This week we had divisiones with the the zone leaders, and we had a blast teaching and finding new people to teach and help come closer to Christ. We found this one dude Julián and when we were walking in town today we ran into him again while we were trying to buy headphones for the video calls and we are going to try and teach him tonight. We found some other cool people that we are going to try and revisit this week and that will be fun! We also have divisiones with the AP´s this week so I hope we can continue to expand our teaching pool!
We had good lessons with Andrea and Suzana this week. We try to teach them about the Gospel, but they would rather teach us and talk our ears off haha! But as I learn to listen more, I not only improve my Spanish skills, but I also learn how to listen to the Spirit. Sometimes the Lord needs us to just sit there and listen, and feel for the Spirit on how I can help these people, and their needs as sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. It is tough, but I know everyday I am getting better, and developing Christ like attributes is one of the best things I have enjoyed about my mission so far.
GREAT NEWS! Norberto passed his baptismal interview and is on date for March 2nd! He is such a sweet old man and is suuuuuper funny just because he forgets a lot we teach him but we just reteach him and he loves it even more. There was a time we showed him a picture of Jesus and we asked him, "Who is this?" and he said..."No sé!" JAJAJAJA good ole Norberto. He is a 70 year old man with a 7 year old´s mind, reminds me of Benjamin Button haha. Super sweet and humble. He is the definition of coming unto Christ like a little child, having true faith. He told us he loves our church and wants to get baptized because no other church or their members would pass by and say hi to him, or really care for him. But we and some of the other members of the branch would visit him and check up on him regularly. When he told me that, it made me think just how important it is to be a minister to our brothers and sisters. Just a simple hey or is there anything you need help with really goes far with people who truly need it. As Chirst told Peter, "If you love me, feed my sheep." As a missionary that is our job, but I know we can all be Christ-like ministers if we take 5 minutes everyday to prayerfully look through our contacts and message at least one person, then we will be doing some really good things, I know it!!
Well, that´s all I got for this week. I love being a missionary and I love doing the Lord´s work here in Argentina. I love and miss my friends but I know I am needed here for special reasons. Take care yall, and Happy President´s Day!
