Wow what a week! - May 12

Wow this week has been so different but great!! Lets just say that working in the city is a lot different!! Haha it is a good thing that I love my comp, the ward is AMAZING!!! And that Salta is super pretty because if not.. wow this could be really hard!!! The work here really is just so different!! But so great!! Right now we don't have any investigators but are looking in every way possible!!! We have a couple people of part member families that we are working with and there is a TON of less actives to work with! But really the work is great just very different!! It is different to knock on the door and all you say is "somos" (we) and the door is slammed in your face... but hey it is the life a a missionary!!! But really all is well!! I love working here!!! The members are SO GREAT!! Haha which is amazing our bishop is super great and will to work! And the best part of all is that our mission leader is incredible!! He was just released as president of the stake so he is willing to work and put everything into the work!! We ALWAYS have a member with us! And we don't even need to look and call them they call us!! Haha it is super nice!! The area is something super different it is super small (well for our mission) it is only like one city! Really I have learned so much this week! The thing that I have learned most is how much I LOVE the Book of Mormon! Really I thought I had a testimony of it before... but wow how things have changed now! Really I love it so much!! I was always reading in English because sometimes it is really hard for me to understand in English but I chose the other day to put President Hinckley's promise in action and I started reading only in Spanish... and my whole life has changed.. Haha I can understand it almost perfect and it is actually better because I have to really read it to understand!! And it really has changed to way that I study so much!! I am so excited every morning to wake up and read more and more!! Haha!! I am in Helamen and I am just so excited to get to 3 nefi!! haha (nephi) yes I kind of know how to spell... that is how it is spelled in spanish!!) I hope that you all are reading your Preach My Gospel books like Elder Ballard said!!!! If not get to it! It is a wonderful book inspired by God!!! My comp. is GREAT!!! We get along so well! Haha I am excited everyday to work with her! She is a great missionary and such a fun person! So easy to get along with!! She is from Mexico! Another Latina! Haha I am going for the whole mission Latina style!!! She has just under one year in the mission! And had opened every area that she has been in! Poor girl! It is hard to open up areas!! But really we can see the hand of the Lord! Now that I think about it I also have opened both areas as the first sisters ever! Everyone in the streets calls us elders sometimes elderas! Haha it is funny and none of the members what to saludarnos,, (the people here kiss one the cheek to say hello) and they all just give us there hands because they are used to the elders!!! But really I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for us here!! It should be great! And super fun!! An adventure for sure!!! But all is well here in Salta!! This week we have conferencia con presidente!!! Should be great!! Oh also I don't know if you all remember I think not - But I was with a sister all of my time in Perico she was living with us hna musmano!! We entered the same day in the mission but now we are in the same district haha our whole missions together!! Haha but I love her!! And also my Mommy hna pari is in our zone!! Haha last week when I got to Salta she was in the terminal and we both started crying when we saw each other!! Haha I miss that lady!! She was a wonderful mission mom!! Well I hope all is well for everyone of you!! And that you all had a great mothers day!! I will talk with you all soon!! And thanks for all that you do for me!! le quiero mucho!!!
