Dear People.
First off I have three shout outs.
Happy Birthday to... The best little sister ever
ERIN!!! And the best cousin ever JAKE!!!!
And a happy father`s day to the studliest dad that a son
could ask for!
So this week was pretty good. Yesterday was the best of
them all but I'll get to that later...
So this week I got to finally make waffles in Argentina.
I told a member that I made waffles before the mission, this family was baptized in December. We passed by a couple days
later and she had bought a waffle iron just so that I could cook them for the
family... I was so surprised! So I showed them and they loved them! Now every time I see one of the
kids of the family he is just dying to know when I am coming by to make
waffles again... Maybe I should just Waffles de Sabado (Saturday`s Waffles) here!
This last week me and my comp had a hard time finding new
people to teach for some reason. We were trying really hard to hit our goal of
find 6 new people to teach. Almost every day of the week we had no success.
Monday through Saturday we found only 1 new person. On Sunday we said a prayer that we
might be able to find some more people to teach. That day right after Church we
had lunch with some investigators to celebrate father`s day, we had an asado
(the BBQ of Argentina) and as we were there we had his daughter and her family
come in and eat with us unexpectedly! We taught them a little bit and found out
that they live really far away, but in 1 or 2 weeks they are moving into our
area! They were really receptive and have a lot of desires to go to church this
next week! There were 4 people that counted as an actual new, but they had 2
kids under 8 years, so I counted that as an answer to our prayers! I am so
grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord!
And yesterday we had the opportunityto go to the temple.
It was so awesome. Seriously love going to the temple, I regret not going more before I left. Because now we can`t go whenever we want and I am getting temple withdrawal!! I had some really cool experiences in the
temple yesterday. Haha I'm not gonna share them, but I'll just say that my
testimony of receiving revelation in the temple is a lot stronger. Then we had
a family night with the whole mission and the Hermana Robertson talked a lot
about how we should have a stronger faith and caracter (I can`t remember how to
spell it - haha).
I am going to the South
mission this next week! As in I will still be in LaFerrere but it will be part
of the south mission! I am not really sad, the majority of my mission buddies are coming
with me, except for everyone that was in my MTC group, and Elder Alexander, but I will definitely see most of them after the mission, I think all of them
are gonna go to BYU after the mish.
Well love you all! A challenge for the week would be to
go to the temple with your family or a session with those that can! Have a good
week!!

P.S. Sorry no pictures this week. I could not find my camera in the pench. But don't worry I know it is in there. I don`t really use it too much outside of the pench here
because it`s pretty dangerous, haha so yeah
