Hermana Tess Crawford: ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

Hey!

I can't believe I'm already writing you again, this week flew by insanely fast. I love all the pictures that I've seen of the Gilbert temple. It's gorgeous, just like Chloe in the MORP picture! Dang, girl. I'm glad the dance practices are going well too and that you're working hard. So to answer your question, yes, it feels like I'm coming home soon. But at the same time I feel like I'm never really going home and this is my life now forever. I don't know, but seriously time is going by so fast now, it freaks me out. I'm so excited that I'm going to room with Jenna again though! It gives me a little reassurance that I'll have someone to teach me how not to be weird and fill me in on what I missed while I was gone. Thanks for figuring all that BYU stuff out for me! PS the interview with Pres is already taken care of. Let me know what else I need to do if there is anything.

This week was a cold and rainy one. I've been told that all of Argentina has been rainy this last week? But yeah, we got trapped downtown without raincoats or umbrellas twice this week. Once was after district meeting and the roads were literally rivers that we had to cross in our sandals and skirts. The other time was on my anniversary when we had a "tormenta blanca" with the zone in our district leaders area to help them find more people to teach and literally we had a tormenta during the tormenta haha. The elders had sent Hna Barney and I to the furthest part of there area to knock doors (like 40 min away) and it was pouring the whole time as we walked in our drenched cardigans. Then when we finally got to the area we could only knock 3 doors and get in one house for 5 minutes before the elders called and said they were cancelling the tormenta blanca and that we had to walk the 40 minutes back to the chapel.. Oh yeah and as we were walking back we pass a grocery store and I look in the window and see Hna Hatch inside with a fireman's jacket on drinking mate! What the? I guess she had gotten super cold and went in to the grocery store to get warm and they all freaked out and gave her the baby treatment. Her face was purple when I saw her. Poor thing, she's always getting sick! Yesterday we had to stay 4 hours at lunch yesterday because she felt like she was going to faint and so she laid down in a members bed for a while.

But yeah, the rest of the week was good. We had lessons with Lucia & Gloria (they were the ones I made the banana bread for) and also with Angie & Matias. They're doing well- Angie is progressing most out of all of them. We had an interesting experience in that lesson that I don't really want to write about because it makes mad, but when I get home I'll tell you about it. All I will say is that I'm never going to doubt spiritual impressions again because it's the worst feeling ever when you realize that your companion had the same one and neither of you followed it.. Ahh. Anyways Veronica is doing well too but she traveled last week so we couldn't talk to her. She's really pregnant- like she's due next week- so we'll see if we can talk to her again before she goes home to Mendoza. Our eternal investigator came to church yesterday and we had an awesome relief society lesson about strengthening families/marriages which is just what she needed to hear, which was cool. I'm sad to be leaving La Punta in a week. I really love the branch- it's like a family, and it's so pretty here. I'm excited for a change though- I'll let you know next week where I'm going and who my comp is! Love you all! Have a great week! Enjoy the pictures!
