Be Happy!

Hello my favorite family!

How are you all doing? This week was so great! I cannot believe how fast October has flown by! And of course as it is getting colder there things are getting a lot hotter here. I always thought that Idaho weather was crazy but Buenos Aires definitely tops it.... One day we have to use a jacket and something underneath and the next we are melting in short-sleeves. Oh my... I guess I am pretty tan already since like everyone is commenting on it. I personally feel that is a weird thing to notice about the missionaries but oh well. :) Also the mosquitos have come out... Oh my favorite part of Argentina. The craziest part is that they are out all day, not just in the night, and they can bite through any article of clothing! I guess I will just suffer for the next couple of months.

I forgot to tell you last week about the great "typically missionary" experience that I had! We were crossing the street and had to wait in the middle for a second for the cars to pass and a bus came by and some guy threw a half eaten piece of bread at us! Ha ha the best part was that it hit my companion in the head and then hit me in the head as well! My companion was super mad but I thought it was hilarious! Also walking down that same street this week someone threw an egg at us. Luckily they have terrible aim so it wasn´t even close... again I was loving it for the whole "being persecuted for Christ´s sake" and my companion was mad. Oh the mission experiences.

So the family I wrote you about last week, the Flia Solis, is SOOOO amazing! I love them so much and it is sooooo interesting to speak/teach in english. They are so incredible. They said to tell you all hi today. I was so excited in thier house this week. They have couches!!! And they have a box of rice crispie treats, fruit roll-ups, maple syrup etc. I was in heaven. AND I ate ranch!!!! Also the kids of the family (Daniela y Nico) went to church on Sunday. Nico is 8 so it was pretty interesting since I haven´t really been around kids in awhile! We were so blessed though because we were running super late and weren´t going to make it to church on time and just then a member pulled up along side of us and told us to get in her car! I love instantaneous blessings like that!

As a thought Cali sent me a quote that I want to share with you. "If you aren´t happy, change something. If you don´t want to change something, be happy".... Y si... don´t really have much more to add to that, happiness is a choice, not something that just happens! so BE HAPPY!

Alright I have to go now, but I think about you often, I pray for you always, and I love you forever!
