Life is WONDERFUL!


Hey fam!
Well, I don`t have much time, but basically.... well... life is wonderful!! :)
Carlos, the guy who I told yal about who hid from us and never progressed, is AMAZING! We had a million super great lessons with his family this week, and he came to church on Sunday! His son, Lucas, is only 12 but is so cute, cuz now every night he says his prayers, and when he told us about it he said "It`s true what you told me that God answers your prayers. You can feel it. It`s like a peace, a tranquility. When I pray I know God is listening. I feel so calm... almost TOO calm!" ..... ANd this is a 12 year old saying this!! Man... I love this family!
ANyways, sorry so short this week, but just remember that I love you all tons and tons! Be good. There are no second chances at life, so live the one you`ve been given well. Be good, and always reach out to lift those around you. When we serve others, we are the hands of God, those that he sends to answer the prayers of those who have fallen.
TONS of kisses from here in Argie! :)
Love, Hermana Churchill
Pic: Today we went to Avellaneda to visit a family I LOVE, and during pday found STARBUCKS! I couldn`t believe it! And, even better, it was right after we found WALMART! It was an all-american day! :)

Dressed in white :) :) :)



First off..... CONGRATULATIONS MEL!!!!! For those of you who don`t know... I`m an auntie! again :)
Well... this week we accomplished the impossible!! :) haha, ok maybe not impossible, but we had three AWESOME baptisms! It`s been a bit of a struggle for a few different reasons, but Mariana (9), Graciela (40-) and Eduardo (43) all got baptised on Saturday!! YAY!!! It was awesome, too, cuz usually in this ward no one goes to the baptisms, but we had 50-60 people there, and had to move the service to the chapel because there were so many people!!! It was so wonderful!!
The next day was almost a disaster, but ended up ok. On Saturday night we received transfer calls (me and Hna Aravena are staying together here in Burzaco), and after we went to bed another area called us like 5 times, so i just hung up every time cuz we were SO tired! But then at 6:30 in the morning when the alarm went off on Sunday, I though it was them calling again, so i hung up.... and we kept sleeping until 8:30!!!!!!!!! AHHH!!! (church starts at 9:30) LUCKILY our landlord came and knocked on our door to see if we wanted a ride to church (we live behind a member`s house). On top of it all, we had to be in the house of Graciela and Mariana at 8:30 to go to church with them, and it takes 25 minutes to walk to their house. So we got ready super quick and booked it to their house, and... in the end everything turned out ok :) It was scary though!
That`s about all there is to tell though. It`s been an awesome transfer here in Burzaco, and we`re excited to have an even better transfer this time!
Well, I`ll leave it at that for now... enjoy the pics! :) Love you all tons!
Besitos,
Hermana CHUCHI!
