This past week was reeeeeecopado! We contacted a lot and found a bunch of people that are interested in listening to the message of the Restored Gospel. We had divisiones with the Zone Leaders and we managed to do splits with the Branch President and his son Alexis as well. We had really good lessons and met some very unique and special sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, and I am so excited to follow up with them this week!
Unfortunately, Andrea was super sick this week and couldn´t have her baptismal interview as planned. It sucks cause I was really hoping to see her enter the waters of baptism this weekend, but it wasn´t meant to be. I realize that sometimes my plans and desires are not in the Lord´s time, and thats ok! As long as I do my part, the Lord will do His in His time, just have faith and work!
So the Circus is in town, and in Argentina they go crazy with announcements. Everyday there are people that drive around in cars with speakers attached to the top blaring anuncios for stores or events. However, with the circus, the ads are extra annoying haha. They have a mickey mouse voice in the ad, and hearing the spanish mickey is hilarious haha. This circus is so crazy that they have airplane anuncios too! A plane flies over the town like 10 times blaring the ad, and my brain has it practically memorized by now. (If I have to hear about los mejores payasos one more time haha)
Saturday night it rained..... a lot. Like all the streets were flooded and going to church in the morning was a game of cat and mouse trying to avoid puddles and mud. Because most of the city was flooded, only 15 people made it to church. Poor Norberto, his front yard was completely underwater and couldn´t get to church :( I had to give a last second talk and while I was at the pulpit, I testified about how we are in the same rebaño (flock) and that Jesus is the Buen Pastor (Good shepherd) and that we can be like a shepherd and help the lost sheep get back into the fold of God. Like Alma when he was rejected by the Lamonites in Ammonihah, I too grieve and worry about the salvation of the souls here in Argentina. But if I continue my hard work, then I will find someone like Amulek, who recognizes me as a messenger and representative of Jesus Christ. I love working hard and being a missionary, and I know that this is what I need to be doing right now in my life. (Alma 8)
I love you all and I hope you are preparing yourself for General Conference! Read and pray and come with questions! Listening to the prophet and apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ is a special experience, and I hope that you can receive some answers to your questions!
