Busy Busy!


Hola!!!
So I got an e-mail from Andres to remind me that I haven't updated this in a while!! haha. So yeah... I have been crazy busy lately! So much Church and school stuff going on!! I am just taking three classes too! Luckily! haha. I am taking English, Chemistry and Biology. I love Chemistry, I don't mind English, but I HATE Biology. Like, REALLY hate. Anyway, I have to tests this week and then the next day I leave for Utah!!! I am going to what we call General Conference in Salt Lake City. It happens twice a year in April and October. It is broadcast ALL over the world!!! So if you guys want to see it.. or even just see what it's about.. you can do it online at lds.org OR on TV! (Not sure what channel it would be in Argentina haha). We get to hear the leaders of our Church speak and this year I actually get to BE there!! So if you decide to see what's it all about, look for me singing hymns! haha. I'll try to be loud so you can hear me :)
I am really really excited. I'm driving down and I'll spend three days there. I'll stay at my friend's house and get to see people I don't usually get to see! Life is SO different down there! But I love it soooo much! And it's sooo cheap to live there! AND there is a Mexican food place called Cafe Rio (I usually hate Mexican food by the way) and it is AMAZING!! So me and my friend are really excited to go there!! Since I have connections... I also got free tickets to see the BYU football game on Friday night!! Should be a really good time!!
Que mas.... me fui a la despedida de un misionero aca en Vancouver. But it was in the Spanish branch. I met some Chilenos. They were really nice!! They asked what my family thought about the Church and I told them I had brought dad to Spanish branch and he really liked it! (Mostly because they asked me to say the closing prayer in front of everyone on the microphone IN SPANISH at the end of Church, and I did... and he was really touched and impressed! haha.) And she's like "Bring him back sometime!!" It was so cute! I only wish I could!! Dad seemed so happy there because he knew it was what made me happy!!

Another thing I love about Utah... there are a lot more cute guys!!! haha. And more my type! (Skinny, tall, dark hair, dark eyes....etc) hahaha. Y Andres, the guy that hung out three nights with me wasn't JUST with me!! And I don't like him like that! But he is a really amazing guy! He came out again today too!

I just had a Church event tonight where we watched a really good movie they play in Salt Lake City at the Visitor's centre! It was really good! So many people were crying!! haha. So cute!

Anyway, I have a full day of studying tomorrow... so I better get to bed!!
I love you guys!! I really want to go visit for a month or longer in January! And of course, I want to be there para Navidad!!!

Keep me updated on yourself!! I love you all very much!!

Besos a todos!!

Preparing for the new season! :)


I start school tomorrow. And I had institute welcome week this past weekend!! It was fun, we had a dance, a BBQ and on Sunday we had church with all the young adults from Vancouver to Abbotsford!! It was really good!!!! It was also Fast and Testimony Sunday.. So i got to go up and bear my testimony! I love doing that! :)
I also met a guy thatserved his mission in Argentina!! He's really fun! And speaks sooooo well! (I mean, mostly because of the Argentine accent) And he knew Peques!!!! And there is something that is almost like Peques! He's going to show me! And we are having Matte sometime! Haha. We even got to talk about how much we live Dulce De Leche! Haha.
Also, like Caro said, I took my friend from Hat High! We were never friends in high school... Or in college... Even though we were in classes together, but then I saw him crossing the street in Burnaby.... And Facebooked him and found out he live here! And so does his sister, Kim! An old teammate of mine!! So he came out three nights in a row!! And his sister wants me to come over and have a BBQ with them! They are really sweet!!
I've been busy with work now as well... And super tired!! It'll be nice to sleep in tomorrow... I only have to be at school for eight thirty!! Hahaha.
I am soooooo excited for school!! I miss learning!! And a set schedule!! And I am taking classes that I haven't studied since high school, so I'm really excited for it!!! Definitely outside my comfort zone!!
I've been trying to listen and speak more Spanish too!! I downloaded a bunch of music from Argentina's top twenty!! And I love it! I also just finished the Book of Mormon, so now I'm reading it in Spanish now!! I realized how much I suck at reading In Spanish!!! Oh well, I'll get it someday!
This week.... I am just going to school... And working a ten and a half hour shift on Saturday!! Ughh.. But I have three days off until then!! :)
Oh and me and Caro went to donate blood a couple weeks ago... And I wasn't allowed because my iron was a little too low. (it doesn't mean anything serious, and my blood is fine... They are just worried that I might feel faint if they take it) so anyway, I wasreally upset about that... Because I like that opportunity to give... So it's been a test.... To make myself focus on myself sometimes... I can give water from an empty well. So now I'm taking multivitamin pills for women. The guy at the place recommended them so that I am ready to donate in 56 days, and to it helps for when I'm older... And I've been trying to now be cheap when I buy food at work!! And trying to just eat healthier!!
Love you guys and miss you!!!!!!!!

School!!



So today begins my last week of summer!! And, to be perfectly honest, I am not heartbroken at all! haha. I am so excited to start school again!! I feel like my brain has been rotting for months! It feels useless! ha.
So my school's name is Capilano University. It's the same Uni I went to last year. I'll be taking Chemistry, Biology, and English. Just some basic courses to increase my GPA for my applications to transfer to another University. If you don't already know, I plan on being a Physics teacher. And a coach. I really love sports and kids. And my coaches and teachers made a big difference in my life.
I hope I can do that for someone else.

One of my favourite things EVER is back to school shopping!! So I can't wait to get my new notebooks and textbooks! It gets me so excited for the new change! haha. And I just got my Mac fixed!! So now it's all ready for learning! haha.

Anyway, I start school on 8th! And a lot less of work at the airport. I am happy about not standing for long hours... but I'll miss not being in the airport environment all the time! :)

Love you guys very very much!!

Besos a todos!
