Dear family! 
I am doing great. How are you all? Thanks for the email. I love to hear how the family is doing! it sounds like you all are going to have a great Thanksgiving. I am excited for our Thanksgiving because a member of the 12 is coming to the MTC! What a great way to end my MTC experience -Because I leave to Argentina on Monday!!! 

So this week was a great one! It went by super fast! We got the "new bees" in our district. They are soo cute. It makes me think of my first few days here in the MTC. Oh boy! I would never want to live through that again. hahahaha Now I just have bigger adventures ahead!;) Argentina! So this week my companion and I got to skype a member that lives in Neuquen Argentina! I was kinda nervous because I was afraid we wouldn't be able to communicate very well. Tender mercy-my companion and I were able to talk to her and understand everything (most everything) hahaha that she said. That was a huge blessing for me because I feel so unready to leave. Everyone said oh once you have been in the MTC for 6 weeks you will be so anxious to leave.... Uhhh I must be doing something wrong because I don't want to leave yet. Yes I AM EXCITED TO teach the people of Argentina but ahhhhh I don't feel ready with the language at all. So being able to speak and understand the member from Argentina was a huge blessing. 

Yep! Friday I got my flight plans. I leave the MTC Monday at 6 am. Our plane leaves at 11:15 so I imagine I will call around 8. Is that going to be a bad time? So in our flight plans there is a leader of each group going to each mission. UHHH yay suprise- that is me! I am so nervous. I have to take care of 8 other girls going to Argentina and make sure they get on the right plane and give them their flight information....etc. I have no idea why I am in charge. hahaha I am the one who is probably the worst with Spanish so that is a bit of a worry, but it will be fine! We fly to Georgia then a 12 hour flight to Buenos Aires and then a 2-3 hour flight to Neuquen! Can you believe it? I am leaving in like 6 days! Ahhh pray for me extra this week please! :) hahahah but don't worry because I love new adventures and God will help me.

So my companion and I are the only ones in our district who are teaching a real investigator. It is good but also hard because when we prepare our lessons we want to make them really good so we spend sooooo much time on our lessons. Our last lesson we taught we prepared for 4 hours! We really wanted the investigator to understand the importance of faith and why she needs faith to receive answers to her prayers. We were reading Alma 32 with her and she stopped and asked us why the Book of Mormon is so boring! hahahah uhhhh.... After thinking and praying really hard I simply say in my broken Spanish because God wanted it to be simple for us to understand. It is amazing how God helps me know what to say in the exact moment we need it. 

So, Saturday I was reading my scriptures and I was feeling a little down on the language... I just wanted a nice little reminder that God was going to take care of me and help me. I decided to open up to a random scripture and read whatever I opened up to! And yes guess what I opened up to? D&C 100! It was all about missionary work and how the Lord will loosen my tongue! Then it said you have to have solemnity of heart... After asking and searching the word solemnity and not really know what the word meant, I decided that it meant "solid" in the gospel hahaha... well then guess what happened yesterday! So Sister Neil the General Young Women second counselor spoke to us in Relief Society and talked about that exact verse of scripture and defined solemnity! hahaha crazy. There are always so many miracles. 

Oh so there is a work-out class every morning at 6 am that only sisters can go to if they want. Well I kept asking my companion if she wanted to go with me... Finally I got all the girls to go with me this morning. It was so funny. It was like a cheesy zumba class with way crappy music. hahahah but at least I got 6 girls to go and now we have something to remember in the MTC! 

answers to your questions
hahaha am I getting enough rest?! uh i dont think I will ever feel like I am getting enough rest... But it is for a good cause.
I don't go back to the doctor now that I have my inserts-and they are working great! 
Um there are a few sicknesses like diarrhea but it isn't as bad as it was.
I have everything I need just the call phone for the airport would be nice.

Hope all is well. Tell Tyson I would love to hear from him ;) and tell Serenity I will write her back today and I will write my testimony in Spanish! Love you all and I know the church is true! 
Oh and mom that is so awesome you are helping out at Beehive homes. I wonder why it is so important for our family to be involved with that rest home because we always have someone working there! 
  
Love Hermana Bailey
PS sorry I had so much to write today so i dont have time to try and fix errors so hopefully you get the idea of what I am trying to say!
