinet class, getting ready for a music final. She was busy softening her reed with her lips when she felt a tap on her shoulder.  She turned around, noticed it was the RM, and said, "What do you want?"  He looks at her, smiles, and says, "Those lips look like they can be used for so much more." Hahahahaha!!  And then, listen to this. Her husband now in the devotional room, goes up to her while she's talking to us, and gives her a HUGE smack on her lips right in front of all of us missionaries!! Then he brings his fist into the air, and everyone cheers. It was the funniest thing ever!! hahaha!! Everyone surely paid attention after that.

BUT, that honestly wasn't the best part of the devotional. First, was when she said this, "There will come a time on you mission [or in life] where you will feel like you can't breathe.  Turn to Christ. Turn to Heavenly Father.  He is listening." And then we started singing, A Child's Prayer.  Oh, my goodness--what a special feeling!  We continued to sing the other primary songs that she wrote like: I Love to See the Temple, and Love is Spoken Here. It was a wonderful experience to be singing these songs that I had grown up with. These songs helped me during some hard times in my life. And I was at this moment, singing these beautiful songs with the writer, and with 500 other missionaries!!  Holy Cow!  BUT WAIT, the most perfect and best part was when we stood up and all the Sisters sang the new version of As Sisters in Zion. (The version where she wrote it to suit missionaries) And then all the Elders sang We are as the Army of Helaman. Words can't describe the beautiful feeling I had.  I just stood there, singing at the top of my lungs, arm and arm with my companion, tears streaming down my face. Oh, Wowwie, so AWESOME!!  It was truly a precious night.  

And then Tuesday came along, and we got to see SIX apostles!!! (Oaks, Bednar, Andersen, Ballard, Nielsen, and Christofferson)  It was Christofferson that talked to us, and I wish I could write more of what he talked to us about. But what stuck out to me the most was the number of times he said the word CHANGE.  As a missionary, we change a lot. We have that ability to change. And I was thinking what a blessing that is.  I have the ability to repent every day. I know I can change every day.  Through Jesus Christ, I can become like Him. "You are nothing in this work without Christ."

This week went by super, super, super fast, and I can't believe the time has already come for Argentina, Babbyy! I have learned so much from each person that has crossed my path here at the MTC. I love my companion, and I am SO SAD that I have to say goodbye to her. I love my District and my new Zone. What a blessing to have met these wonderful people. The CCM--I gotta say, it surely wasn't easy here.  BUT this means I am learning and growing.  I'm so excited for more hard things to come and more learning experiences to happen!! I know I surely can't get through them without my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is my Rock and my foundation.  He is my Best Friend and Brother.  (Helaman 5:12)

I know this church is true with all my heart.  I'm so excited for my mission in Argentina to officially commence. This is real life. What a blessing it is to be called as a missionary for My loving Heavenly Father. I know I am a daughter of God.  I love Him, and I know He loves me.  

Much Mahalos for everything Family!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you!!!!

NINE Days Left Here At The CCM!!!

June 21, 2014

We had to say goodbye to these Sisters.

Dear Family & Friends,

I have NINE days left here at the CCM!! craazzzyy!  Yesterday we got our travel plans, which made everything feel all of a sudden so real.  We ARE actually going to Argentina baby!! (Speaking of which...Argentina just won sooooo I'll be there during the world cup!! woot woot) Anyways, receiving them made me and my companion super excited...and then super sad.  It hit us all of a sudden. Wait we are actually leaving this place? AND leave each other.  So we definitely acted like girls for those moments of...happy and then sad and then happy again.  haha oh well!  It's crazy how much I've grown to truly love this place.  Which is sort of weird right cuz everyone who gets back from his or her mission NEVER talks about the MTC...but this place rocks!!  We don't have to worry about making food, they give us allowance every week, they GIVE us investigators, everyone is so nice, we can ALWAYS feel the spirit, plus bonuses: we get to see an apostle basically every week! What is there not to love?  

With the new Hermanas in our Zone.
This week we got to see Elder M. Russel Ballard.  That was cool! He came in with his cute, little wife and talked to us about.... wait for it...missionary work!! Haha, My favorite part was where he said, "stay anchored to the doctrine of Christ." and "The Savior has the words of Eternal Life."    Especially as a missionary, we need to stay anchored to the foundation--the simple and clear message.  Faith in Jesus Christ is our very first step.  It is our Foundation. Repentance, Baptism, Holy Ghost--all the doctrine of Christ.  It's like those videos on the plane, (the information one's where we basically have them memorized hahaha).  We need to put our own breathing mask on, BEFORE helping others. We have to be anchored to that foundation, that doctrine before we can truly help others. 

