I am 100% happy and know exactly why I am here

Familia,

I can't believe that its already October!! The time is flying! I seriously can't believe it. So this week was a great week. We had a lot of cool teaching experiences and met a lot of people from different places such as; Venezuela, Germany...and Argentina. haha ok obviously that last one but its actually pretty cool how many people from different places are here in Capilla Del Monte.

So I had a pretty cool experience yesterday. We were talking to Leo and Tati and along came the boyfriend of the mom of Leo. (side note: he knows English and usually speaks English with me...its pretty cool). But anyway he pulls up on his motorcycle and within the first 2 seconds of him getting off his bike and talking to me in English I could tell that he was incredible drunk. (Don't drink...its disgusting what it does to you.) So he is only talking to be in English...I don't know why. But anyway the point of this story is that he asked me why I am here, and if I was happy. I got to bear my testimony to him in English and tell him that yes I am 100% happy and know exactly why I am here. It felt so good to bear my testimony in English. The spirit was so strong (at least for me) and It was an even bigger testification that this church is true. I actually missed a little bit bearing my testimony in English. It was hard talking to him because he was so waisted but I was strengthened by my own testimony and I ended up giving him a Book of Mormon and telling him to read it and stop drinking because its going to ruin his family. I was actually really blunt with him (I surprised myself a little...haha because usually I'm not like THAT direct) But I just bore testimony to him about families and how important they are and how blessed we are to have families.

I love my family so much. I am so proud of every single one of them even the little nugget that will be coming down to earth the same time that her aunti Karissa will be coming home. Ah!!!! Maybe she will spend her last few months in heaven here with me in Argentina :) and come out speaking spanish. haha (ok ha I just cracked myself up with that last one because I thought of the little baby coming out saying "sol"...the way that Dallin says it. ok and ps. Dallin. You were right it's sOl. hahah). Ah man. Seriously every day on the mission I am more and more grateful for you guys and the examples that you are to me. And not only for me but for everyone here in Argentina...everyone knows you guys. You are pretty famous here.

This email isn't very long but its jam packed with my love and gratitude for you guys.

Congratulations to all of my family and friends that are getting married. I expect you all to save me a little piece of your cake since I can't come to the wedding. Or at least like a napkin or something. :) and then after I get back,you'll all have to get BACK into your dresses so I can take a picture with you and your dress. Ah! I love talking about the temple with people and all of the incredible blessings that we can receive when we go to the temple and are worthy and keep our covenants. I love love love the temple and miss it with all of my heart!!!!
I love you all so much and wish you the best week.
Take care!
Enjoy the little things!

Love, Hermana Bosco
