Sunday post
Suddenly a huge desire to write hit me on the head, so here I am again.
Still in english.
It has been 2 years since we moved to Argentina. It was/is hard? Well, some times it is... You know I am the type of person who gets attached very easily and if I love you it is hard for me to let go of you... So yes, I fell in love with USA, so yes, it was/is hard to let it go... oh man.. maybe thats why I decided to change my blog to the english language.
Any way, the last two years have been full of emotions. I mean... it's not every day you move to the other side of the world and actually I have done it twice. We practically sold our entire house, we brought every thing in 7 suit cases.
To start over was the fun part, get furniture, kitchen stuff, etc. But finding a school was a little stressful plus doing all the paper work for the school and the practice.
But like I said is has been two years since the begging of this crazy adventure.
Our last year in the states we lived with Ben's parents and grandma in Parowan, Utah. Like I said before, I get attached to things or people I love and that year I got more attached to them, specially Ben's grandma. She was from Argentina so I liked that we were able to speak in argentine castellano (spanish). She came to visit our home very often when we lived in Las Vegas, so I got to listen to her stories, complaints and words of love for her family and my kids.
It was very sad for me having to say good bye (for now) to her when we moved to Argentina, but by saying "I'll see you in a year" I relieved my pain. Sadly I never got to see her again since she passed away last July.
Things happened so fast. How? I don't know... I feel happy I was able to send her a letter before her passing. You know that feeling you get when you really tried to do your best and you feel happy that you gave it your most? I felt that way, I have always tried to give her my best. So even thou I wasn't able to say good bye I felt peace and love but also sadness. Luckily I had a friend that helped me while going through that moment of sadness.
A few months after moving I got called as the Relief Society president in my church ward. What can I say...? I didn't spect it. I didn't feel I could do it. I didn't feel qualified. But I took on the challenge. What, could it be harder than moving to a foreign country at the age of 21 not knowing the language and not knowing how to drive? I mean... life is a challenge.
And here I am still serving in the Relief society and trying to do my best. Not being perfect but loving the people and getting attached to them, thats the way I am.
Kids got used to the language very fast, also the school and the different culture. They kind of had an idea of how Argentina was before we moved since we came to visit every two years and also I am their mom, so it runs in their veins.
Maybe I'll start writing in Spanish again, we'll see.
