Howdy!!!
Hope yall are doing well!! I ́m back in Feliciano with my new companion! Elder Burchell from South Weber, Utah. He's super cool! And he has about 6 months in the mission, so he's fired up with working here, which is great cause there's a ton of work to do. We got 8 new investigators this week, in only a half a week worth of missionary work because of the travels we had to take. It is awesome! I was a little worried that some of our investigators would stop having interest since I was gone for 10 days but when we went back to Jimena she told us she had been reading everyday and still wants to be baptized!!! Milagro! We are trying to help her get married and baptized here in March, so keep her in your prayers!!! We also ran into a Colombian named Sebastian and he wants to take the missionary lessons so I´m excited to teach him since I love me my Colombians <3
This week we have run into a lot of crazy little miracles, and also crazy moments as well. Yesterday we were walking and a man in his moped stopped and asked if we were missionaries, which we smiled and said Sí and he gave us his address and phone number so we can teach him this week, which was awesome! We also ran into a drunk guy who wanted some help but was too drunk and was cussing so much that I couldn´t take him seriously so we left him a pamphlet and went our way haha. It's been raining a lot here and since I'm in the country there's a lot of dirt roads, which quickly turn into mud roads, so i´ve busted out my mud boots and we go trekking on some pretty gnarly roads. It's awesome! We have been working hard to get some people back, and we are seeing more miracles as we leave and go to work everyday in this special part of the Lord's vineyard.
This week Elder Bragg from the 70 will come and speak to the mission! It's going to be exciting to hear from a General Authority with all the mission, so I ́m trying to get spiritually prepared to receive personal revelation from a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Also, today is President's Day!!! Well, here in Argentina no but it's good to take this moment to count our blessings as a nation blessed by the Lord, which we can read about in the Book of Mormon. Nefi had a vision of the America´s, many years before it would've been discovered by Columbus and other European explorers. 1 Nefi 13 says:
16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them.
17 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle against them.
18 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, and also that the wrath of God was upon all those that were gathered together against them to battle.
19 And I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles that had gone out of captivity were delivered by the power of God out of the hands of all other nations.
As we take time to celebrate President's Day, we should give thanks to the Lord for always protecting this chosen land, and pre-ordaining our Country ́s chosen leaders to be vessels for bringing to pass a free nation, one perfect to restore God's truths back to the Earth to bless ALL of His children!
