Hola Hola!
Wooohoooo!!!!!! I have been watiing to hear about mission calls for MONTHS! I cannot wait to hear where he is heading! Woooohoooooooo!


So this week was a struggle again with finding people. everyone is on vacation they have a break from school right now. Ugh! But thats ok and we contyinue to work hard! It has rained a bunch so I finally have gotten to use sweaters and my rain jackets and I boght rain boots" Pictures to come!


I think the coolest thing about this week has been my studing and sunday. Sunday was testimony meeting and there was a family visitng from up north that one of the members of the bishopbric baptized. They all shared their testimonies and he was just bawling. The spirit was so strong and It was an awesome experience. My studies this week have been AWESOME. I dont know what happened but Heavenly Father has opened my mind and I just love reading and have learned so much. Especially today while I was reading Alma ch.5. I love that chapter. It is so direct but it helps us understand and recognize what we need to change in our lives. I lvoe the verses that talk about if it was our turn to die in this moment, would we be prepared? I share it a lot with the people we teach becuase even though it is super strongly worded it shows us whats important. I love this gospel and I love being a missionary.


I am getting so excited to see you on Sunday! I cannot even believe it is time to call home again! So crazy. I hope you are online to let me know what time is best to call and what plans are. I lvoe you tons! and am enjoying the granol bars and reeses puffs! Thank you!


Love you!
Love, Hermana Baer

Well this week was a good one and it went by really fast. We have a baptism ready for this next saturday so i will have a baptism on my birthday wich is awesome. His name is Gustavo his wife is a member and he is getting baptized with his daughter who is 8 this saturday so we are excited for that. Also it rained all week basically so in my area of all dirt streets we were walking around in mud all week wich was fun but luckily my shoes are holding out and i didnt get wet. So we have been telling all our members that my birthday is coming up so they are preparing for that and my comps bday is the next week so we are going to have two good weeks of birhtday celebration. so we are preparing for that. as of now i realy like my area the members are awesome they are always heping us out and always give us stuff to eat and when its cold they always give us warm stuff to drink so that is good. And yesterday it started to get really cold down here. this morning and yesterday i think it was like 5 degrees celsius wich is like 41 ferenheit so its starting to get colder down here. Also yesterday the 2 biggest soccer teams down here played against eachother so everyone was waching that and nobody let us in their houses so we went and visited a old member couple and spent some time with them for the most part of the game. And well i look forward to seeing you al on sunday, i dont know what time i will call but i will probably call sometime in the afternoon, If you get this and can answer back let me know what the time difference is right now here in argentina it is 1:30. And i will talk to you later i love you




ps............dont worry about me down here the members always tell us that because our moms cant come down here with us that they are our moms in argentina and they take good care of us so dont worry about a thing.

Glad to hear you got my letter! I recieved your package for my birthday the day before! Ahhh, it was so nice to have your card to open on my birthday day. I am new in the area so the only birthday wishes I got were from you and my comp in the morning lol. But that doesnt matter! I am one year older and still Hermana Baer ha. I am getting the hang a little bit more of my area, it is HUGE, humongous seriously it is like 20 times the size of my area in Tapachula but thats because the church isnt as big here in Comitan, but were working on that! My companion is super cute and we have lots of fun together! She is allergic to the sun and cant be in super super hot areas during her mission so she will probably be here in this area a long time, which means I might leave first, which is super weird but I guess we will see what happens when transfers come. Wanna know something AWESOME! We changed houses today and this house has a SHOWER! Woohooo! So we are going to be gas tomorrow and I will be taking a hot well, probably warm shower lol for the first time in 4 months! the house we had we had to warm up buckets of water to shower in the morning, which is fine, but we changed houses for a couple problems and the new house is super pretty. Ill send pictures next week! Honestly I am not sure what else to tell this week. Oh a member gave me a dress! Oh my goodness I love it! I was telling her how much i liked her authentic mexico shirt and she said, wait here! I have something for you! It is super cute and I think I am going to wear it home, so you will just have to wait till then to see it!


I am really enjoying Comitan, the members are great and our ward mission leader is actually pretty helpful. I am excited to continue to learn more here. I love you tons and hope you have an amazing week! i hope you are online to chat a little bit too! I will send a couple pictures if I can! Love you!


Love, Hermana Baer

Well i dont have lots of time to talk today. Well i got to my new area it is called Villegas. It is basically one of the poorest places i have been in my whole entire life but so far i love it here. The members are awesome they are very humble and always helping us out. It is a ward of basically all paragauyans and let me tell you in all of argentina the paraguayans are the best people they cook the best food, they talk the most interesting(their accent is awesome) and they also speak a weird native language called guaranĂ­. So that is the area and due to it being super poor their is no where to use the computer so we finally got to a computer at like 5 and pday ends at 6 so i am trying to do everything fast. Well my companion is named Elder Lozada he is from Ecuador and he just barely finished his training so i have to take a big leadership role here but he is really cool he has a weird ecuador accent that it is kind of hard to understand him but its cool. So we have one guy here preparing to get baptized for the may 9th so it might turn out i have a baptism for my birthday wich would be cool. And well we live in a different area called ciudad evita and that area is really really wealthy and we cross this little forest and we are in villegas and its like a jungle there its like 2 complete different worlds but so far i really like it i come back at nights and my shoes are usually a tan color from all the dust but that is cool. Well i will inform you guys more about everything next week hopefully we can plan everything a little better next week. I love you all and have a good week.


Love Elder Baer
