Cowboy Bar

Happy Monday everyone!! 


This week was so so good! And so crazy! We moved into a new apartment complex this week and so far our only neighbors are Jevoha's Witnesses haha we're actually good friends now! 


We also went on exchanges this week and traveled to a tiny little far away town in the middle of nowhere. It's super cute! We got off the bus and were pretty hungry so we pull out google maps and see that there's only one restaurant in the whole town. So we walk in with all of our bags and suitcases and it turns out that it's the town's bar! You know in those old western movies when the cowboy walks into the bar and the music stops and forks drop and all heads turn to look? Hahaha literally that was our experience! it was so funny, everyone must have been so confused to see two young American missionaries walking into a bar at 11:30am, a moment I'll never forget. Sometimes I really do feel like my life in the mission is a movie hahah


I am absolutely loving everything about the mission! My branch is so awesome, the members are just the BEST! and my comp is an angel! The friends we are teaching are just my favorite people ever! We have this one friend from Cuba named Edelvis!! and wow he is just the best! We met him one day when he showed up with his member friend to the baptism of our other friend Raquel. Now it's his turn to get baptized this saturday!! I would love if you could pray for him that all goes well!


I love you all!! Send me updates:):)

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.
