WEEK 7!!

Dear Family,
I am leaving the CCM here in Argentina on the 16th and heading for URUGUAY!! I am so excited! So I will tell you about my new comp. Her name is Hermana Dana. She is 32 years old. She understands little english but doesn't speak it, so we only speak spanish. She is helping me, but I feel I have miles to go with the language. Anyway Hermana Dana was married for four months and her husband passed away. It's been a year since that happened. I told her that I had a friend that happened to, and that she will be able to help so many others learn about the plan of salvation. Also there are two North American sisters now! Mom remember when we were at the temple and the guy at the front desk said that a girl that worked for him was going to my mission, it's Hermana Shaw. And also Hermana Walton, she will be a best friend from the mission for sure!I love her and we have so much in common and get along so well.She is super bubbly and and outgoing, she has lifted me here in the CCM. It's crazy how one person can lift you by having a positive attitude! We will go out proselyting this Saturday again in the city, I am excited to see where we will go. I'll keep you posted! My testimony is growing so much! The church just changed to a new program for missionaries where we teach a progressive investigator.... our teachers. So we are the first ones doing it . It is a lot of work because you are preparing all day for these lessons, but it is a good experience because you get to teach a lot! Anyway things are good! Let me know how you are all doing!! I love and miss you all so much! One more week in the CCM I can't even believe it. My district is getting a little trunky and can't wait to get out into the field. Love you all so much~ CHAU! Hermana Sayama LOVE YOU FAM!

So I have decided I am going to BLOG... FOR REAL! I alway am looking at all my friends blogs and everytime I do I just think... there is no way I can do this. I have no clue what I am doing! haha So bear with me you die-hard bloggers!


The LATEST and GREATEST for me has been recieving my mission call to......

Montivideo West, URUGUAY!!

I have such a wonderful family that I love so much and wonderful friends I was able to open my mission call with! I couldn't be more grateful for these people in my life! They have molded me into the person I am today! They are the ones who have been with me the WHOLE time in making this BIG decision!!! Love you!

This is my family.... We opened my call after my little brother Trace's basketball game! He is such a little stud!

I promised Kim that I would update...since she created this for me back in OCTOBER!.... and here I am updating! I can't even believe it! All I can say is this year is just flying by and as you can see I am not only making progress as far as blogging goes but I am also spending my summer as an intern at Sports Academy working with the personal trainers and getting certified as a personal trainer myself. I am so excited to be a trainer and put my knowledge as an Exercise Science major to the test! To all of you faithful bloggers...count me in!
