August 6, 2012- Letter

Dear Mom,

First of all, you have never sent me too many details. You have to
remember that I read very fast. Haha. Seventeen months into the
mission, and we have yet to have a problem with that. Second of all, I
am so glad that Dash isnt dead. I was seriously concerned with the
comunication in our family, that I have generally considered to be
pretty good. (With the execption that one time where Kami and I
thought we heard you and Dad talking and you were saying that Dad had
cancer. That was a fun night).  Third of all. The ceber I am at is
awful, and the keyboard is driving me insane. I will not have correct
punctuation today, because none of it is here (insert lots of
exclamation points here). I am just lucky that I found the parenthase
marks.

Hna Vaughan and Hna Carson are both still having some problems with
their feet. Hna Vaughan more than anyone, that poor girl is in some
serious pain. But, they are going to be resting a bit. Want to know
how I know that. Its cause they are companions now. Thats right, I got
transfered for my last transfer. I am now in a little town named
Pigüé. (Have fun pronouncing that one haha. I hope I spelled that
right.) Guess who is my companion. Guess guess guess. None other than
my very dear friend, Hna Baker. I am so excited.

We found out on Friday, but to really tell the story, I am going to
have to back up a little bit. On Tuesday, we (Hna Vaughan, Hna Carson,
and I) moved to the house in White for a couple of days. For very
complicated reasons that I am not going to take time to explain. So we
were living there all week, which was really fun, but really
complicated life. On Thursday, Hna Vaughan moved back to our house in
Puyerredon, and Hna Carson and I stayed in White. On Friday we got
transfers, and all four of us were together. It was fantastic. They
told us that Hna Vaughan and Hna Carson were going to be together in
Pueyrredon, and I thought my heart was going to fall out of my chest,
and then they said that Hna Pixton and Hna Alvarez were goint to be
together in White, and Hna Baker immediatly burst into tears. And then
Elder Galan told us that we were going together to Pigue, and we both
screamed. We are really excited, we are going to rock this trasnfer
up.

This week was really crazy since the Hna Vaughan was with us. I love
her, and she is great, but it really complicated things, since she
could never be alone. We spent a lot of money on taxis, to take her to
the office. There were also some days where the elders came to get
her, so we would just take a bus to our area to work.

Hna Carson also got sick again. That poor girl has another ear
infection, and so we spent a day at the doctor for her. It was
Wednesday, the same day that we went with Hna Vaughan to the doctor
for her foot. I think that Hna Parraño has way to much conficdance in
my ablities, but I am happy to help any way that I can. Frankly, this
week, I feel like I did a lot more babysitting than I did missionary
work, but whatever it is I need to do, I am willing to do.

Oh, at one point, I think it was Tuesday...we did divisions, and so
Hna Baker and I worked together for a couple of hours. That was really
fun. And ironic, since we are now companions.

I am seriously so excited to be comps with Hna Baker. She has become
one of my best friends, and we are going to do great things together.
She has also been really sick, and is starting to get better, so we
are going to start slowly,but I think that things are going to be
great.

It was really hard to leave Pueyrredon. Much harder than I thought
actually. My experiences there have been so distinct that I didnt
think it would be very hard, but as you can imagine, I cried alot. I
just couldnt bring myself to accept the fact that I was actually
leaving. I thought that for sure I would be finishing my mission
there. But there are many things to learn. So I am really excited.

Okay, some pictures.
The First two are us at the Hnas house in White.
Then after that they are pictures of me saying goodbye to people.
There is one of me and Gaby, one of the two of us and his mom, the
flia ortiz and ezequiel, jesica salvo. It was so hard to say goodbye.
Then there is one of Hna Baker and I in the colectivo. Officially
companions. Holla.
And in the last pícture is a surprise. You will recognize the face of
my hijita Hna McWhorter. She and Hna Sleight are also here in Pigue.
We are four and we are going to have a rockin transfer. I am so
excited.

Okay. that is all I have time for today. But I hope you know that I
love you so much.
