To become like an Argentine child........

FAMILIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLA!!!!!!!!!! 

Hermana Marie Dorothy Terry. Proud to be a representative of THE TERRY FAMILY AND JESUS CHRIST. :) (the two names I represent on my name tag)

MAN THIS WEEK WAS CRAZAY!

CAN I GET A HOLLAAAAA FOR HOLLLLAND?!?!?!?!

 MY MAIN MAN JEFFERY R CAME TO SPEAK TO BUENOS AIRES!!! Ahhhh  amazing! Tears were shed. So many tears in fact, I passed out (SLEEP NOT ACTUALLY PASS OUT) after the meeting because the SPIRIT WAS SO STRONG.  I gotta tell you guys my favorite part. He gives the whole talk saying he came across the world to tell us one thing. His whole talk hes explaining, but never tells us what that one thing is---- until the end. And he says, ¨ITS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO, BUT WHAT YOU ARE INSIDE.¨ Honestamente:)... I needed to hear that. Sure, we hear that all the time.. but he spoke with the spirit and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I could seriously feel Gods love so strong in that moment telling me that there are people who need to hear that message FROM ME. :) AND OK I DONT HAVE THE LANGUAGE DOWN PERFECTLY ... But guess what? ITS OKAY. God knows me. God will make a way for every single one of his missionaries.  Holland also said that the most important thing to have as a missionary is TO HAVE A DEEP CONVERSION AND A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. That was music to my ears!  TRUTH! He said that missionaries do what he does. He called us APOSTLES! Cause we stand in as a witness. ITS AN HONOR to be a missionary. Truly an HONOR!!!

Que mas?? OH YES. Juan and his familia. So on Thursday around 6.. me and mi companera are EXHAUSTED and all of our investigators flaked out on us. I suggested we go to Juans house. So we walk ALL the way across town just to get to his house. We were both kinda cranky and tired, but when Cinita opened that door... I could feel the spirit so strong. We walked in and talked and talked and TALKED about our lives and how good of a mom she is. :) She wants to take ingles classes (OH YA FORGOT TO TELL YA.. IM THE ENGLISH TEACHER FOR OUR WARD. HILARIOUS. BEST THING EVER) and I was like.. QUE BUENO! Cause thats like the only thing I really say. HAHA. Anyways Juan walks in from work and HIS EYES ARE LITERALLY LIT UP. I've never seen that kind of light before. WoW. JUST WOW. After small talk he told us HES READY TO BE BAPTIZED!!!!!!! Hes been coming to church for the past 3 weeks and hes just soo ready for it. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT! We gave him a date but he wouldnt take it. GAHH so he wants to get baptized but we dunno when. Its gonna take longer for Cinita, but we aren't giving up on her. KIMBERLY, their daughter loooooves church. WHich brings me to my next story. :)

Church on Sunday was INCREDIBLE! Me and Hermana Quintana taught Primary!! But Kimberly was the only one who came! We first taught her the song, Yo se que me ama el Senor.  GREAT SONG! Our Primary sang it! Wayyy good. Anyways.. I felt her sweet spirit so strong when she was singing this song. I just knew in my heart that this sweet little girl will be baptized in no time. :) Despues, we asked her to give the prayer. SHE WAS VERRRRY hesitant to, because she has never really prayed before. But finally she decided to give the prayer. OH MY LAND this kid is amazing. Her prayer brought me to tears. It was the most heart felt prayer Ive ever heard. She asked in her prayer if she could feel God and his love, if she could be baptized and that her family could keep the commandments.  I was blown away by her faith. Kimberly is soo special. Even though shes only 8, she wants to know so much. She LOVES to learn just like her father. She gets excited when she learns new things, just like her father. After her prayer I decided that I was going to do everything I COULD to help this precious girl gets what she deserves. And that includes the blessings of the gospel for her and her family for ETERNITY. I gained a unique testimony that day. GOD WATCHES OVER EVERY ONE HIS CHILDREN. There's a reason why we need to become as child to enter the kingdom of God. She might even have more faith than JUAN! She is so pure and innocent and full of love. NOW I KNOW WHY Mom loves primary so much. Its because kids are so in tune with the spirit. 

 God is so good to me. He gives me soo many wonderful experiences here in Argentina. Im soooo thankful. Sooooooo thankful. 

EVERYONE ON THIS PLAÑET NEEDS TO HAVE A QUICINERA LIKE CARLITA IN ARGENTINA BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO PARTY. 

When Carlita walked in with her Dad, they played, ¨My heart will go on!!!¨ MY HEART wanted to beat out of my chest because her sweet father was in TEARS. Both of her parents couldn't face the fact that their baby was growing up! I WANTED TO BAWL  because that song has always been me and my dads song-teehee ;)  I have a lump in my throat just thinking about my sweet parents. I'm so grateful for all that you've done for me. Heavenly Father shows me MY OWN blessings through other people. He works in so many ways. It blows my mind. ;) Anyways... it was the best party ever. I got to be with great people and eat great food. :) Life is great in Argentina. :)

 Hope all is well and hope you guys have a great thanksgiving... whenever that is!  Lost track of American time ;)

Id like to close with the lyrics that have been running through my head all day, This little light of mine, arranged by the one and only Kathryn Little, ¨The light that shines is the light of love, it comes from a loving God above. It shines on me and shines on YOU. It shows you what the power of LOVE can do. Shine my light both FAR and NEAR shine my light both loud and clear.. IN EVERY DARK CORNER THAT I FIND (Trust me there are A LOT) LET MY LITTLE LIGHT SHINE AND SHINE!!!!! WE ALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF CHRIST IN US. NOW LETS LET IT SHINE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE. WORD!

I love love love love reading your emails! MOM, thank you for your sweet words. You said exactly what I needed to hear. Girrrlllll power. ;) And >IM printing off your email so I can use the ideas for primary!! 

Dad, Oh man thank you. :) THAT MAKES MY DAY to know that you talk about me during FHE. :) WOW! I love my parents. :)

This is Hermana Terry signing out.  Until next time, CARRY ON CARRY ON CARRY ON!
