This week we did service with a smile! We helped paint the house of one of the members here and it was a little difficult because we had to scrape all the moss off first, and that took forever! But we are going to have to come back to actually paint this weekend haha it was crazy. We also did service for our investigators, Maxi and Araceli. They are awesome!!!! They were contacted a couple of months ago and love church! They are working on remodeling thier sidewalk in front of their house, so we have been helping them do that. This week we broke a bunch of rocks so that he can mix them into concrete, and we did so while listening to rock music (lots of Def Leopard haha) it was funny! We had a noche de hogar with them and we watched the Restoration movie, and Maxi said that everything started to make sense with the Book of Mormon, the prophet, and everything. He has read almost all of 1 Nephi and they have both gained thier testimony of the Church and are ready to be baptized! They need to get married first and we are helping them plan their reception for 11th of May. They are such a special family (little Orión too!) and I am excited to help them start their new life in Christ, and to have an eternal family <3
We also palyed basketball with another one of our investigators, Leandro and his brother, Fabio (who has hair like Fabio too lol) and that was fun (I was balling out there, by the way haha). We have been getting lunches almost everyday from the members and it is nice to work with them and to get references, have them help us with lessons, etc. The bishopric asked me to share my testimony yesterday and I introduced myself and everyone loved it! They are really impressed by my castellano and love calling me nicknames, like ruso or ingle haha they are super funny. My comp chipped his teeth eating a piece of bread with a fork this week and had to climb on our roof to fix a water problem, so he has been triggered haha it is fun to work with Elder Richards. I couldn´t ask for a better area or better members to work with!
Well, that´s all I have to report on this week. I will be in rosario again for trámites this week, so I hope to snag some cool pics for you all. I love Paraná and the members, and I am so happy and blessed to be a missionary for the Lord Jesus Christ. Always remember to do your best and let Him take the rest. Cuidensenlon!
