CARRASCO.

These past few weeks have been wild. Lots of ups and downs... I left Canelones, but now I'm onto my last area... CARRASCO. 


I cannot believe I'm here! Carrasco is a city in Montevideo (the capital of Uruguay) and is literally the richest part of Uruguay. The houses are MANSIONS! It's a lot different than the countryside part of Uruguay that I've lived in for 16 months. I'm now with a new companion, fresh out of the mtc! Her name is Hermana Torres and she's from Columbia! I love her so much. Together we're opening this area and it has been crazy let me tell you hahaha. But we have been seeing so many little miracles. The ward here has the best members. Seriously. I'm so sad I'm only going to be here for 3 more weeks because even though the work is hard, I've already fallen in love with the members and the pretty views of Carrasco.


I now live in a super nice apartment right next to the beach. The neighbors are awesome, the bathroom is suuuuper nice, and the kitchen actually works! The only downside is that I don't have a bed. Please pray for me and my back hahah


There is also an invasion of mosquitos here in Uruguay. I thought we had a lot of mosquitos to begin with but now literally walking outside you are swarmed with hundreds! They are also warning that these mosquitos are the ones carrying dengue fever


Anyways I love you all! Hope you're doing well! Happy Easter! I hope everyone is able to reflect on the happy news that our savior LIVES and loves us!

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.