Fun in the rain.
We also got to hear from Sherri Dew, which was pretty cool last Sunday! That was wonderful as well!! She talked about Grace --> the power of God.  She is an awesome Lady. The rest of this week was fun too! We are finished teaching Olga and we got her to read The Book of Mormon!! That was a huge step so yes. I had a great week! I learned a lot and we got our new missionaries in our zone!! 14 newbie’s :).  They are a lot of fun and hopefully I'll get to know them before I leave...ahhhhh so soon! 

Sister Tu'aukalau's last Saturday with me.
She's leaving for Lubbick, TX next week.
Okay sooo I leave on June 30th!! We head for the airport at 6:00 that morning to catch our flight to Atlanta at 11:00.  Then, at 9:10 P.M. Monday night we leave to Buenos Aires, an 11-hour flight!!! Good thing its over night and I'm good at sleeping on planes. Thanks dad!! I've got lots of experience, hahah.  Well I love youuuu!!!

Love,


Hermana Pukahi


Sister Wooley and I are twins. 
I asked my brother, Jeremy, to take Sister Wooley's sister,
Kristen, out on a date (they know each other.)  And put
together a care package for me and Sister Wooley.

We are for sure going to put badges on them.  An our
District loved the rest of the goodies they put in, too!

There Is Sunshine In My Soul Today!

Week #3 – Saturday, June 7, 2014
Laundry Time
TENGO GOZO EN MI ALMA HOY!!!  

"There is sunshine in my soul today!”  That is the perfect title to this last week!  Also, it's the only song we all know how to sing in Spanish.  So.....we sing it ALOT.  Well, actually just THAT line. Sooooo...all the elders are really annoyed with it.  But I can't help but sing it when there's sunshine bursting out of my soul!!  Ha, ha

I forgot to tell you that last week’s devotional was with Elder Nielsen from the Quorum of the Twelve!!  :) So that was pretty cool!  We were hoping and hoping that we'd see another apostle, but it didn't happen this week. Crossing my fingers for the next! It's still a-okay because after Sunday devotionals, we get to watch some old movies or talks. These last two weeks, I was able to see two AMAZING talks by Elder Bednar.  Boy, that man is certainly an apostle called of God.  He is awesome!

Well, I know school is out....scream and shout, finally Summer’s here...ha, ha (Jeremy I knew you'd love a little of that HSM.)  So, I have some homework for you folks. See if you can find "The Character of Christ" talk by Elder Bednar.  I'm not sure if you can even find it because it might just be for the MTC, but if you do find it, write me and let's talk about it. This talk is honestly life changing.  And I'm not kidding.  So good!! :)  

Highlight of my week was hosting for the new missionaries coming in on Wednesday. Oh, that was fun! The best part was that I got to host Kayleigh Hill…oops, I mean Hermana Hill!  We played soccer and lacrosse together, so seeing her was the BEST.  I got to show her the ropes and all that… so that was lovely.  

Earlier that day was sort of weird.  My compañera had to go to the doctor with another Hermana, so I was without her for almost 4 hours. Doesn't seem that long at all, but it felt like forever!!! I guess since being 24/7 with her, and then being without her, makes me feel like a part of me is missing.  Yeah, weird…ha, ha but honestly, I've grown to love each of these Hermanas and Elders so much.  It's crazy how the gospel can truly bring people together.  We bear our testimonies to each other so much, and I was thinking…that must be it--why we are so close.  Like you know after Girl’s Camp or Youth Conference when we bear testimonies to one another and after the meeting, it's like we feel so much closer and united. It's like that but every single day. Okay, maybe that sounds cheesy, but I love it!  I think it's so true.  I think sharing the gospel and what you believe brings the spirit and love.  It's wonderful.  So I challenge each of you to share your testimony to a loved one.  It doesn't have to be Fast Sunday, you can share your testimony whenever. Then write me about it because I'd love to hear.  :)  
We Love P-Days
The District At Burger Supreme
Also, I think my district is starting to not take me so seriously anymore.  I'm just being too sarcastic. OH, NO! I'm turning into Dad....ha, ha!  It also doesn't help that I am super short.  I don't know where all these tall people came from!!??  Honestly, everyone must've eaten one of Jack's beans and grown so tall because sometimes I feel like an ant.  But hey, it's okay, because guess what?  Tengo gozo en mi alma hoy!  Ha,ha!
Having Fun In Class
Okay, one more highlight of the week.  On Sunday, during our devotional, we sang "Called to Serve." Hermana Nally (MTC Relief Society President) made an arrangement where it grew louder and louder. Oh, I don’t know how to explain it, but it was so awesome and such a happy feeling.  It was like on a warm Summer night, playing outside barefoot. It's at the time of day where the sun has set, still a little light out, but you can start to see the stars begin to shine. (I know, I'm a poet – ha, ha) It's kind of like that feeling, where you're just so happy and content.  It was a perfect night.  

