Happy JUNE!

Hola Familia,

Can you believe it's June already?! I can't...where did the time go?! I swear we JUST celebrated Christmas and New Years. Welp...I realized this week that Matthew's graduation means that it's SUMMER. You're officially out of school...well I guess that only applies to Kimberly and Matthew. Em and Craig have a couple weeks to go still:) Haha. I hope you enjoyed Matthew's graduation! Going through the temple will be awesome! I wish I was gonna be there! Soo cool.

I'm glad you got my letters! I hope you enjoyed them:) I tried to make them all about the same length...I kind of anticipated that someone would think I loved them more because I wrote them a longer letter. Haha...I had a good time writing you all. It makes me happy...but it takes AGES. I wrote letters every night for two weeks straight in my spare time...a few lines here a few lines there...haha. Missionaries are busy people..who knew!

Welp...this week was a good one. Well...it started out bad. Last week while playing futbol Elder Tarwater kicked the ball right into my face. What a punk. It wasn't a hard kick and it didn't hurt so it was all good...but he didn't need to know that. I gave him a hard time about it and made him feel a little bit bad and then forgave him. Mostly because he started singing that song...is it Phil Collins that sings "What do I gotta do to make you love me?" I don't remember...but it was hilarious. Hahaha. From there things went uphill. We had an awesome district meeting on Tuesday. My district leader is Elder Spackman from Provo. He's such a hard worker and a great leader. He was in the MTC with me so we have the same time in the mission. I love love love district meetings:) We have another one tomorrow. My companion and I have to teach about the christlike attributes charity and love from preach my gospel. It should be good.

This week I gave myself another haircut. My hair is getting blonder...people say it's the water...but I'm not cool with it. Pray for me, people. I dont' want to be bloooonde. This week was super cold...with lots of rain in the mornings and fog at night. The other day we could hardly see a thing! It gets dark here at about 5:20PM and the sun comes up at about 9:35AM. It's crazy! The people tell us the shortest day the sun will go down just before 5:00 and come up a little after 10:00. Sometimes during studies I feel like it's the middle of the night cause when we look out the window it's pitch black!

This week on Friday morning we had to wake up early and be at the migrations office (20 minute walk from the pension) at 8:30. We got there and had to wait for the Elders...like always. Hermana Garavito walked across the street to go look at the beach. When the Elders finally showed up we waited outside while they talked with the people inside...the good news?! I have a DNI! In other words...until the end of my mission I'm legal!! The bad news..the card is in Comodoro. It's basically like a drivers license. If anyone tries to kick me out of the country or when I have to cross the border all I have to do is show my card that says I'm a legal resident of argentina. It only took 9 months to get it! haha:) But the zone leaders travel to comodoro this week I think so they'll bring it back with them.

OH. My pension is haunted. The other night I woke up in the middle of the night and a light in the kitchen that doesn't work was on. That light has never every worked in the three months I've been here. Sketchy. Anyway...I rolled over and kept sleeping with my face to the wall. I was not down to get out of bed...haha. In the morning it was still on...my companion and I were both super confused and freaked out. It took us 20 minutes and a prayer to build up the courage to leave the bedroom and check it out. We turned off the light and then tried turning it back on...nothing. The light doesn't work. How it turned on in the  middle of the night I have no idea. FREAKY.

Sooo....on Friday night we were in charge of a branch activity. You all know that I'm not a creative person...my companion isn't either...and unfortunately the Elders are even worse at coming up with ideas than we are. Luckily we have an hermana in the ward who is AWESOME and helped us out. We ended up playing pictionary. Both the Elders and us had investigators there and several branch members showed up. It was actually a lot of fun:) My team definitely won! Yahoooo:) We had lunch on Saturday with Maria and Marcelo...wanna know what we ate?! LASAGNA. Life made. It's been waaayyyy too long. Hahaha.. well...I think that's it for the week. 20 minutes outside of the city rio grande (at Cabo Domingo) there's snow...I don't think it will make it to where we are though...apparently it hasn't in a few years...I'm not sure why...but I'm not complaining either:)

Welp...I hope ya'll have an awesome week! I love you and I think about you every single day! You're always in my thoughts and prayers!  The church is true people. I have no doubt. The gospel truly does make us better people. Every day in the mission I see people come closer to Christ and change a little bit for the better...they don't all choose to get baptized...but as they grow closer to Him, I get to see the changes and the light start to appear in their lives. What a blessing!! :) I think it's Alma 26 in the first couple of verses that talks about the biggest blessing God gives us is that we can be instruments in his hands. There couldn't be anything more true!

