Six weeks and lovin' it!

I cannot believe that I have almost completed my first transfer in Argentina! My Castellano is not where I wanted it :( but it is progressing a little every day. Hermana and I had a visit from the Hermana Training Leaders this last week. They are in Barilochi (which is where Hna Terry is!! She is doing great according to the HTLs) and the visit the Hermanas in the area every month to do intercambios. I got to go with Hermana Guerra from Brasil! A whole day without a single word in English, because even if I didn't know it in Spanish, I couldn't ask her! Whew...talk about a brain workout! But it was great, we visited a contact and had a great first lesson!
It is almost spring here, which I was super excited about until I found out that primavera here means more lluvia...ah...but rain is better than windy springs in Portales! ;)
We had almuerzo with Hermana Aguerra from church, who is the music director and once she realized that I was the soprano voice she could hear coming from the congregation and that I play the piano, she pulled out music for me to play and then requested a couple of hymns for me to play and sing. It was great fun, I miss singing and playing! I sing every day, hopefully it isn't annoying for Hna Sparacino! She has her own little radio companion! I am always humming or doing lip trills or something! But it is nothing compared to the hours of singing I did at Eastern! I think this break from heavy training will really make me appreciate it even more!
We did a service project as missionaries in San Martin at Puentes de Luz, which is a facility for disabled people here. It was lovely. We spent the morning helping landscape and plant trees. Thanks to Dad, I have experience with that!
Elder Randall asked me to speak on Missionary Conduct in our Reunion de Distrito this past week. I enjoyed studying it out a bit and what I learned that really what we need is the conduct of Christ. As misisonaries and representatives of Him, we have to show His love.
I have begun to read El Libro de Mormón, gosh, reading the scriptures in Spanish is way slower than English. But I notice different things, usually little words like "siempre" (always). That word really means a lot when you think about it. Not many things always work, but the Lord always loves us. How blessed we are!
I love you all and hope that everything is going splendidly wherever you are!