I'm so proud to be part of this missionary work. I just can't wait to go to Argentina!! 

Love,

It's Week 2 At The CCM...MTC (in Spanish)


May 30, 2014

Hello FAMILY!!! 

It's week two at the CCM...MTC (in Spanish).  Sorry about that last email. I was stressed out on trying to write everything I wanted ha ha.  So P-day is every Saturday.  It’s the best day!!! We get to wake up early and go to the temple. Oh It's wonderful :). 


The Sister Missionaries In My District except for 
Hermana Yates (in the purple dress), who is our 
Zone Training Leader.  She is Awesome!
I'm going to have to send pics in a different email cuz I have the bad computer so I can't send pics...if that makes sense.  Anyways, this week was sooo much better than last week! We are finally situated and kinda sorta know what we are doing. My companion Hermana Morris and I are working super well together. I really love her and I'm so glad I have an awesome companion! She's honestly so fun!  woot woot.  


Sister Pukahi & MTC Companion Sister Morris
So we teach lessons to these "investigators"...they really are teachers here, but one of them we didn't know he was a teacher...well he ends up being OUR teacher!! He surprised us and we are like, wait? You're a member!! And then he speaks English and all that stuff and yeah it’s kinda funny.  I guess…ha ha. 

I really love my zone and we have so much fun together. It's totally a bunch of random people from so many different backgrounds, but without just one of them our zone wouldn't be complete.

"I love them all of them.  They are all my little ohana."
I'm learning so much Spanish everyday.  It's wonderful, but I know I DEFINITELY still have a lot to go.  Oh the CCM is wonderful! I love being at the west campus.  Just outside our classrooms is this little river and sort of meadow thing. Well anytime we want we can just go outside and study. Oh it’s awesome. It reminds me of the sacred grove...uh kind of...but for real! You can feel the spirit so strong all the time.  Sometimes I feel like I'm just about to burst into tears because of all the strong people around me striving to be better.  It's an awesome feeling to be a missionary.  Seriously though sometimes I forget.  I walk past the mirror and look at my tag and I'm like…oh yeah!!! Then I get so happy :)  

We're going to be starting to teach another Sister, who is actually our teacher right now.  Her name is Hermana Valdez.  She is the sweetest!!! She will literally do anything for us. She helps us learn and she can instantly bring the spirit every time she talks.  She is truly an example to me.  I haven't gotten a picture with her yet but I promise I'll send one of her and me next email :)  Oh and the new teacher we just got, (who we taught) is Hermano Mace.  He lives in Orem. JEREMY you know his little brother Mckay I think? Idk that's what he said.  But he's super funny and a great teacher.

I feel like I can be myself here. It's awesome.  My companion Hermana Morris and I are roommates with 3 other girls.  They are in a trio...sorry I forgot what I told you last time so I might have already said that.  Anyways they are all so funny!! 


Lunch Another Day With Roommates
The last picture I sent was with Hermana Tu'aukalau....I think that's how you spell it.  Yep, yep!   The only thing I don't like about this place. The ONLY thing is the food. I mean I'm not a picky eater and I eat food!! I LOVE FOOOD!! But I mean, I miss some other food.... that’s all I gotta say about it! But all the workers here are super duper nice and so friendly and cute. What great people I am surrounded with. I am truly blessed.

Oh I do have to say the best time of the day is gym time!!!! So fun!! Volleyball can get pretty intense.  My companion played volleyball so it gets pretty competitive. OHHH yeahhh...uhhh anyways, I love you all so much!!! Thanks for being wonderful examples to me! I love you family :) You are the bestest family ever!...in the history of our islands...just for you dad ha ha.

Jeremy and Jamison:  Did you guys get my letters?  I'd love to hear from you :) go ahead and write me back please!! Jeremy, be nice to Jamison.  Jamison LISTEN to Jeremy.  He loves you and knows what's best for you.  I want you guys to read Jeremiah 31:3.  It's about how God loves us. Always remember you have a Heavenly Father who loves you and is always there for you.  Do the best you can every day okay?  Jerm good luck this week!!! Just be you and you'll do great! Don't stress too much okay :) The lord will help you with anything, so make sure to say a prayer before try outs each day.  Remember you both have the priesthood.  Respect that power and be grateful for it.  I love you guys so, so much!!!!


I LOVE MY OHANA! I KNOW THAT WE ARE ETERNAL.

