Week 46 - San Martin de los Andes

So, we're going through the apartment little by little. Its horrifying. Today, we did our bedroom. It was the worst so far. SO many spiders and SO much mold in the carpet. We reorganized so that we can see the moldy spots now (theyre not under beds or anything) and we'll be spraying bleach there too. We a hope to take out the carpet soon (thats what hermana casariego says we've gotta do) WARNING RACHEL: LOTS OF SPIDER WEBS IN PICTURES: 

Okay, so one of the pictures is of the stairs here. There are So many houses in the mountain and there arent streets up there. We climb thin, scary stairs right up the mountain to get to investigators haha We were always curious how people built their houses ALL the way up there... until we served a lady in the street and helped her haul buckets of rocks and dirt and materials for houses up the mountain. Super fun. I still feel my muscles aching haha 

What is your favorite thing about being a missionary?  

I think its seeing the changes in peoples livs. We find people in so many different walks of life and love seeing how their lives can change and imrove with the atonemenet in their lives. I love it. 

How is your companion?

Shes good. She loves bbeetles. No not the band. The bugs. We'll be walking, shell stop and saw "AWWWWW!!!! LOOK!" 

How is your companionship?

It's good. Ive found that if I sing high school musical all the time, we get along better. Its something we can do together. 

How is your area?

Really good. MIRACLES

How are your investigators?

GOOD! Quique turns out USED to be alcoholic, but left alcohol 3 years ago by himself!!! MIRACLE. Madelen.... still has troubles with wanting to be married. We are going to be direct with her this week. 

There was a girl that stopped us on the street like my second day here. Told us shes ex-jehovah's witness and that shes been investigating the hcurch for years. She asked for the church address and said when she moves here, shell go to church. SHE CAME OT CHURCH YESTERDAY! she's super ready:) 

Also, yesterday we found a girl in the street and she was like, I dont listen to people from churches because I dont believe in the bible completely. Its touched too many hands that arent prophets. We taught her about the apostacy and the book of mormon and she was like, "THIS is what they took out of the bible????? I want it!!!" MIRACLE.
