Eternal families

Hello sweet family! Happy November 10th! It looks like today is going to be a great day.

Well, we had transfers. Again. Every 6 weeks pass by in 7 seconds. It just blows my mind. But I am here with my new companion, Hermana Lopez, also from Argentina! I love los Argentinos. They´re honestly the best. About 10 months ago, I met Hermana Lopez. She was in Cieneguilla for a little bit of the time that I was there, and we became good friends. We said that we hoped to be companions one day, and look at that! Funny how things work out. She also finishes her mission in January. Crazy, right?

We´re doing really well, happy as always and lovin´ the work of Salvation! Even though I love Hermana Lopez,it was really hard for me to say goodbye to my other companion, Hermana Tacconi. We came to be best buds, and I actually cried quite a bit when we said goodbye. But it´s not goodbye...just a "see you later."

Hermana Lopez and I, along with some other sisters, have an interesting assignment this transfer. We´re working with Family History in a few stakes, helping the members to look up the ancestors to be able to do the temple work for them. That´s a huge part of what we believe in the church...the importance of doing our ordinances, then doing them for the people who weren´t able to do it themselves, giving them the opportunity to accept the gospel as well. It´s something that I´ve always wanted to learn more about - Family History. And here I am, learning all about it! It´s so cool. And this week, we just happened to go to the temple TWICE! It was so awesome! We went as a mission, then Hermana Lopez and I went to see a young couple from Cieneguilla get sealed. When we go to the temple, it´s not like going to the church on Sunday. When we say "sealed", it means that they are going to be together forever. It´s part of the plan that God created for us, to live in eternal families. I know that mom knows all about it, but dad and Daniel, it´s something very special and important. I attached some pictures so that you can see! On Saturday, we also got to see a few other members from Cieneguilla. It was so great. We were both so excited.

Sorry, my brain is filled with lots of things. I will write a better letter next week, but I just want you to know that we are super happy! Working hard and getting tan/sunburned. I love you so much!! Have a great week!!

All my love,
Hermana Scott
