Holaa!!

Holaa! 

This week was probably one of the longest weeks of my mission.. 

It started out with me getting a call on Monday from President. He had decided to make some changes due to a sister going home for knee problems. He decided to have my comp go take her place, and put me with another sister. Her name is Hermana Huaylla. She´s from Bolivia, and she finishes her mission in 2 weeks. So In 2 weeks I will be introducing you to my new comp again haha. She´s really great. Super funny, and we get along really well :)

Well I was sent to my bed for 3 days to rest my knee. They were probably the longest 3 days of my life. I wouldnt have minded if we were allowed to watch movies or something. I mean you can only watch the restoration so many times. After 3 days of doing nothing, we finally go to get out and work. 

We went to visit Alicia, who didnt go to church last week because she couldnt walk. I dont remember if I explained before, but she has just about every health problem imaginable. But we went to visit her and talked about the importance of going and the blessing she will receive and she said she was going si o si. Well Sunday came around and she didnt show up. We got a message from her saying that she got up to go, walked a few blocks, and then couldnt move her leg. We went to visit her after and she told us that she doesnt think its the right time. Sadly, I kind of agree. We´ve been working on her since I got to Zárate, and that was about 2.5 months ago. She´s kinda become an eternal investigator and isnt progressing. We´re gonna try again for a member to help her get to church but we´ll see what happens. 

We had given a Book of Mormon to a girl earlier this week and told her we were going to come by. She was 12, and honestly we didnt think much about it. We went by yesterday and she came out with her book, said she read what we left her, and really liked it. We had her read in 3 Nephi when Christ comes to America and she had said she really liked it. We´re gonna try to keep working with her and hopefully know her family and work with them. 

I dont have a lot to say this week, except that I love this gospel. I love being able to share this message with the people of Argentina. Every hard moment, every person that rejects us, every appointment that falls through, every single disappoimtnet in the mission is all worth it. Because in those moments, we´re able to experience of the Savior felt. As missionaries we have the opportunity to walk a small part of the path the Christ walked. I´ve never felt so low, so lonely, so sad, as I have on my mission. But I´ve also never felt  so high, so much joy, or so close to Christ. Every hard moment is worth it to be able to testify of Christ. To share this happiness that I have with others, happiniess that I know only comes from living the gospel of Christ. 

I love you all! Hope you have an amazing week!

Love,
Hermana Prestwich
