HOLA familia!
How is everyone doing there in the heat? Don´t worry, I am right there with you! So some sad news of this week….our escogido
(the one that was ready for baptism) moved into the Elders area! We had worked so hard to get her to the point
but then they just up and moved. It would be ok if we could actually find her
but the elders have had a really hard time... we keep praying for her and fasting
hoping that they would find her. Hopefully
I will have more to say next week on that subject! But everything is great here in Resistencia.
We have some progressing investigators who have fechas for the beginning of
June. We are hoping that we see progress
in them and they see the importance of the baptism as we try hard to teach
them.
So something crazy happened. I started reading our heritage
(the history of the church) which is a miracle because I absolutely hated the
church history after dad made us read that Mormon Batallion book my junior year
of high school. Sorry dad, but summer
plus waking us up at 6 in the morning to read that dang book was not my
favorite moments lol. Anyways since then
I have never been interested in understanding more about church history, but
this week during studies I started to read it and I love it. I am starting to
realize how amazing those Pioneers were and how much more faith they have than
me. I caught myself daydreaming about having people race to the river to be baptized
when I realized I CAN…I just need to give it my all. Did you know the most successful
missionary didn´t even have shoes to his name or a suit!? I thought that was
absolutely nuts but it helped me realized there is so many more important
things in this life then money and the comfort of home. It was all about the gospel
for them. That is what I want all of it to
be about for me….the gospel and these people. I hope I can successfully do that
by the end of my mission. It´s just a challenge because I hold on to my human
self. BUT I know the lord is there for me and for that I am grateful. Well, love you all! and talk to you on Sunday!
P.S. If possible, I
would love to talk to Tyler! I REALLY REALLY want to talk to Tyler.
