Hermana Sanovich in Uruguay: Season 3 Episode 13 " You know you´ve been in South America too long when..." (8-28-17)

Independence Day

Season 3 Episode 13
"You know you've been in South America too long when.."

Hey it's US!

Well we decided that this week we were just recognizing the difference that an entire year in Uruguay has had on the way that we react to different things. Here are just a few examples from this week...

1- A spider lands on you and you don't scream

2- When you have clothes drying on a broomstick under a heater.. after being washed in a bucket

3- When you eat noodles five time in one week but Sunday is special because the members made them

4- You are happy because the cockroaches outside your house are dead and not alive

5- You can live off of the equivalent of 2 US dollars for a week

6- Buses are life

7- We travel cross country on a weekly bases

8- People yell random things in English at us becuase they dont know how to say anything else

9- Buying shrimp out of a truck on the side of the road is a luxury

10- ???? She forgot to add number 10 :(

So as you can tell we are enjoying every minute of our time this week here in Uruguay. We were able to go and do some divisions in Young, where Hermana Wagner started her mission so that was an amazing experience. While there we met some crazy lady that wanted to teach us about all of her beliefs about life and marriage and it was really really interesting. We also got to visit the two families that I took pictures with and they are amazing!! I love being able to go and see all these different people and learn from them every single time.

While we were in our own area we got to do some cool stuff too!!

We taught our lovely investigator Ismael and we have wonderful news - he will be getting baptized this upcoming Saturday and we are super excited to be able to help him reach his goal!

Laura- she was not having a great day when we went to visit her but we were able to share more about the Atonement and prayer so hopefully she was able to have a better week and we will be able to see her more this upcoming week.

"YOUNG" got some letters

Belen- She is awesome!! We were able to talk to her about how she feels like she already has received an answer that all that we share is true and wants to learn more and get baptized!!

So I would say that it was a successful week here in Fray Bentos and we are looking forward to another crazy and wonderful week coming up because.... It will be the last full week that Hermana Wagner has as a missionary here in Uruguay!! dun dun DUN... We are going to be running around like crazy little missionaries to keep everything running smoothly so that we can get everything that we need to done...

Challenge- This week on Sunday we had a special conference with all of Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay!! We were able to hear from Elder Rasband and he shared something that really stood out to me. He talked about FAITH and how we need to ACT ON OUR FAITH, something that has been discussed a bunch recently...I would like to challenge you to be DOERS and not just Hearers of the word... ct upon the things that you read and know and I promise the Lord will bless you!!

Thank you for being awesome!!

I love you and love hearing from you all!!
