Dear Family,
Well, I am loving it here in Tandil!! (you should look it up online) Its a beautiful city and it reminds me a lot of the País Vasco and Santander! Its green and there are tons of hills. It is such a change from the heat and dryness of Bahia Blanca. The similarity to Cantabria so amazing! No wonder why there are tons of Basque influence here. Men and youth walk around wearing the boina (the basque berret). And guess what?? there are like 10 Zubeldias that live in my area!!! I have to go and contact them. We will see what happens. Eveyone here just loves my last name and they always say they know someone named Zubeldia. Right now I know there is one that is a lawyer that lives next door to the fire station. This last week we (four sisters) have been living in the Elders apartment. There was a problem with our apartment and so we were moved to the elders apartment and they were moved to the zone leaders apartment. From the day I got here I have been living out of my suitcase haha! Because it is an elders apartment, guess what we did all last p-day?? yep, we cleaned all day! How grateful I am that my brothers are relatively clean (haha, just kidding).

However, since we live outside of our area we need to take a bus to our area to work each day. Both my companion and I are new to the area and so trying to learn the bus system has been kinda difficult. We have gotten lost a couple of times.
On Saturday we found a woman and her two kids and guess what...when we went to pick her and her family up for church they were all ready and waiting for us. Her kids loved church and made friends. She said church was really long but that she liked it. We are going to visit her again on Tuesday.
I hope you are all doing great! From the emails of mami and papi I hear that you are all having a great week!!! I love you all so very much. Know that I am doing well and am having a great time serving the Lord!!!
Te quiero!!!
Sarah, have a fantastic time at the temple with mami and papi!!!!
