Hola familia sucia (you've all
gone campin fur a couple days haven't ya?) I've gotta say I
am jealous but at the same time I am not. I am literally loving every minute
out here in my beautiful country of Argentina.
This week started off
interesting haha we went to Ezeiza to room with the other 4 hermanas before the
District meeting on Tuesday but when we got there after a long day of travelin
they told us that their toilet had been broken for 2 days hahaha umm what do
you do with 6 hermanas without a bathroom? I've got it! Let's just sleep in the
church! So that's what we did! With permission of course. . .we decided that
the most comfortable room was the nursery (it's the only room with carpet. . .
dirty carpet, but it's carpet so i'll take it!) It was a fun sleepover and
totally worth it. I don't know if I had ever stayed the night in the church
before, I guess there is a first for everything!
Prayer time :) Haahahahahaha

Miracles of the week: On our way home in omnibus we started
talking to an elderly man whom we found out was a Jew. At first he didn't want
to have anything to do with us but once we started talking to him about the
Book of Mormon he got really interested! I just kept thinking about all the
prophecies that declare how the Book of Mormon will go forth unto the Jews by
the hand of the Gentiles. He gladly accepted it and said he was going to read.
I love living the scriptures!
Romelí (11) is perhaps the sweetest, smartest girl I know.
Have I told you about her? She reads the Libro de Mormón in English and Spanish
and absorbs every gospel principle we teach her like a sponge. I am so happy
this week because even though her parents don't support her in going to church,
Familia Berasain (members) offered to take her in their car, even in their
humble cirsumstances. Romel'i loved church and they have offered to go and pick
her up and take her every Sunday! I am so happy that she now has that support!
I know that one day she will be an incredible missionary.
So God works in misterious ways. Saturday my bike broke and
so we had to call taxi to get to church Sunday morning (we live forever away
from the church haha) Well while we were getting ready to go I felt a prompting
so strongly that I needed to call the taxi in that very moment. I though...
pshhh thats crazy cause we're not even ready to go yet..
#premadonnahere.....But then I felt it again.... "Call NOW" So I did!
The taxi arrived super fast and we had to fly out the door, but when we started
talking to the driver I quickly found out why we had to leave in that precise
moment. He started telling us about how he's read the whole Libro de Mormón,
that 2 Hermanas gave him one and in 6 months he read it ALL...He lives on a
deserted farm so no one was there to teach him about it, but he says he loved
every part. I almost didn't believe him but then he started to tell about all
the stories it contains! My jaw dropped, I asked him if he had prayed to know
if it was true.. he said that had never occurred to him! Apparently he missed
the last couple pages of Moroni haha! Well long story short we invited him in
that moment to have a tour of the church and he said that out of all the
churches he likes the mormon one the most haha. He also said that next week
he's coming to church with his family :) I love how the Lord works miracles!
I love every moment of my mission!
Even the hard ones! I love being a servant in the Lords hands! I love the Book
of Mormon. I want to be like the prophets of old like Nefi Enos, Ammon, Moroni,
Eter... I have such a testimony that we hold in our hands the fulness of the
everlasting gospel, and I love to declare it to my fellow argentinos.
