hi.
"You sound terrible," is what Hna busch said to me last night during a cita. Then at our next cita at 8:30 pm, she said, "You look terrible." Sad huh? So I thought I was getting a little better...and then it's like I got sick again. I hope this week I don't lose my voice. That'd be lame. So, I sound and look terrible. Well, press forward Saints right? I'm doing my best, but being sick sure can take a toll on you.
This week we had Mormon Helping Hands. I've never done it in CO...maybe they don't have it who knows. Anyway, we went to clean garbage out of L.A. river. Ummmm yeah, there were grocery carts, dumpsters, mattresses, tooonnnssss of plastic bags, and just so much garbage. We were so tired after the service project...plus I couldn't breath the whole time. ha. Either way, it was really neat to do a service project with SO many people. Spiritually it felt good to help clean this earth that God created for us. It truly is a beautiful place if you stop for a second in our busy lives and look around. :-)
We had President's interviews also. My first and my last with him because we will be getting our new mission president. It prayed that I would have a spiritual experience, and I did. It was simply wonderful to get to talk to someone so humble and full of the spirit. I love how you CAN feel the spirit other people have. The love I felt was what I needed. During our talk one thing he said to me was that I made the right choice in coming on my mission because the seat where I was sitting was filled, and if I hadn't come, it would be empty. I hadn't said anything about my choice on coming on my mission, but he felt the need to tell me that I was needed here. He said I have been doing good work and was happy with me. He helped me a lot by simply reading one scripture to me. I am grateful that President Martin knows his scriptures and was able to comfort me according to my needs. The interview was a spiritual experience and I will forever be grateful and remember it.
Well, today is transfers and guess what?!?! Yep, I was right, I'm staying. My new comp Hna Erikson (she was the girl in the hiking foto with with blonde hair...), will be coming this afternoon. She is going home after this transfer though...which means I will be here another transfer. That will make 4 transfers (1 transfer=6 weeks) on bike. Oh boy. It's going to be...interesting to say the least. I met Hna Erikson the first day and I've gotten to know her a bit. She is very loving, and has a strong personality...so I'm going to learn what I can. Here comes the next 6 weeks.
Guess who had to give a talk yesterday?!?!?!?! You'll never guess...oh wait, I DID! jajaja crazy. ahhhhhh is what went through my mind, but I wrote it out and I gave it, just like that. Bam. Okay well I prayed my heart out and God heard me. When I started speaking, there was this sense of peace that just came over my whole body. I was not shaky or anything. Can you believe that? The spirit helped me so much to get through such a nerve racking thing for me. Also, I'm back to playing piano every sunday...that means 8 times...haha and sometimes I make it up and no one knows...becausae we sing like the same 15 songs. haha
Work. It is going well. One of the hardest things is that people are NOT married. That makes me think about my future children and hope I hope so bad that they marry once, and have children...with their husband. We teach people that have 3 different kids from different fathers. It's just something I need to teach my children and hopefully it all goes well :-)
Okie Dokie I have to go. I hope everything is going well!!
Mosiah 2:41 love.
I love you all. Be happy. Slow down.
Love Hna Argüello