I love youu!

Happy Graduation Bud!! :)

Hola Familia!

I only skimmed your emails...I'll print them off later. Thanks for always sending me long ones mom...I like hearing about everything going on at home! It makes me feel like I'm still part of the family even though I'm so far away...haha.

Matthew's graduating this week?! No way...that's soo crazy. That'll be a cool day. So you got stuck with the late schedule too, huh bud? Pucha. That's alright. I'm glad you had a good time at lagoon and I hope you have a fun time at the senior all-nighter! That's so crazy...so when are you gonna go to the temple? Do you know yet?! I'm assuming really soon...the only requirements are that you have your call and that you're graduated! That's awesome! I miss the temple...enjoy it lots for meeee:)

So...for starters...last week for p-day we sat in the chapel all day long not doing anything because the zone leaders forgot the futbol in their pension. We made two groups...the english speakers and the latinos and we just chilled all day long. We did do the bread contest but didn't end up picking a winner because they were both really good. Elder Tarwater made some extra and gave it to us and thanked us for giving them lunch one day of the week that they didn't have it. It was super nice of him...homemade bread is the BEST! Anyway...we were in a trio until Wednesday when Hermana Kuhn arrived! I was soo happy to see her! When we were in Trelew together we saw each other occasionally but we weren't in the same zone. She's the sister training leader down here now so we're gonna get to do divisions! yahooo! :) It's gonna be a blast!! Elder Elliz left on Tuesday which was really sad. He's only got 4 transfers left in the mission. Pucha.

Welp...I did see that Sister McAllister got my letters sent! That makes me soo happy. I've decided that I'll start sending letters home with the missionaries that go back to their home. It's too complicated to send them from Argentina. The missionaries don't seem to mind either with is good:) I hope it all gets there in one piece...there should be a letter for each of you inside!!

The zone conference/interviews on Friday were awesome! We were in the church for 10 and a half hours! What?! Talk about a long day....we had training and interviews until about 4:00PM and then we had to clean the upstairs of the chapel for the district conference and set up a bunch of chairs. With 15 missionaries plus President Rogers and Hermana Rogers it took about an hour...then the Elders and us had a meeting with our branch mission leader. We ended up leaving the chapel at about 6:45PM. Crazyyy. But it was an awesome day! Best news of the weekend?! Tierra del Fuego has enough members and priesthood holders to build a stake! Yahoo! We have to combine Rio Grande with Ushuaia...but from there the goal is to one day have two stakes down here. We're super excited and the members are too. President Rogers is hoping to put the request in THIS YEAR! We only need 24 more full tithe payers...and they're there...they're active...we just need them to pay their tithing. yahoooo! :)

Ooooh...wanna hear an awful story? This week we didn't have water in our pension for two days because all the drains were clogged. So...for two days I didn't get to shower...then one of those days a lady slipped and fell in a bunch of mud. I was helping her get up and got all muddy in the process...so luckily our landlady was able to call someone thursday night to come fix it because the guys that were supposed to come never did...if not we would have had to go to interviews covered in mud and with our hair all wacko. Hermana Heath is not cool with being dirty...I'm so thankful for my shower. You have no idea.

Hey...yesterday I got to talk with Hermana Hundley very briefly. Elder Hernandez...one of President's assistants said he talked with her last night and I was like what?! and then he was like well I can call her right now and you can talk to her for a sec if you want and I was like PLEEEEEASE and so he did and then we got to talk:) It made me soooo happy! She's doing well...but things are hard. The mission is just hard. Haha...we've got our future figured out though. She told me she's convinced we're gonna be companions again...I agreed and she said we're probably gonna be zone leaders in ushuaia together next transfer. I told her though that Ushuaia is really cold and there's snow so we decided we'll probably go to Puerto Madryn instead. All that's left to do now is inform President Rogers...but I can't imagine that he would have a problem with it. Transfers are only five weeks away...hahahha. I looooved talking with her. BEST COMPANION EVER. Haha:)

Everyone here in Argentina is getting ready for the mundial. It's preetty cool..but no one is gonna let us into their houses. When an Elder asked President Rogers what we were gonna do for the mundial he said, "Well...I don't want you to be disobedient...so i'm thinking." Hahhaa...the assistants asked us to get them a calendar of the world cup with all the games and times since they give them out in every kiosk for free...they each already had one so we were super confused until last when night they gave it to President Rogers to remind him that it's getting closer. Sooo funny. Haha...we'll see what happens! :)

Well...I hope you have a fantastic week! I wish you the very best with everything going on! I love you all and I pray for you every single day! Hermana Rogers talked about prayer a lot in the conference and the blessing that it is. It's true:) Heavenly Father loves us soo much that he's willing to listen to us at anytime of the day! 

