Buenas!
It has been a great week! We were able to find a lot of
people this week that I think should be able to progress well.
Unfortunately I won´t be here for their baptisms :( but that doesn´t
matter!! We MAY have one before I leave. I don´t think I have told you a
lot about Yaqui (Jackie).. she is a 20 year old who lives with her 17
year old boyfriend and their 5 month old baby. She is progressing
really well and wants to be baptized. She came to church all on her own
yesterday! She has progressed a lot and feels really really good and
has already recieved a lot of answers that it´s where she needs to be.
Her boyfriend and her also want to get married, which is also a big
plus!! Now we just gotta help them decide to do it now instead of wait
so that she can be baptized. The work is moving along and things are
looking up here!
So here in Argentina they don´t celebrate
Thanksgiving, but I wanted to write a little bit in honor of that today!
