Come and See - He is Risen! |
I love being a missionary! I'm more grateful every day to be
here in Las Flores and know these people and live every day teaching the
gospel. I read in the Liahona this week David A Bednar's talk "Come
and See" and he says that every disciple of Christ is a faithful missionary.
That is so true with every member of this church. If we love the Lord and His
gospel, sharing it will come as a natural consequence. It is something so
simple as talking to others about what we believe and standing up for truth and
right. What have you all done this week to share the gospel? When was the last
time you prayed for an opportunity to do so? I believe EVERY DAY God gives us
an opportunity to share it if we look for it. Sometimes we make it more
complicated than it is. The good and solid truth is that is makes us happy when
we do it. We are better off thinking of how we can serve others. It is
something that I am so sure of.

my companion beats me up
NO TE ENOJES CONMIGO PORFAVOR

This week we finally got together as a branch and had Ward
Council. I was so happy I was singing afterwards! The members are really coming
together and are more excited about the Capilla Abierta in May. So am I. But
both me and my companion are a little nervous because transfers fall the
on 18th, one week before the Capilla Abierta, and chances are one of us
has gotta go. The thing is we have no idea who it will be haha it's a battle of
who will get to stay and who won't. On top of that, you all have heard about
the new mission Buenos Aires East no? (EAST, I thought you said WEAST... ) Well
that new mission is taking HALF of our mission, and whoever is going to the new
mission all depends on what happens these transfers. So that makes us pretty
ansy. It could be either one of us.

Glorious Food! |
Remember Corina and her boyfriend Sebastian? Corina wants to
be baptized but Seba is totally opposed to it, this guy is complete atheist and
he mocks us and critizizes us every time we teach them. Well Moses split the
red sea and then THIS happened: He came to church with us this Sunday! He was
grumpy the whole time but hopefully something entered. It just goes to show you
never know.
We had a lesson with Ismael- the elderly who came
unexpectedly to church this week - and he admitted that the only reason he went
was to look for a wife haha. SO CUTE but he accepted to keep taking the
lessons!
Nora is hanging in there. The truth is that she's fighting
that dang cigarette. We gave her another pep talk yesterday and she is going to
try to go today, just today, without smoking. We are calling her every hour or
so to see how she's doing.
This week I also ate about 3 or 4 plates of homemade french
fries for lunch haha but the truth is that I'm losing weight on the bike!
The Pensioneros brought us a heater this week cause we were
dying of cold at night. Its starting to get chilly here. :) I love the
fall!
