Family and Friends--
Well.... this week was super crappy. All of our progressing investigators dropped us and we seriously have NO ONE to teach. We get rejected everyday and no one wants to talk about, and it has been
super hard. I am kind of thinking about coming home early.
APRIL FOOLS!!!!!
Hahaha, I am so funny. Ok ok so that was a really bad joke, hahah but they don`t celebrate April Fools here so I had to do something since I didn`t get to play any jokes on Sunday! :) No.. things are actually
going great! Although it is true that we really don`t have any progressing investigators haha things are great. It seems like we find some really great people and then within days they drop us. But we do have one lady who is progressing and we are really hoping and praying hard for her. We are working hard though and things are great!! I am learning so much and loving everyday!
AWKWARDS INCOMODOS Y CHISTOSOS
-one for this week... so it`s always really fun when people realize that you`re from the US and they think they are so cool and start throwing out the few english words that they know. This week we walked past a group of 10 year old boys playing soccer and they started calling out stuff. As usual, we kept walking pretending like we didn`t hear them. However, I couldn`t help but bust out laughing when one of them yelled `Hey baby!!`. hahahah. Yes... hey baby, from a 10 year old. Only in Argentina!!
AWESOMES
-so our one progressing investigator, Myriam, is awesome. She has a lot of doubts but she is also very sensitive to the spirit and can feel the truthfulness of the gospel. The other night we went to see
her late at night because we were worried because we hadn`t heard anything from her for a few days and she didn`t show up to an appointment and hadn`t been answering our calls. We came just at the
right time. She was really struggling and satan has been working on her so hard... putting tons of doubts in her mind. We had a nice little chat with her and then we closed with a prayer. While I was saying the prayer, I felt the spirit really strongly and I could just feel so strongly how much our Heavenly Father loves her. I prayed for her, and we all felt the spirit, and after the prayer I saw that she was crying. She told us that she could feel the love so strongly, and that she really needed it that night. That moment in that night will always stay in my mind. When we are in tune with the spirit, we are able to be there for people when they really need someone. More and more I am falling in love with the people here and really recognizing God`s love for each of them, for me, and for everyone.
Another awesome would of course be CONFERENCE!!! It was so awesome! I loved every minute and it flew by way too fast. A few highlights from my favorite talks...
-what we do on a day-to-day basis is our biggest sacrifice
-acting on even a twig of faith allows God to grow it
-we must not be weary in what we do.. we are doing a grand work!!
-does my countenance reflect the Savior`s light?
-following the spirit=doing the Lord`s will... it is the key to
success in all areas of our lives!
-there is NEVER justification for resentment
-`don`t judge me because I sin differently than you` (one of my
favorite lines from conference!)
-it is the merciful who will receive the mercy from God
-where your treasures are, there will your heart be also. What is
most important in life? And am I devoting all of my thoughts, actions,
and time on these things?
-that which comes from above is SACRED... we must take care of it and
take advantage of it, or we won`t receive it anymore!
-does my life reflect my love and devotion to the Savior?
Just a few little notes that I wrote down in my agenda from my conference notes. I especially loved the talks by President Monson, Elder Scott, Elder Holland, and others! I hope you all were able to watch all four sessions and if not.. go and look them up now! I promise you will receive inspiration and things that will help you with whatever trials you are passing through right now.
This week my companion goes home so I will get a new one this Wednesday. Time is passing by SO fast. This Friday I may or may not hit my 9 month mark. YIKES!
Bueno.. I hope all is well with everyone! LES QUIERO MUCHO!!
