Hola friends!
First off, HAPPY
MOTHER'S DAY to all you mothers out there. Mother's day doesn't come to
Argentina until October, but we can pretend, right?
So this week was
pretty pleasant. We spent Tuesday 'relaxing' in the hospital. We got
there really early hoping everything would be running punctual, but it was all
quite the opposite. And so we waited and waited and then finally got in but the
doctor then sent us to a different one. Then we went to wait for the different
doctor (a plastic surgeon to be precise) to get in and for our number to show
up on the screen. And when we got in, the doctor started gouging into his hand
with tweezers. He got something out, but it seems as though there's still more
in there, soooo we'll have to go in again tomorrow!
Then on Wednesday we
had Zone Conference in San Fernando! We talked about how we need to talk to
more people and the best and most direct way to do it. The conference was
complete with real-life practices, in the street. And my companion was
Presidente Smith! So that was pretty special. We were only outside for like
thirty minutes but it was pretty intense. We found some pretty cool people
though so we passed on the referrals to their respective areas.
Then came Thursday.
Shortly after leaving the apartment that morning we got a call from our
district leader, telling us that he had just gotten off the phone with
Presidente Smith, who had promised morning for the zone if we talked with as
many people as we could. So we were like, ''well, okay!''. We decided to go and
start contacting in the more commercial part of our area, and we just started
talking! And we shared six Books of Mormon! We had to actually finish early and
go back to the apartment and get more Books of Mormon because we used all the
ones that we were carrying!
And then Sunday was
full of MILAGROS. It started by having a possible investigator going to Church
with us. He was a contact that we did a few weeks ago, but was always really
busy with work and so we never could go by to teach him. But our ward mission
leader (seriously Hno Soria is the best one I've ever had) told us to try and
talk to him again and we did and he came to church and it was a really good
experience. If he is able to change his work schedule, he is going to get
baptized. AND THEN we ate lunch with the Arce family, which is the best and
made me ñoquis because they know that I love them, and then I got to talked to
my mom and company. AND THEN later that day we were walking after an
appointment just fell through with Hno Soria when I saw a man seated by the
side walk, and I received the impression to talk to him. We went over to talk
to him and he is really cool. He is around my age and is going through some
tough things in his life right now and wants to get on the right track. And
while he was talking to us, both my companion and I felt impressed to invite
him to be baptized, and he accepted! So that was awesome. Let's just hope all
goes well from here!
Well folks, That's
about it for this week. My companion and I are getting along really well, and
we are working so that we can see more progress in our area. I don't feel like
it's really getting near the end! There is still so much to do! I'll try to
keep one keeping on, don't worry.
See you all soon
enough!