Hermana (Sister) Pukahi 1st Letter

May 26, 2014

Subject: HERMANA (SISTER) PUKAHI

Mi familia!!!!!!!!  hola hola hola! I love you all so so much. I’m having a wonderful time here at the MTC.  I’m in west campus.  Called it. wut wut. Today is my Pday so you will expect an email from me every Saturday and it's great! My companera (companion) is Hermana (Sister) Morris from Bakersfield California! She's way nice and way fun.  So for the past three days I have been sick. Coughing and everything but I have been blessed with a wonderful companion who is helping me get better.  She brought some essential oils so that has helped allot but I need more cold medicine. I had to borrow some Nyquil so please send me some!!! and Dayquil!! or like other things, like cough medicine and lozenges....idk (I don’t know) how to spell.  Anyways MOST IMPORTANT: PLEASE SEND ME MY TEMPLE RECOMMEND!!!! Mom or Dad can just drop it probably off at the Wyview chapel or just send it because we check mail everyday.  I think you can just drop it off at the chapel cuz I can just go and pick it up.  Also, use Dear Elder.  Have everyone use Dear Elder.  It's basically like sending an email but they print them off for us and we can get them twice a day its great so do that!!! That way it won’t take so much time of me emailing you and that kind of stuff.  Also that way I can hear from you guy’s everyday!! Also please send me pictures. JEREMY.  I know you will take pics...not selfies....of everyone so send them to me like everyday please :) :)  

Anyways on the very first day on Wednesday we got to meet my zone. BTW my hermana (sister) and I are in intermediate!!!! Yep the only ones.  So we are technically a district by ourselves.  I love it. It's basically one-on-one time with the teacher and so we can learn Spanish super fast.  I think we are doing super good.  Anyways we meet all together at Rain Tree apartments for our classes with our zone. My companion and I just meet in a separate room for our class. The very first day we learned how to say a prayer and then the following day we learned to bear our testimony!! So I'm getting there! The other girls in our zone are our roommates.  They are awesome!!! they are a trio. One of the Hermanas (Sisters) is Katelyn Wooley from OHS.  So we are having allot of fun. Plus its great cuz we kind of know each other :)  Another one of the hermanas (sisters) is from New Zealand.  So you KNOWWWW I love that!!! hahaha I just love hearing her talk.  I make her say water. It’s great.  Haha she's Tongan so we like to talk about our families allot.  WE laugh allot.  I’m having a blast!! 
Sister Tu'akalau (from New Zealand) & Sister Pukahi
Yesterday mi y mi companera (me and my companion) taught two investigators. They are just teachers who pretend to be investigators.  But sometimes they are actual investigators so we always have to act like they are real! It’s way fun! But super hard. It’s hard because my Spanish is coming along and I’m getting everything.  But don't know any gospel terms. The first guy we talked to was super hard. Like....we had a plan and then completely talked about things that were not in that plan...wut? I don’t know what happened but it still worked out. The second guy it was way good! It was super hard, like harder than the first. But you could totally feel the spirit and the spirit truly guided us on what to say. It is awesome.  But we are still adjusting to everything. We are definitely new.  Like on Thursday we totally got lost and took the wrong bus to go somewhere.  We had a very good laugh out of it.  We ended up having to go to the main MTC and ask them if they could drive us back.  Haha so that was fun.  

Ahhh, I love it here.  I’m living back in Wyview so that’s weird.  But I like it! It’s so easy to feel the spirit here.  I’m always smiling.  Even these past few days when I was super sick and just wanted to sleep.  I was still happy.  I’m just thankful for these free water bottles they gave us cuz that's surely been helping my throat.  

So today we went to the temple and since I forgot my temple recommend we had to have the branch president talk to the people inside.  It worked out so I was able to go. But when we got inside me and my companera (companion) were late for the session so all the other missionaries went to the session and we just did initiatories, again don't know how to spell.  It was way way way good!!! Then we just met the others in the celestial room so everything worked out wonderful :)

So I found out what’s inside those big marsh mellow things in the MTC were...they are big gyms where we play volleyball and basketball.  It’s my favorite part of the gym.  Totally clears my head.  The days are super long here I feel.  I guess that’s life as a missionary.  But at the end of the day I'm like.. What the? Where did the time go?  

Oh so my temple recommend is in my old wallet, the black one..in one of the pockets where the cards are. Sorry you are going to have to look for it.  I hope everyone’s okay?  How are you all doing? What’s new? I wanna know!!!! I love you all so so much and I'm so happy to be here.  I'm so grateful all my family has done for me! I'm truly blessed with a wonderful family who loves me and supports me.  I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!!

Yo se que la iglesia es verdadera
yo se que el libro de mormon es la palabra de dios
Estoy muy agredecida para mi familia y yo se que mi family es eternidad
Tengo amor para mi padre y celestial y yo se que el es mi padre celestial
En el nombre de jesu cristo amen.

(Google Translation)

I know the church is true.  I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  I am very appreciative for my family and I know my family is forever.  I love my Heavenly Father and I know he is my Heavenly Father.  In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