Hugs and kisses from the bottom of the world!

TRANSFERS!

Hola Queridos,

I'm glad to hear that Matthew had a nice birthday...props Em on the birthday cake. I expect one that's very similar when I get home:) Hahaha...for reals. Kimberly has an iphone? Haha...ya'll are going soft. I hope morp was fun... I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that Kimberly is old enough to go on dates. That's messed up. And shoutout to the fainting goats! Sounds like the games are really fun. I wish I could be there to cheer! But it seems like you're cheering loud enough for me too!

This week was super super long...but I almost have nothing to tell. It was a really boring week with very little variation to the typical day as a missionary. Last week the zone leaders gave us zone t-shirts. They're pretty cool. We took a picture and everything..but then we were playing soccer outside and Elder Galindo (my zone leader) hit me right in the stomach with the muddy ball. The bad news is that I'm pretty sure the mud stain will never come out..the good news? It looks kind of cool with a perfect ball print. Jaja.

Every morning here is soo cold. We wake up to frost on the ground and lots of ice. My companion doesn't know how to walk on ice and almost falls about every 30 seconds or so. I try not to laugh...but sometimes I just can't help it. It's too funny. As long as she doesn't get hurt I don't feel too bad about snickering as we walk down the street. It's been really cold this week because it snowed in Ushuaia and Tolhuin. I think they got like 5 inches. I'm so glad I'm not there right now. Haha. It's really pretty...but I'm not sure it's worth it...although they say it's colder in Rio Grande than Ushuaia.

This week the Elders of Austral had the baptism of a little 9 year old boy. His parents aren't members, but his older brothers are and they go to church every week. His name is Eury. He's sooo cute. He's a little black boy. Such a stud. He was super excited. Elder Lamb baptized him and I got to lead the music...last minute planning on the Elders part. Haha. After the baptism the zone leaders gathered us all up and they told us the transfers. Only four missionaries from the zone left. I'm super excited to be here another transfer in Rio Grande. Hermana Garavito is too I think. And wanna know who's coming to take Hermana Carter's spot?! HERMANA KUHN!! YES!! She's gonna be the leader of the hermanas so I get to do divisions with her! That's gonna be the best day EVER! Haha. Oh, and Elder Elliz is going to Rio Gallegos. Pucha.

Today we're gonna have a bread contest. Elder Tarwater and Hermana Salazar both made bread last night. My companion and I are gonna be the judges. I'm super excited! :) Then we're making grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Argentines don't appreciate the concept of kid food. They just look at us like, "your mother actually fed you that when you were a kid?" They're all crazy. CRAZY I tell you.

This week we found a new investigator. Her name is Alicia. She was standing outside one day taking a smoke when we found her. Her huge garden called my attention. She had some roses that were really big and reminded me of the roses grandma always had out front...so I told her and that's how we started talking. I'm not sure if she's interested more in having a gringa friend or learning about God..but we'll see:) Haha. She's super nice though.

Welp...that's all I can come up with for the week. Hopefully next week is a little more exciting. Actually I'll have more to tell you cause President and Hermana Rogers are gonna be here from Friday until Sunday! We have interviews on Friday and then the District Conference of Rio Grande on saturday and sunday. I'm super excited!! :) Have a fantastic week! I love you all sooo much and I miss you every day! Remember to read your scriptures and pray! Besossss.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY BUD!!

Heyyyy,

Well...I really really enjoyed talking to everyone yesterday..the problem though now is that I don't have anything to say. This will probably be a short email. Haha.

First off, Matthew...I hope you have the BEST birthday EVER! You are such a stud and I love you sooo much! I hope you have a fantastic week and a super special day! I'll be thinking about ya!!

