SUPER DOOPER WEEK

I would say this was one of the best weeks of the mission. We have found SO  many people, taught SO many lessons, and a ton of people came to church. I'm kinda doing a white wash here and it has been extremely fun so far. I really like Venado Tuerto. It is much more city-ish than Funes. I feel like I'm at home (as in back in Paraná). Contacts are easier to get, and people are just letting us in. I don't know what's happening, but I love it! Hopefully we see more and more miracles everyday.
And the members here are AMAZING. So kind to the missionaries. I get along with them and they are really surprised that I already can speak Spanish well because normally new Americans go there. I have 14 months practicing Spanish now, crazy!!!
My comp is great. Her name is Hermana Gossen (I sent pics to you mom) and she is from Paraguay. Not gonna lie, I'm not a huge fan of the Paraguay accent. They say the "r"´s like Americans who have a bad accent in Spanish. It's kinda funny to me, but I don't wanna pick it up. I like the Argentine accent better. She is a lot older than me, but I think she is self conscious of that so I haven't asked exactly how old she is (I'm thinking 27 or something). But she is a hard worker. SOOO loving. I have never met someone so loving. She cares about EVERYONE. She is always always always thinking about our investigators and their needs. It's so incredible to me. I hope to come home with that kind of love for others as well. That is by far her best quality, although she has a ton of great qualities.
Also another blessing is that there are 2 other hermanas who like right next door to us! They share the branch with us and we just split the area. One is Hermana Giusti, who I ADORE! She and I are really good friends, and she is going to go to BYU! (she is from Buenos Aires). WE have a lot of fun together. And, I testify that the Lord hears and answers our prayers--Hermana Biar (the comp of Hermana Giusti) Likes to go running every morning. YES! I scored myself a great running buddy for the rest of the mission.
I literally have nothing to complain about. Just I'm hoping our investigators can keep with their commitments and realize how wonderful the gospel is and how much it can bless their lives. I know right now we are doing ALL we can do to let them feel the joy, happiness, Peace, and love the gospel of Jesus Christ brings. It is so marvillosa (whats the word for that in English again?).
I guess the only thing bad about here is that there are 4 times as many dogs here as in any of my other areas. And most are street dogs, that have been hit by cars several times and are limping and dying and diseased. Its SUPER nasty. And hna Gossen is more scared of the dogs here than I am, I never thought I'd meet someone who was more scared than I was!
THe chruch is true!!!
loooooooove you all
