Hola to all, hope that everyone is healthy and happy! This week
(yesterday) I said goodbye to my companion, Hermana Guzman, who is
going home this week. I cannot believe that 6 weeks passed by so
quickly! But now, Hermana Bentley and I will stay together for a
couple days until Wednesday. Yesterday we received transfers and I
will be staying in Tunuyan and I'm going to train! I am very excited
and a little bit nervous too. I hope that I can help my new comp
adjust and learn and most importantly feel the beautiful spirit of
missionary work! So that's the big news.

IN other news, it is starting to get cold here in the mornings,so we
are approaching fall. My mission president sent an email about getting
flu shots, so I will probably go get one so I won't get sick. Pretty
everyone that we have talked to in the past week has said that they or
someone in their family is sick. Yay! I am excited for my first
experience with Argentinian healthcare.

Our week was kind of crazy because Hermana Guzman was getting ready to
go home and we were juggling doing work in our area and the area of
Hermana Bentley! But everything will start to calm down after
transfers, and then we are back in the groove.

This week, we made donuts! How you ask? We found a bakery with the
most delicious tortas fritas (tortas fritas are a fried bread sort of
thing, and they usually taste nothing like donuts but these ones do!)
and I used the frosting recipe from the Texas Sheet Cake and we topped
our hot tortas fritas with the chocolate frosting and boom: donuts in
Argentina style. They were soooo delicious.

Also, this Sunday was kind of different because the elections were
this Sunday and because voting is obligatory in Argentina, we only had
one hour of church so that everyone could go vote. Interesting huh?
But we had investigators come! Angela (who has been twice before), and
she brought her 2 sisters, and they came on their own! It was pretty
awesome, I am sure that she will get baptized and then her whole
family will follow!

Well family and friends, best wishes this week, remember to pray
always,and I love you all! Scripture thought: 1 Nephi 19:9

Love,
Hermana Pyper
