So, you've probably been wondering if I'm still alive or not and the answer is yes, it's just that the time goes by super fast to email.
As you can see in the subject line I am no longer in 25 de Mayo, transfers were 3 weeks ago and I came to Ituzaingó 1! I'm back in the city and boy is it different! The first few days transitioning from riding a bike all day to walking all day were a little rough, Let's just say I had forgotten that things like hamstrings and calves and feet existed but they let me know they were still there!
Right now we have and investigator that's super great! Her name is Marina and yeah, she's amazing! She's already read the whole Book of Mormon! There's just one slight problem: Her boyfriend needs his divorce to finalize so they can get married and we don't know how long that's going to take and since they live together she can't be baptized until they either get married or he finds somewhere else to live while they wait for everything. If you could pray for her that everything can come through, that would be wonderful! We've got a few really great families here! It's so weird to be in a ward again! And with members who have served missions or been members their whole lives! It sure changes the dynamic of things!
Ah! I forgot to say anything about my new companion! Her name is Hermana Poblete and she's from La Serena, Chile! Aaand I'm training! It sure is an interesting learning experience. I think I'm learning more than she is! She's super great and prepared!
As far as the other half of the subject line goes, I hit my halfway mark on Friday! Yup that's right folks! It's been 9 months since Hermana Cheever left her house and entered the mission! I have learned a ton and I love the mission so much!!
Now for the most exciting part of the week - GENERAL CONFERENCE! I was able to watch 3 out of the four sessions in English and I was so grateful for that because I love to hear the talks from the general authorities in their actual voices and how it was originally written! The spirit was so strong and talk about a focus on missionary work! This conference basically taught us the Restoration and Plan of Salvation with a whole lot of faith and missionary-ness thrown in! I especially loved the talk given by Elder Evan A. Schmutz. The Spirit was so strong in the little room where we were watching that I felt like I could basically reach out and touch it! I encourage you all to go back and read or listen to that talk because I'm pretty sure it's a life changer! Well, I love you all! Never forget your divine heritage (as Elder Rasband taught us)! The gospel's true, God loves you!
-Hermana Cheever
