Who´s has two thumbs and was able to make alfajors this week?

  This Hermana Missionary!

SUP MY PEEPS! 

I hope everything is going well back home. 

This week, as you can CLEARLY tell by the photos I did something beyond AWESOME! We were invited to go to an alfajor factory and see how they make them. We were also (clearly) allowed to participate in the process! Putting the dulce de leche on the cookies was a lot harder then it looks.  I missed the dulce de leche by a second or two a few times, and put a dollop right on the table. Lol! They had to clean up my mess. Also, trying to take photos while doing this was harder since we had to keep putting on and taking off our gloves. When we got to actually packaging the alfajors we had to put them on the conveyor belt, which was going a little fast. But we got down the rhythm. It was so cool! And the two guys helping us were very nice and patient with us. :) They also gave us two boxes of alfajors when we were done, so we will be enjoying them later. :) It was such a blast! If they lasted longer then two months I would totally bring them home to you guys. I´ll see what I can do... 

CHALLENGE! - I'm officially challenging everyone reading my blog. I would like to know who is reading it (and how you are doing. :D). So, your challenge is to write me a letter on Dearelder.com. It´s super easy and will surely brighten my spirits. Just sign up, click on 'write a letter', look up the Argentina - Resisencia Mission and send a letter to Sister Erin Griffeth.   How easy is that?  No postage at all! Also, If you could include your favorite scripture, and explain why, I would love you forever! Thanks! Have you accepted my Challenge? 

Most of you will love to know, that after a week of sickness, Hermana Parker is doing a whole lot better! Yeah! Now, I´m the one getting sick... BOO! But, I don´t think it´s that bad. I did get a sty in my eye (ick) this week, but it´s almost gone. I had a stuffy nose REAL bad, but last night I took a Zyrtec and it looks like that it might have just been an allergy thing, and all is well. So don´t worry! 

We are also doing a lot of catching up here. After a week stuck in our apartment, we had our days planned and booked to go visit the people we normally do. We have this one investigator named Ramon. He´s our most challenging one right now who has a baptismal date. He´s almost blind. He´s only been losing his sight for less then a year now, but thanks to his diabetes, it´s almost gone. The doctors tell him that if he gets his sugar under control, they can operate and see how that goes. So we are trying our hardest to teach him and get him to Church, especially since none of his family is interested. But we are hoping all will go well. He has a pretty big desire. 

Well, other then that, not much more happened this week. We are working really hard, and this week might be our last week together. Transfers are on August 8th and we´ve been together now for three transfers (including the one in Resistencia), but you never know what the Lord has in store for you. Thanks for all the prayers and for being a huge support. Love you, be strong, be safe, and trust in the Lord. 

Love Love Love, 

Hna. Erin Kaye Griffeth
