Hola Familia y amigos!!
Okay so no, sadly it still hasn't snowed here yet, and the
truth is that I'm not sure if it will... but it’s FREEZING. Holy Hannah…I
have officially decided that there is no way I can ever live in a humid climate
again in my life. I miss Utah's crazy bipolar weather more than anything because
it’s DRY. The humidity sucks in the summer
because you are just hot and sweaty always. But winter is even worse because
it doesn't matter how many layers you are wearing... the cold just cuts right
to your bones and makes you all achy and cold and miserable. But we love
it!! ;) In the end, it’s not that
bad....only a couple more months and I’ll be sweating to death again so I might
as well enjoy it, right?

Good news of the week... Marcelo has a baptism date!!!
Wahoo!!! Now, he still hasn't received a for sure answer yet, but
we invited him to be baptized and he said yes.
He has committed that if he comes to know that the things we have taught
him are true, he will get baptized on August 6th :) Please please PLEASE
keep him in your prayers!!
This week we went on our little road trip to Tandil that
ended up being less than 24 hours and honestly feels like a dream. We
left late Monday night, “slept” on a freezing cold tile floor, went to the
church and had our zone conference, which lasted all day, and then ran to the
terminal to catch our bus back to Olavarrìa.
Sadly, we didn't get to see anything in the city besides the view from
the bus window. But from what we saw, it was super pretty!! Who
knows, maybe one day I'll get transferred there and get to see more.

We also just found out that we have another fun road trip
ahead of us tonight....my comp and I have to go to Bahia Blanca so that she can
get legal in Argentina. Gotta love
paperwork.... Super fun!
That's about it for this week - sorry nothing too exciting
happened. But we did get to go visit our best friend Raquel this
week. I seriously love that woman so much!! Poor thing has been sick these last couple
weeks and as a result hasn't been able to attend church or go to school.
She was telling us about how hard it’s been for her but also how good this
little time away from the things she loves has helped her realize just how
important they are in her life. She really helped me understand the
importance of realizing the blessings that we have and taking advantage of the opportunities
that we have in front of us every day. #countyourblessings okay? :)
Well I love and miss you all and hope you have a warm summer
week :)
Con amor y
anillos,
Hermana Bartholomew
