Rains came down and the floods came up!











HOLA FAMILIA!!!

Holy smokes this week has been crazyyy and FULL of rain and floods and more rain and more floods!!!Ok everybody sing altogether now.  The rains came down and the floods came up.......

Saturday we got a call from a member in Rincon telling us to NOT come to work today and we´re like whatever. We´ll just work through the floods. How bad can it be? HAHA so we get there and it is PAST our knees. And it was raining and we look at each other and just started laughing. ;)  We could laugh or drown, we chose laugh.

Sunday we were like SI O SI we have to go pick up our investigators and go to church. YAAA that didnt happen!! We  had 9 people at church yesterday!! THE FLOODS were crazy! 
People were traveling in boats in the streets! ahahaa.
SO we walked/swimmed to our area and THE WATER WAS SO DIRTY. haha you dont even wanna know. AND THEN WE DROPPED OUR PHONE in the water AND THEN I FELL IN THIS LITTLE/BIG HOLE IN THE ROAD.

But it was so special. As we were walking all of the people were looking out of their windows waving to us and saying HERMANAS!! HERMANAS!! And I just felt so darn happy. Even though I was freezing cold in the pouring rain walking in a river. I FELT SO HAPPY. I felt sooooo proud to be a missionary. Everyone knows who we are. When no one is willing to walk the streets the missionaries WANT to be in the streets asking everyone if they need help.  We wanted to be out and about and we wanted to help everyone we could find.   Everyone could see that we werent gonna stay home, we were gonna find people.We talked to everyone. Even though they didnt want anything.. I went to bed happy those two nights. I felt like I was really searching for people who needed anything we could offer.  God has taught me in the mission of buenos aires norte that things arent always gonna go my way.. but if i just go with it and TRUST in Gods will, things will work out and the miracles WILL COME!!

Ive made a personal goal to talk to as many people as I can in a day. I feel like this is something that Im not afraid to do and I so enjoy meeting new people. so I´ve started opening my mouth and now its getting embarassing cause I  TALK TO EVERYONE IN THE STREET. haha it just brings me so much joy to spread the gospel. even if they reject us, at least we helped them feel the spirit and a little bit of love from our Heavenly Father. :)

well pray for Tigre and all the homes that have been ruined from this flood!! love you all!!

CHAU! CARRY ON CARRY ON CARRY ON!!!!