So...last week I saw an Hermano from Rawson! Domingo Gonzalez. He and his wife are from Rio Grande and have all of their kids and grandkids living here. They're down here for about a month before they leave on a mission...I haven't heard where yet. It was sooo fun to see him, and he was pretty happy to see me too. He lived in my area and we ate lunch with him and his wife on several occasions. Such a great family. It made me soo happy to see him and a little bit trunky for Rawson!

This last week we were a trio while Hermana Carter went to Comodoro. Hermana Salazar spent 3 days with us. It was soo fun. I love her and we get along really well. It was fun. One night we played Uno, that brick game where you have to pull one out and stack it on top, and then we just talked for a while...until like midnight I think. Whoopsies. Haha...President and Hermana Rogers know that all the Hermanas stay up late when we're together...and he says "as long as you still get out of bed at 6:30..." haha...I love him. Since it's only once a month he doesn't care.

I'm out of stories. Maybe I'll tell you about some investigators. Faviana was supposed to get baptized this Saturday, but didn't come to church. She just moved last week to chacra so we couldn't go pick her up in the morning. Pucha. We were really bumbed about that yesterday. Her sister-in-law Analia wants to get baptized as well and would have gotten baptized this Saturday with Favi if she was married. Her husband wants to wait another year...even though they've already been together 10. Crazy Argentines. We also have Fatima who we visit once a week now. She's from Paraguay. She has all the lessons, she's in Alma in her Book of Mormon reading, and was going to church every week before her job got in the way...she wants to get baptized but her husband...errr her partner doesn't want to get married. She's got a four year old son that's sooo cute. His name is Ryan. Then we have Raul. His wife is a Jehovah's Witness. He wants to come to church and get baptized but is scared of causing problems with his wife. Awesome. 

Welll...I've gotta go. Hopefully I'll have something more interesting to write about the next week. Haha. I love you all! Have a fantastic week and keep sharing the gospel and helping to accelerate this amazing work! Don't forget to say your prayers! Until next time...

Chau chau

Happy Birthday KIMBERLY!! :)

Hola Familia,

Before I say anything else...we all just need to take a minute to soak in the fact that tomorrow Kimberly is gonna turn 16 YEARS OLD. How in the world did that happen? I'm pretty sure I thought I was the only one growing up because last time I checked Kimmie was 14 years old. Well Kimmers...have a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH:) I hope you have the best day EVER! :)

Second shoutout goes to the MVP of the Fainting Goats...the one and only CRAIGMEISTER!! Good job for scoring a goal in your game! Yahooo!! Wish I could be there to cheer at the games but at the same time I have no doubt that mom cheers loud enough for the both of us...haha. Congrats, bro.

Alright. So, starting from Monday. P-day was sooo much fun. Elder Tarwater and Elder Lamb made french toast. Delicious. Matthew....I'm telling you...stateside missions are the way to go. Just think of all the french toast you'll get to eat. Tender mercies of the Lord, bro. I miss breakfast foods! Everyone here thinks that WE'RE the crazy ones for eating breakfast...don't they know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Crazies. Then we played futbol. In the morning it rained, so the court we play on was a little bit wet...but we just swept off some of the water and called it good. The Hermanas were boring last week and didn't want to play so it was just me with the Elders. It was a blast and a half while the Hermanas "chatted" from the sidelines.

Here's a trivia question...how many continents are there? I'll let you think about that for a minute. We had a huge friendly argument on Tuesday with the missionaries trying to decide. Well...the answer is 7. North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Antarctica, and Austrailia. SEVEN. All the north american missionaries agreed on seven. All the latinos said there's only 5. Internet says 7, but according to the latinos, "that's not a reliable source." You're starting to see aren't you why I keep telling you that Argentines are CRAZY?! Actually it could just be latinos in general...

Ohh...the other day there was an earthquake!! It was soo cool. My companion and I were sitting in our pension eating lunch...and suddenly there was this big grumbly sound and our pension SHOOK. We just looked at each other like, "che, did you just feel that?" It was super weird. Haha...we went back to eating our lunch tranquila.

On Wednesday afternoon we traveled to Ushuaia. 3 hours on the bus...three really long hours. The roads are sooo curvy and to make it worse...we spent the first hour and a half of the bus ride sitting in a circle playing uno. It was a really bad idea. First of all...uno is a great game...but it gets old really fast. Anyway...the last hour of the ride Elder Tarwater, Elder Lamb, and I were betting on who was gonna throw up first...so gross. Worst headache ever.  We finally got there and went to the Hermana's pension for the night. We slept of the floor in the kitchen.

