THE ONE WHERE I WANT TO STAY

Hola hola todos!! Its y girl Hermana Anderson comin at ya from Uruguay!! I got some more updates for ya...first of all we still cant leave the house or look like missionaries...so that sucks but its okay we still find ways to teach...but almost 10 months ago in the CCM i had a very strong impression when i was packing to come out here to Uruguay that something was going to happen in my mission but i brushed it off because i thought i was just nervous...in January i had a dream that i ended up in another mission because something had happened here and i had to get relocated...well 2 nights ago i had the same dream and yesterday we got word that we'd be going back home to be relocated to another mission...i dont want to go home or go to another mission. I want to stay here. But i know the Lord was preparing me for this and that ha has a plan for everyone. The mission is gonna be different, i have no idea where im going still but i know that where ever i go is where im supposed to be, so i have no pictures from this week because welp ive been stuck in Resort Corona AKA quarentine but you its fine...im just tired of not going much of anything. Here i have a picture from last week 1. This thingy thats supposedly musical from Austria 2. I lied i do have a picture from this week but i was in the middle of eating haha so dont judge me haha i was really just proud of my card tower haha

THE ONE WHERE THE RONA GOES CRAZY

Hola hola amigos!!! We have permisiรณn to write twice a week now buuuutttt...Im alive and still rona free solo para que sepan but theres been a lot of changes!!!! Like its actually wild...so first of all theres a lot of nothing been going on with the work because well haha everyone is scared of the virus so everyone cancelled on us AND we as missionaries are on a lil "cuarentine" where basically we cant leave the house other than to go to the church building for video lessons and to go to the store for food if we need it! Also we can no longer use our nametags because people know we're foreigners and they get real sensitive around us and we have to use normal clothes!!!! We cant even use missionary clothes!!! Not even in video charlas can we use our nametags and missionary clothes!!! And i have to walk around with the copy of my passport incase anyone stops me like this whole thing is a lil wild BUT its okay...the last time a huge global freakout happened the restauracion took place (if youve read at least the first chapter of saints you already know that) so i actually have no fear of this virus thing cause i know something huge and essential to our preparation is about to happen!!! Its literally all about the faith so keep strengthening yourself and everything will be okay!!!! See yall on monday!!!! Hermana anderson

THE ONE WITH THE "PANIC"

Hey hey gente!!! Hows everyones week been??? Its been a wild one here haha we had multizone conference that was sรบper dope haha we basically just talked about how we can be safe from preventing coeonavirus even though at that point it hadnt gotten here yet, then the next day we got an announcement from the church that said we cant have sacrament meetings or do sessions in the temple for now and we were like okay but it still hasnt gotten here yet...well...the next day after that wecalled called and told that there were 4 people who have the virus...now theres 8 that have it...and uh everyone is going nuts because bueno, first of all this country is about the size of Georgia and they dont have the medical technology to do much of anything...so there legit no hand sanatizer, no tissues, mouth covers (tapabocas) i dont actually remember how to say that in english, theyre starting to run out of toilet paper fast which kills me from laughing because i never thought toilet paper would be the reason for a war in the store haha but its hilarious tbh but tbh we all good out here cause the members out here got us using these face thingies and gloves lollllllll Also i died my hair ๐Ÿคท‍♀️ not that it makes much of a difference lol but i like it :) anyways i hope yall have a great week Con amor Hermana Anderson 1. Stylin the new hair 2. Flexin 3. Corona free 4. We went to "Austria" un Uruguay

THE ONE WITH DOCTOR KATIE

Hey yall! This week has been a wild one frfr we found some really good people to teach and we went to the temple with Asusena!! For those of you who dont know, we've been teaching Asusena for a while now and shes been really progressing these last couple weeks! We put her on date to get baptised this month so we've been really focusing on her because we're getting closer and closer to that date, this week we passed by her house for a visit and she pulls out all this medical stuff and shes like i need help...first off im no doctor haha but i just know how to do some things haha and turns out everything she needed was something i knew how to do! I took her blood pressure with the cuff and a stethascope (i done forgot how to spell that), helped her check her blood sugar and then because they were too high i had to give the woman an insulin shot....I GAVE A SHOT!!!! Tbh i hate getting shots but it was really fun to give one haha like i actually really enjoyed getting to use my lil medical skills in real life and not just read about how to do them! But then on saturday we took her to the temple and she LOVED IT!!!!! This woman is probably the custest lil abuelita ever and she calls me the chiquita because im apperantly too skinny haha but it is what it is hahah not much of anything else happened this week but i hope everyone has a great week!!! Con amor Hermana Anderson 1. The River! 2. Asusena jajaja 3. The 3 muskateeres (also forgot how to spell that) 4. Anotha one from the temple

And so we started talking to him because we're nice haha and then this man started talking about some pretty wild stuff and tried to kiss me at one point but then elder Fernรกndez saved me haha and like pushed the guy away haha and then the guy was like hey i was trying to marry her ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ and then we changed the subject and said which bus are you trying to take and he was like that one and he started pointing at the one that was leaving and we were like well your gonna miss it!! And well he missed it and was like it doesnt matter, i just like the chica and so the elders like hed him off so us hermanas could get on the bus and then they quick got on the bus too but ๐Ÿ˜ญ it was so crazy this man hahahahahahaha Also this week we found a goat haha it my first goat in the mission haha but we named it bili!!
