Hola Familia pequeña ahora sin Chavmanfez,
Chavyyyyy The day has arrived! Go do work and make us
proud!
My first week in this beautiful place has been a great one.
I can't tell you how amazing the ward of Ciudad Evita is! The members are MANY
and all of them are so willing to work with us! It is something that I forgot
had existed in my 6 months in Las Flores, but I love this side of
missionary work now with the support of a mission leader and so many willing
members and YOUTH! My first Sunday here was a dream- they asked me to give one
of those "2 minutes before sacrament meeting . .. surprise!"
talks and I just expressed my love for each one of them cause they are
amazing! There was also a ward baptism and the entire ward came!  |
| The Wood family! They
came to our ward on Sunday and the mom just happened to be from Eager, Arizona, and the Elder going home just happened to be in Dallin Merrell's mission! They went home the same week, small world! |
I had an
awkward "Wait I'm northamerican" moment with the Wood family who came
to our Sacrament meeting and I greet all the sisters with a kiss on the cheek!
Haha I forgot that that`s not normal at home and I think I scared them. Also
when I wanted to tell them "Que les vaya muy bien" or "que
tengan buen viaje" I awkwardly muttered out "That you have a great.
.. travel! haha I felt like Brian Reagan "YOU TOWWWWW"
I am convinced that I'll be coming home a little gordita
chubby for 3 main reasons:
1. Bye bye to my bike and hello to mud truckin
2. Our neighbors that live below us complain when we do
excersize in the morning so we're constrained to stretching and "jumping
jacks"
3. Every single home offers us hot chocolate and
cookies.
What can ya do.
Saturday we went to the TEMPLE to do contacts outside of it
and we had some good results! It is so awesome to be able to walk right up to
these Argentines, point to the temple and ask them if they know the purpose of
the building, and then to testify that that is one of two places in Argentina
where families can be sealed together forever. People love to hear about the
idea of an eternal family, because it is something that we all accepted before
we came to this earth. I love having the priveledge of being so close to the
beautiful Buenos Aires temple! It is such a blessing! I'll probably be saying
it again and again because I just feel so grateful!
A cool miracle of the week: We were walking in the street on
Saturday when we got a phonecall from a middle aged man who found our number on
a card and called us wanting to know when church started the next day. He said
he always wanted to go to our church meetings or talk with the Elderes but
never had the guts I guess. Well on Sunday he decided to go for real and walked
25 blocks in order to arrive and he absolutely loved every minute of church! We
sent him home with a Book of Mormon and lots of church books haha the sad part
is he's not in our area but I love it when in stead of us finding people,
prepared people find us.
The truth is we don't have a lot of investigators but we
soon will because we are talking with everyone! Yesterday we found a family
playing volleyball in the park and we joined them. It was a glorious moment
because as I was testifying of the Apostacy and Restoration I was bumping,
setting and spiking. Double time.
That's all for my week. I am excited to hear about yours!
Especially Travis's first one in the mish.
Con amor,
Hermana Flake