On Thursday we had the conference with Elder Gonzalez. It was awesome. Hermana Rogers talked and at the end bore her testimony in Spanish which made me cry. I love her. Then President Rogers talked about pray...which made me cry. Why am I crying so much? The mission does weird things to you... anyway..then Elder Gonzalez and Sister Gonzalez talked. It was an awesome conference. In the afternoon after the conference we went to the famous sign "Ushuaia: Fin del Mundo" and then we did divisions with the Hermanas. Ushuaia is sooo pretty. It's all hills and mountains and prettiness. It's a cute little town with wooden cabin houses...and it actually wasn't that cold...the sun was shinning...and reflecting off the snow in the mountains it was really bright. It was a really good day:)

At 4:30AM Friday morning we had to be in the terminal in Ushuaia. Our colectivo left at 5:00AM. It was another really long three hours. Of course...everyone else was sleeping...but I couldn't. Plus...the bus was freezing and I gave my coat to my companion since she was really cold...I hate being a nice person. Anyway...I didn't get to sleep until 10:30 that night...that was like 19 hours awake...which doesn't seem that bad...but it felt like an eternity. Saturday was worse. Haha:)

Well...I hope you all have a great week! I love you all sooo much:) Thanks for your prayers and support! I had a really cool experience this week with prayer. I KNOW that God listens to and answers prayers. We are soo blessed.

I love you and I'm super excited to skype with ya'll next week!! :)

Chau chauuu!
Hermana Heath

I miss the mountains!! :)

Jehovah's Witnesses and Police Officers...

Hola queridos,

Thanks for the emails! It's been a good week in Rio Grande! I love it here. So...last week...gotta do some catching up...Kimberly's going to prom, eh? Cool beans. Make sure to send me pictures! :) And Matthew...decisions decisions...which of the many fair maidens will take him to the ball?

Alright...so first off...mom asked about Mother's Day. I'm just gonna be completely honest and say that I forgot because it's true. The problem is that Mother's Day in Argentina is in October...so no one is talking about it and the time goes by so quickly half the time I still think we're in February. They haven't told us anything about how that's gonna work...but I assume we'll have to skype from a members house since we can't come to the ciber on Sundays...we'll see. I'll let you know next week!

This week we're going to be traveling to Ushuaia on Wednesday at 5:00PM...all day Thursday we'll be in the conference with Elder Gonzalez and then we'll probably get to go see something that evening. Friday morning at 5:00AM we'll be back on the bus coming home...errr back to Rio Grande that is. Haha. It's only three hours though on colectivo so it's not too bad. I'm super excited though! Apparently there's snow...:) All the cold weather puts me in the Christmas mood though. I find myself singing Christmas songs in the streets as we walk. Weird.

Well...this week we had lots of run ins with Jehova's witnesses. I have all the latest pamphlets. There are so many here and they're not usually very nice. I'm not their biggest fan. All they want to do is Bible bash...and they're really good at it...the funny thing is they tell us we need to work on our door approach or people aren't gonna like us...when we knock doors, we always introduce ourselves and talk a little bit...offer service...and then ask if we can share a message the blesses families and centers on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Clearly we've been doing it wrong...shoving a million scriptures in someone's face and telling them they're going to hell is the way to do it. Duhh.

Ooooh funny story...the other day Elder Elliz called me to practice his English..."Seester...yur late." "You come to duh chursh" "I hab duh books orv merrrmons." Listening to latinos try to speak English never gets old, che. Anyway...Hermana Garavito and I went to the church to pick up our little blue books of mormon. Elder Elliz was talking to Elder Verges on the phone! (the new mission secretary..hahha) Anyway, I got to talk to him for a little bit. He's doing really well and talked with Hermana Hundley just the other day since he has to do visa paperwork with her companion. She's doing really well which made me happy to hear:) Hermana Hundley, Elder Ramos, Elder Scogin, and Elder Verges are all gonna be in Comodoro this week for the conference with Elder Gonzalez...forget Ushuaia...send me to Comodoro! It's gonna be an awesome reunion. That district in Rawson was the best ever...and then there's Elder Ramos who was our zone leader. Jaja.

