Hey there family!!! 3 weeks down! 3 to go! (at least in the MTC)

 So I first want to start by saying sorry because in my last letter I may have sounded a little home sick and I was. I missed you guys that day and that's why I kinda chewed you out for not writing me as much. I think what didn't help was that I went 5 days in a row without receiving a single letter and it hurt seeing the other girls talk about their families and I had nothing to say. but I got Yours and grandmas Easter package and I loved it! so did my companion!!

But yes I have gotten letters and packages. It was just those 5 days that I didn't hear from you and it dampened my spirit. I have gotten all of grandma and grandpas cards but have not received any dear elders from them. The first one I got was last night and grandma wrote it that day but that just means that I have 9 letters ready for me to open in Argentina :) You guys really are doing good with letters I PROMISE. last p-day I was just too home sick:) I love hearing from the cousins, aunts and uncles! Its so nice to hear about their lives and how they are doing!  My district loved the peeps and I was telling them how you actually go over the top with cupcakes. They said that at our district reunion, you are making cupcakes :)

 now to you letters :)

I am feeling much better, and yeah you are right. Bed rest in the MTC is NOT FUN!! I really didn't to anything. Worked on some Spanish, read the scriptures and preach my gospel, talked with my companion.... yeah that's about it :( now I just have an ear infection. The doctor said that they are common in the MTC. It is so annoying because it feels like I have water in my ears and it won't come out but its nothing a little amoxicillin can't help :)

Our lessons are going great!! We have 3 progressing investigators. They are actually our teachers but they are acting as an investigator that they taught. Juan is one that we taught last night. He has been to many different churches and wondered what makes ours so different. He was so hard to crack!! we first taught him about the restoration and the Book of Mormon. Our first two lessons with him were hard but last night he told us that when he prayed to know if the Book of Mormon was true, he had a peaceful feeling. We told him that it was the Holy Ghost confirming that la Inglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Ultimos es verdadero (the church is true) We told him that we are having a baptismal service on April 19 and asked if he would prepare himself to be baptized on that date with the proper authority of God and he accepted!!! No words could describe mine and Hermana Buckholz's joy. We could not help but to cry! It was so AMAZING!! Another of our investigators is Maria. She has committed so many sins in her life and she thinks that Heavenly Father is not going to forgive her. We taught her of the love God has for her and that she can repent of her sins. Big and small! We had her read Alma 36 and pray to know if she can be forgiven and she did!! She has agreed to go to church on Sunday, and I think she is really excited. Out last investigator is Ada. She is a single mom with a 6 year old daughter. She wants a better life for her daughter and for herself. We taught her that the gospel blesses families when you apply it to your life and work together as a family. We invited her to pray with her daughter and if they would like to come to church and they are coming too!! I love teaching! My Spanish is still really basic and my companion does most of the teaching but my favorite part of teaching is testifying of the truth! It may not be correct Spanish but I know that if I can share my testimony, the spirit will do the rest :) 

The days here at the MTC are unexplainable. I feel like I have been her for EVER!! but the days go by surprisingly fast. And our days are never the same. but I    will give you a brief overview

6:30 wake up and get ready

7:10 breakfast

11:45 lunch

4:45 dinner

9:30 return to residence

10:30 bed time

and in between meals we have the following gym for an hour, personal study for an hour, TALL (a computer program to help with the language) for an hour, class room instruction for 3 hours, another classroom instruction for 3 hours and on Tuesday evenings we have devotionals where we have a guest speaker.

 I'm so glad that you job is doing well! I was looking back on the letter of when you got the job and I agreed with everything you said! I am so grateful that we had the time together and that Heavenly Father knows when we need to be blessed!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! It is going to be the best! I can't wait for them to say the numbers of current missionaries and on how the work is going!!! General conference weekend here is really laid back. No classes, no appointments, just a day of rest! It's nice because today is p-day and then two more days of stress free paradise!! I can't wait!!

 now my week :)

So I wrote you a letter telling you that I had no clue that Sunday was Easter.... Yeah I felt dumb Saturday night! haha Easter was really good! I wrote you about it in my letter but I will tell you again! So basically I was part of MTC history!! More than 3000 missionaries got together to partake of the sacrament. 40 Elders blessed the sacrament and 80 elders passed it. And it only took 15 minutes!!!! Our speaker was Bishop Gerald Causse. It was incredible!! My favorite thing that he said was "Missionary work works because of the atonement of Jesus Christ!" How powerful is that! It never dawned on my, that that is exactly what missionary work is! Bring others to Christ and helping them use the Atonement! AHHHHHH AMAZING!!! And the day was beautiful! We had a temple walk, took pictures, had testimony meeting. I just loved it!! I really did miss not being able for go Easter egg hunting in grandmas backyard but I wouldn't have missed this Easter for the world!! Later that evening Sheri Dew came and spoke to us about how Christ is our only chance. My favorite thing she said was "the pedigree of your spirit can be written on a single line. You are a child of God." LOVE IT!!!

Monday we said goodbye to a district in our zone. They were the oldest district when we came in and took really good care of us. We sang God be With you till we meet again in Spanish. I have chills just thinking of the song! It is so much more beautiful in spanish. I cried the whole time but of course I did because I inherited my crying ability from grandma!! :)

 Tuesday we had another speaker. Michael T. Ringwood of the Seventy. The new quote here at the MTC that he said was "We have the greatest message! Enlight the world and set it on fire!" So powerful because that is exactly what we are doing. Rekindeling the Light of Christ in mankind! Lighting the world on fire!!

Oh and one of my teachers actually served in Argentina! He searved in Benos Aries. He has told us a ton of stuff and I am getting more and more and more and more and more excited to go! Oh and he said Toms are like 5 pesos (around $2) EVEN MORE EXCITED!!! haha he also gave us ideas of great suveniers :)

I know that this gospel is true and I know the impact that the gospel has in our lives. It has been such a blessing to be able to practice teaching the gospel. I have never felt the spirit so strong!! I love teaching the gospel! I can not wait for the day that I will be able to say everything that I want in Spanish, but the greatest blessing is seeing how my words is not what converts its the spirit! So my testimony in Spanish may be short and the Spanish may not be correct but the Spirit makes it a testimony!

Yo se que la Inglesia de Jesucristo do los Santos de los Ultimos Dias es Verdadero. El Espiritu Santo gives me paz. Yo se que Jesucristo surio para nosotros pecados y por medio el expiacion do Jesucristo nosotros can return to Padre Celestial!

See im learning!! a little..... :)

All my love
