Brooke's Mission

  …and a happy new year!! Helloooooo everyone and Merry late Christmas! I hope it was wonderfully wonderful! As one of the elderes said, "Como se dice merry Christmas" and then inspiration came to him, "Maria Navidad!" (I don't think he's ever heard feliz navidad)🎄🎅🎵 Qué paso esta semana? 🃏Wowed the bishops family with my card trick and of course related it to a scripture  🌊Jose accepted to get baptized. PLEASE PRAY for him! He couldn't come to church yesterday, but he was so precious when we asked him because he's pretty old and he was like "with my age, I can still get baptized?" YESSSS JOSÉ you can! La agua ya esta. But yeah if you could keep him in your prayers, that would be amazing. 🍶Basically we had like no water for a couple days and we could not find one single kiosco that was open or sold water. We spent like 15 minutes looking in every kiosco for water, but we found some finally. 😇We sang songs on Christmas eve with a fami...

  What is up y'all! I am not in Rio Grande any more, but now I am in Trelew aka the hottest part of our mission. I got off the flight and was like oh my gosh what is this feeling. It was HEAT.🔥☀️ Well what we are doing is a whitewash and I am training a brand new sister. So a lot of new things, a lot of holas como se llamas and then me forgetting that I met them lolol and asking them again oopsie doopsie. Some crazy things: (honestly this whole week was crazy, but here's the highlights) 🎂Had a drop lesson (they aren’t interested in progressing), but they took pictures with us at the end and gave us cake so a win is a win. Oh and they told us that their friends are interested. 🛩Had to sit in the airport in Buenos Aires for 5 hours waiting and being extremely bored. 📃Our Scheduling app and our whatsapp did not work for the first half of the week so we worked like the good old days😅 👩‍👧‍👧We were a trio for a couple days. It was a lot of fun and talking way way too late int...

  Hello everyone! Sorry this is gonna be really short and sweet. We had a really good week with lots of miracles. Like my title said, I am leaving Rio Grande basically tomorrow at 3am to go to Trelew where I will be doing a whitewash and training a newbie. Whitewash means we are both new to the area and don't know anyone. So yeah lots and lots and lots of things I have never before done. Guys I am terrified. I don't know how to train. I dont know how to whitewash an area. But I just thought of this scripture that was the first scripture I ever really liked. And the first scripture I ever memorized. 1 Nephi 3:7 "7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father:  I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded , for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." Two things: God doesn't give us any commandment that we cannot acco...

  Holisssss! Welcome back to another day in the best area in the best mission in the world🎊 So this week we had planned and planned and grinded so that Bianca could get baptized yesterday, but her dad still won't sign the paper with his permission and he won't let us come get to know him. Ugh he is so frustrating, but we wrote him a kind note to explain that his daughter's life will only be more blessed by getting baptized. She had this desire to make a covenant with God that only will being blessings so fingers crossed for that! It's in God's hands now! I know that she will get baptized soon and that the heart of her dad will be softened. If you could include her in your prayers, that would be phenomenal!!🤍😊💫 Anywhosies, we did have a baptism and it was such a crazy whirlwind. Joana (Ana) was in lessons months ago and then the missionaries lost contact with her, but she came back and had resolved whatever issues she already had, so she was able to get baptized!...

  Buenossssssssss diassssss everyone! Guess what...it is finally December!!🎅🌲🎄🎁 I love this time of year when we truly get to remember Jesus Christ and his birth! I invite you all to read, watch, or listen to the accounts of Christ's birth sometime this month and think how different your life would be without him. Think of ALL that he had done for you and then go serve others, go light the world yourself☀️🌟😊 It has been a super fun week, here's the highlights.... 👻 Apparently I talked in my sleep in spanglish and terrified my comp lol 💡Helped an old lady put up her Christmas lights in her  very specific way  of doing so. 🐴 We petted horses, never thought I would do that in Argentina  👩‍🦯🎼⚽️🃏Zone conference was a series of unfortunate events but it was so so good. We get up and I realize that my contacts are ripped and I forgot my glasses so yeah I was blind ALL DAY of zone conference😭 and then as we are getting ready to sing they call me up to lead the ...
