Hola
Familia!
What
a crazy week though!! haha we had to travel to Rosario this week because my
companion had to do some of his visa paperwork. We lost 2 full days of work
because of that.. But we have still been trying to work harder each day! This
week we have started doing something new that we love! We have been teaching
lessons in the street and in peoples front doorways. This has been super
productive because I just start teaching about the restoration before they can
deny us and it gives the spirit more time to testify to them! We were able to
teach 4 lessons in 1 hour. This is what Pres. Zanni wants us to be doing.
First
off, mom I want to wish you a happy birthday this Sunday!! Enjoy it! You are
turning like 88 this year right? ;)
Like
I said, we went to Rosario this week. i called D and R and they came
and picked us up and we showed Elder A the city a little bit. It was sooo
sick, we went to the Monument at night and it was all lit up with blue lights.
I will send pictures! :)
We
have still been teaching M and N! They are doing great, we are
trying to help them receive their answer soon because they are a little bashful
of going to a church that is different than the one they go to. We just need to
help them come once and then I know they will love it! They have been
reading a little of the BOM and liking it. We were able to teach them about the
Plan of Salvation this week and I loved testifying that they can have an
eternal family. N had a brother who died who was not exactly doing the
best things with his life and we were able to tell her about the Spirit World
and how he will still have a chance to accept the Gospel and the Savior. She
really seemed to feel the spirit in that lesson. I love those two!
We
were not really able to find a lot of our investigators this week because of
all the time we lost with the trip and we also had District Conf. (Stake Conf.)
this weekend. We are excited to get to work for the whole week this week!
Like
I said, we had District Conf this weekend. Pte. Zanni had to come up to
Concordia to speak and preside over the conference so we had interviews with
him while he was here. He is incredible!! I love that guy so much. He is
absolutely not afraid to tell you how it is. haha he spoke in the conference
and it was so great. He talked about how much Satan hates the family, and how
he spends all day long trying to destroy the family. Eternal families are his
main point, he always says "I have my wife for all of eternity, so as long
as I follow the spirit I don't really care what happens. If they hold a gun to
my head and tell me to do anything that is against the teachings of the Lord.
They will have to kill me because no one and nothing will cause me to lose my
salvation or my eternal companion." In our interview he put himself in the
role of the Lord and made me make a promise with the Lord. The Lord and I
decided that if I work hard He will give me 4 people per month for the rest of
my mission to baptize. We will be turning it up, I want to find those 16
people!
I
got the package this week! It was perfect, thanks so much mom for putting it
together for me. I have already put it all to use! :)
Well I love all of
you guys so much. I am trying to stay focused on why I am here and looking for
ways to be better. I am not even close to perfect but I feel happy. I am trying
to be positive, I received all of the Ruckus Crew letters in dearelder this
week and they all really give me a lot of motivation to be happy, positive and
work harder.
READ
THE BOM EVERYDAY!!! :)