The members here in Rio Grande aren't super motivated to work with us...which shows in the lunches.  We have lunch with members every Tuesday and Thursday....wanna know when the Elders have lunch? Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday...and two Sundays...how does this happen? Don't these people know that the Hermana's are wayyy better? Plus we eat less! Who knows. Elder Tarwater has a good time teasing us about it though..."Today we eat with Hermana Meretta...I love how she always makes milanesa...oh wait...you've never eaten with her have you?" "Oh, today we eat with the Familia Barria...when do you eat with them next? Oh...you never eat with them...well this is awkward" The kid reminds me so much of Matthew it's ridiculous. That's a good thing though...usually:) Haha...today though the Elders are making us french toast. Should be yummy. You can never be sure though with the Elders.

Oh...another story...this week the police stopped Hermana Garavito and me! We were walking doing some contacts and I noticed two police officers. One said something to the other and then they started walking towards us...I was freaked out and ready to pretend that I don't speak any Spanish (just like I always do when I'm in a bad situation like when I don't have my ticket on the bus...just stare say, "EspaƱol no. English." They just look at you, roll their eyes, and continue on the next person. It's the best ever!) Anyway, the police officers stopped us and asked us if we were overage...errr...of age? I don't remember how we say that...anyway we said yes, and then they asked our nationality...I really didn't want to answer that question because lots of people here don't like Americans since they associate us with Great Britain and the whole thing with the Galapagos Islands that now belong to Great Britaint but were once Argentina's...anyway it's a sensitive subject here especially in the south since the islands are right off the coast. Well...turns out they were looking for Argentine witnesses...who knows for what. But we dodged a bullet there. It scared me half to death.

Well...I gotta finish up. Have a fantastic week! I love you all! Thanks for all the prayers espeically in this last week! We're seeing lots of miracles as a mission:) Don't forget to read your scriptures! Also...what time do you have church so I can arrange for when we talk in a couple of weeks!

I love you sooo much!!
Chau chau!

Hermana Heath

This, my dear friends, is what happens when it rains in Rio Grande.

Argentine sunsets:) Right from my front door!

ELDER HEATH?!?!

Querida Familia,

OH MY GOSH MATTHEW IS GOING ON A MISSION TO HOUSTON TEXAS! HE'S GONNA BE SPEAKING SPANISH! OH MY GOSH I'M FREAKING OUT HERE FREAKING OUT!! THAT'S SOOO EXCITING!! I'm honestly sooo excited to serve in the mission field with you, bud. You're gonna be the best companion EVER! :) Start studying now:) Sometime soon I'll send you a list of things to buy that would have been nice to know beforehand:) Congratulations Matthew! Wahooo for missionaries! :):):)

So, I hope ya'll had a Happy Easter! The Easter bunny got lost on his way to Rio Grande this year....Santa Claus didn't get my letter with my new address in time for Christmas...I sure hope I don't lose a tooth cause I'm guessing the tooth fairy doesn't work for Argentina. Puuucha. That's okay, one of the hermanas in the ward made us some bread and several other members gave us chocolate eggs...which in argentina are a total rip off because they're HOLLOW. Not complaining though. Haha:)

This week has been really cold. One morning it was -7 degrees Celsius when we left our apartment. That's like 20ish degrees Farenheit if I did the math right. I've been doing my studies in my sleeping bag at my desk. It's quite an effective way to stay warm. It's a real problem though when I have to get up for something...I generally end up hoping around the pension like a penguin. Good times. 

The Elder from the seventy that was supposed to come for a tour of the mission cancelled at the last minute so we didn't get to go to Ushuaia but this week we will or next week..I'm not sure on the schedule. I'm super excited! :) The zone conference, (which is different from the interviews since you asked, mom) was awesome! We talked about obedience, contacting, dropping investigators and the atonement! Hermana Rogers gave us a really cool scripture chain about the last week of Christ's life. Also, the church made a 2 minute video for Easter this year. In Spanish it's called "Gracias a El" I assume in English it's something like "Thanks to him" but it's really cool! Ya'll should watch it!

So, I officially got my mission call one year ago...I think it came on April 17th if I remember right...at that time I was only dreaming of being in Argentina and Tierra del Fuego...crazy. Where did the year go? That also means that Emily and Craig are reaaal close to their one year mark. Wahooo! Congratulations Emily and Craig!! I love you both sooo much:)

I've got a lot to tell you but they're kicking us out of the internet cafe! I'll tell you more next week! :)

I love you all! Have a great weeek! :)

Hermana Heath
