2 weeks Sorry! (Make that 4 weeks) - Written on July 20th

Sorry i didnt have time to write a mass email last week but i got a bunch of stuff done then had to go! haha so is life sometimes.

So not much has happened in the last two weeks besides find, filter, and drop investigators. Oh am i learning patience! 

Other than that 2 really fun things happened in the past 2 weeks! The week that i didnt write, as you probably saw in the pictures that i sent was that we went to the temple! Wow it was such a great experience. It really helped me to focus on the things that matter and to see why we do the things we do as missionaries, or the "goal." I had forgotten how much i love the temple. I KNOW that it is the house of the lord and that we can go there when we need peace and guidance from our Father. It amazes me how the lord will always answer our prayers and give us the guidance that we need. 

THis week we had a great ward activity. Apparently it was one of the only big ward activities that has happened in a few years and although no investigators showed up it really gave the members a lot of excitement to continue participating in the future events that are to come and to work with the missionary force in the ward. It was a really great activity and we hope that there will be more to come in the future! 

and thats about it for the past two weeks! i love you all and hope that you have a great week to come!

love hermana ostler

4th of July, Argentine Style

4th of july/copa america! representing the both :)

Well this week has basically been a roller coaster of everything. Seriously i dont know what is up with zona zarate but i am flipping getting whiplash cause every morning I wake up with a different sickness. But anyhow. 

We started off the week by on monday we cooked tacos as a district! OH MY GOSH HOW I MISS TACOS. i just cant. but thats besides the point. Ok tuesday. We went to leadership counsil...? i think thats the translation.... and as usual it was great. but they announces a challenge that were doing as a mission for pioneer day. In 24 days (july 1-july 24th) the whole mission is reading the whole book of mormon! THat means we have to read 26 pages of the book of mormon in spanish every day. Crazy. Its really inspired. Were trying to come together more as a mission and to be able to have the spirit with us more as we teach. Its so exciting! Its really hard because we have NO TIME as missionaries but its worth it. I know that miracles will come from it!

Wednesday- zone meeting and divisions with hermana valeriano from hawaii! shes awesome! it was a great day. 

Thursday- Not too much happened. I dont remember too much actually

Friday- a bunch of things blew up in my face haha but its all good because the atonement is real and we all learn from experience

Saturday- 4th of July and COPA AMERICA. SO this was a really cool experiance. Basically Copa America is just about the biggest soccer tournament apart from the world cup. This year it was in chile and in the end it was chile vs argentina and WE GOT TO WATCH! basically because a. NO ONE would listen to us during the game even if we tried, b. the only people who would be in the streets are people who are up to no good, and c. its a way to get all the missionaries really excited.... well until we lost. Yeah basically every time the 2 star players got the ball the chileans started grabbing them and holding them back.. literally! RAGE. In the end im pretty sure the argentines just gave up because the chileans were playing dirty. And we lost the shoot out. It was dumb. But really entertaining to watch a game with a bunch of argentines. hahaha what a great night. 

Sunday- normal sunday working and church :)

other than that its officially winter and flipping cold!!! i cant. Im dying cause im living in a freezer. with humidity. whoooo but yeah thats my week!

love you all! im off to the temple this week, finally! 

love
