This week has been so slow.. for here haha we still had like 25 lessons! We teach a lot but not a lot of progress with our investigators so that is super hard! My family really wants to know about my day to day life so that is what we are getting this week because the work was slow! They have siesta here so we get to wake up at 7 which is really nice! We have our personal time in the morning until 8:30 and then it is personal study! My favorite time I am able to learn so much in that time! After we have idioma study! Which is nice for me! Haha I need to get this language down! After we are off to work! Which is nice I really love working when we are teaching I feel so great because the spirit helps so much! Really I have never just had to lean on the spirit but that is all that I have right now so I just need to work so hard at the strength and power of that! At 1:00 we have lunch with a member! They don't eat dinner here! So we just have a huge lunch I like it a lot better, because I was never hungry at home during dinner anyways! 2;00-4;00 is more study with my comp. and then training! A lot of practice! But it is nice! 4:00-9:30 we work! Haha and i mean work! We don't have a minute to spare! We walk about 8 miles a day! Haha a lot of walking! But it is nice! Tuesday mornings we have district meeting! My district is just the 3 others sisters with me and then 2 elders! But I really love our leaders, they are great, I learn so much from them every week! I am getting to the point when I can usually know what is being talked about which is amazing, I am able to always say my testimony and they usually understand! Haha the joys of learning a new language! I love my mission president and his wife! They are truly called of God! This week I have struggled a little bit, so during zone conference I asked my mission president for a blessing! It is amazing how much the priesthood helps.. honestly i didn't even understand like any of the blessing but the power has helped me so much this week! I am so grateful for the priesthood right now because it gives me strength everyday!
The other hermanas that live with us are great! one is from Idaho the other is from Agrentina! They are great and it is nice to have another ¨blanca¨ here! aha! My comp. Hermana pari is great! She is willing to work with me and helps me so much, also she pushes me and makes me speak in the lessons which is nice! She is great I love my mission mom! We live in the city of Perico, it is about 2 hours away from Salta! It is a great bigish town! We live in the city but in the other Hermana area so we have to walk like 15 minutes to our area! But is good! It is pretty hot here.. I have a world class farmers tan! Haha it is amazing- really I am super proud of it! All the memebers say that I am so white and then I show them my tan line and they are surprised that I could be more white! It is really funny! It rains about 2 times a week here! But it is nice, not super humid, a lot like Utah! The Bishop is great! He is only 28 years old! It is crazy but he is a great leader and is always more than willing to help! His little sister is the young women's pres. and she is only 19! She is amazing she goes on visits with us about 4 times a week for the whole day! The members here are really amazing they want everyone here to know what we know and love to work with us as much as they can! Great moment this week.. a dog peed on my backpack.. also I saw a dog just like Chloe like just like her! And she sounded the same and everything.. and I cried.. only for a second but I did. During one of our lessons I made our investigator cry because she felt the spirit.. and I don't know/remember what I said! Our apartment is pretty nice! Different but good I get to wash my clothes by hand... haha it is super fun! I usually do my colors in the machine and then my whites by hand. It is very humbling! Oh and they have fry sauce! Haha it was such a funny thing when I first saw it! It is a little different but that is what it is! The work is great! Really it is a roller-coaster but I love it. Each day is a new adventure and I learn a little more each day! I am so thankful for the support aquí with the members they really are amazing! I am thankful for them each and everyday! Thank you all so much for the support! Thank you for the examples that you are in my life you are all amazing! If you have time this week read the talk by Elder Ballard from this last conference! It is amazing and has helped me so much! Remember every member is a missionary! Don't be afraid to open your mouth! 2 nephi 32 2-5 angels speak by the power of the holy ghost! We all have the holy ghost with us! Now let him out and share this wonderful message! I love you all so much! Talk to you soon!
Hermana Griffiths!
