I Like Mate!?

Hey guys!! How are you all?? It's been a sec but I've just been here in Treinta y Tres living the missionary life and drinking mate... and i actually like it?? Turning into a true Uruguaya now I guess I've been here too long hahah!!


I also tried a new fruit!! It's called Butia and apparently it only grows on certain palm trees in Uruguay and parts of Brazil during the month of March! It is suuuuuper yummy and kinda tastes like pineapple! I am obsesseddddd


Not gonna lie these past few weeks have been a little rough! I got sick for the first time on the mission and me and my companion were both outttt for like a week. Not fun. But I'm better now and readyyyy to hear all the updates from you all;);) how is everyone?? feel free to write me whenever


Also soooo excited for conference this weekend!! I hope everyone will get the chance to watch it!


Love you all!!

ROCHA

Hi guys!!! I finally made it to Uruguay!! I've been here for about a week and a half now!! My area is Rocha which I think is about 3 hrs from Montevideo. The people here are so nice and patient with my spanish, especially my companion. She's from Idaho and is the nicest ever!  We went on exchanges this week and I spent the day with another hermana in San Carlos. She has been here only 6 weeks longer than me so we are both still learning spanish! Im still shocked that our companions trusted us enough to be in charge of an area for a day but it all worked out. Not gonna lie it was way scary going around trying to teach people when we had no clue what anyone was saying!!! The people here looooove to talk and tell stories and so it's a stressful guessing game trying to choose which facial expression to make while they're telling me stories because I never can tell if they're sad stories or happy ones. Hahaha please pray for my spanish. Being in Uruguay is so cool though...

Praying For Rain

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well! This week was so awesome! We found 7 new people to teach and are so excited because we are finally seeing success in our area! It's definitely been a struggle though because the heat is so intense!! Apparently there is a big drought going on right now and so they're starting to shut the water off in different cities near my area.  Our mission leaders had us all buy emergency water today so that we can all be prepared because we don't know when they will turn off the water or for how long..... ahhh pray for us here in Uruguay!!  I miss you all!! Feel free to write me whenever;););) it makes my day hearing from you guys! Xoxo Hermana Heyborne PICS: 1. cookie dough!!! 2. my first torta frita 3.
