Do Chickens Have Large Talons?

 

"Do the chickens have large talons?" I wanted to ask him that so bad but I didn't know the word for talons. haha!

We found this yummy critter underneath our water filter haha..... We put him in a bottle and let him suffer for a week. We were gonna let him go down the Coca Cola river (We live right next to the Coca Cola factory) but we didnt have time. Maybe we'll give him a proper burial this week.

It was a good week like most of them out here are. We practiced our baptismal interview questions with Sebastian and Aylen in game form and it was super fun. Haha I loved hearing their testimonies as we asked them "who is Jesus Christ?" or "What did Joseph Smith do?"  before they had to jump to the next square. But my favorite moment of the week was when they had their real interviews by Obispo Shopfer. We honestly have the best Bishop ever. He is so kind, loving and welcoming to every person and he just makes them feel so important. He's the kind of Bishop I want ALL my investigators to meet! Cause once they meet him they're like sold! Haha he let us sit in in his office before the interview with little 8 year old Aylen for a little and talk together. I'll never forget that feeling, seeing little timid Aylen tell the Bishop that she wants to be baptised so she can follow the example of Jesus Christ.And then after the interview with a big smile on her face after the Bishop gave her a brand new hymn book and a candy. She was so happy. And Sebastian too. Their mom Celeste was so happy she cried when we all sat down in the church to sing together a couple hymns from Aylens brand new hymn book. The Bishop joined us and made us all laugh when he started to sing a solo with his half tone deaf voice haha. Their baptism will be next Sunday right after church. We decided to move it cause their dad wants to be there. I can't even explain how happy I am for them. I feel like they are my own family. And even though only Seba and Aylen are getting baptized right now, I know and hope one day they will be a family sealed in the temple because that is what the mom is striving for. I am so happy for them!!!!! 



Argentina skiessssss

We are finding new people to teach every week. On thursday we were looking for a refferral named Elizabeth but we couldn't find her house anywhere. We were asking all the neighbors, and they pointed us to another house and said there's an Elizabeth that lives there but shes just a young girl (we were looking for a mom). So we clapped on their house anyway and found a humble Familia Lopez. They invited US to come in and teach them in that very moment. They don't know much about the bible but believe everything that we taught them and are excited to read el Libro de Mormon. And then we also found another girl named Glesia who has been looking for the missionaries and wanted to read el Libro de Mormon again, and we found her cause I was hungry and wanted to buy an Alfajor at her Kiosco haha. It just shows that God knows what he's doing. 

My compa was really sick this week and we were stuck in the pench for a couple days without work. One day the water completely went out and we couldn´t leave cause she was bedsick. Very often here in the summer water can just cut out and one can be without it for who knows how long, and you always need to have backup cause it is dangerous in this blistering heat. Well we didnt really plan ahead and had almost no water . . .We didnt know what to do haha so we said a prayer and the next day we had it again. The Lords looking out for us. 

This week I'm trying real hard to learn how the Spirit works. Elder Henry B Eyering says that it really is possible to have the Spirit with you every day, every hour, even though sometimes it doesnt seem like it. I am striving to feel its guidance every day. At the end of the day I ask myseld "Have I felt the Spirit's influence today?" I invite you all to try it! The Holy Ghost wants to direct you every day and is waiting for you to just take a moment to ask, and then listen. I know God answers. 

I'M SO EXCITED TO GO THE THE TEMPLE THIS THURSDAYYYYYY!!!!! 

I just had to get that out. Its been six months without it and it will be almost a year afterwards.. Only the Spirit filled, busy mission can fill the gap I feel without going for so long. 

Funny moment of the week: Clapping in the door of the Familia Fernandez (remember them? the familia that was with us during skype?) and finding giant Hno Fernandez mowing the lawn in his little boxer underwear. These Argentinans have NO shame.
