Yo yo yoooooo! You will not guess what happened this week! Liliana, the sister of Mirta that was baptized last week, had a change of heart, and is going to be baptized this coming Saturday! What a miracle! Her sister, her neighbor Gladys, and us.....woah English......whatever....we were praying for her, and boom, the fear that she had felt went away. The hand of the Lord! What a blessing! What a miracle! They were so happy, they gave us scarves, so that was pretty legit.
We had a super cool lesson last night in the house of the branch president. This super smart kid named Falcondo was hanging out with the son of the president, and he had a few questions about the church that were pretty profound. So we asked him if he wanted to learn more about our church, and like 2 hours later, we had a new investigator. He’s super super Catholic, but we blew his mind with some scriptures from the Bible, and the importance of the Book of Mormon, and he was pretty intrigued. We’re excited to see what’s gonna happen.
One of the scriptures that we shared with Falcondo was Mark 10:39 which talks about how we should be baptized in the same way Jesus was baptized. Super simple stuff that gets skipped over. He was like......whaaaaaaaat, and we were like yaaaaaaaaaaa.
I sure am loving this whole mission thing. My comp has been teaching me a lot of great stuff, and I feel more and more capable of speaking with the people. For example, there were some young pibes playing guitar in the park, and I went over with my comp and we started talking about guitar and stuff. It was one of the first times that i was able to really say everything that I wanted in a way that didn’t make me look like a total gringo. My comp has been telling me that everyday I sound more and more like an Argentine. Learning a new language has been a very humbling experience, and I’ve still got a long way to go, but I know that when we put our trust in the Lord, and do all we can, He will always help us with any trial that we might be facing. Sounds cheesy, but I know it’s true.
Love you guys, hope you all have a wonderful week! Also shout out to my Mom..........isn’t she just so wonderful?!
