Sorry for not writing last week, I was doing more important things...........naaaaaa just kidding jaja. Y’all are the most important obviously........jeje.
Okay. Guys, I have a miracle to share.
My first week here in San Luis we spoke with a man in the street named Andino. We only spoke for a moment, and he kindly gave us his address, then we left. Super quick. End of the week rolls around, and my comp tells me, bro we gotta go contact that nice grandpa that we found the other day, and I was like, aight. We showed up to his house and he was totally there! We taught him about baptism, and he accepted the invitation to be baptized. The next day he came to church all by himself, having to walk about a mile or so (the man has 76 years....). Anyway, it was a miracle that the man made it to church. Turns out he grew up in the sticks way out in the fields raising sheep and llamas. He reminds me a ton of my grandpa Dewey, they have the same hands jaja. Anyway we stopped by his house a few times and he accepted a baptismal date. Within 3 days he was already in 1 nephi 17. This last weekend Andino was baptized! He even went and bought himself a nice bright pink tie and a new white shirt to come to church in. We love him so much, and are really excited to help him continue learning and growing in his testimony.
I'm really enjoying my time here in San Luis. Our bishop here in the Pringles ward asked me on Saturday to give a talk the following sunday. Mas vale that I told him that I would love to. I ended up sharing my mom’s story about my brother Nolan from the 2008 March Ensign. I invite you all to read it if you haven't. Shout out to my momma!!!! Many of the members told me that the story touched their hearts and that many of them remembered having read the story years ago. Mom! The members knew about you before they knew me!! jaja It was so wonderful being able to share my testimony together with my mom’s that God truly answers our prayers. Love you momma.
Anyway, having a grand ole time out here in “the middle of nowhere”--William Clark Anderson......don't let me catch you hating on my Argentina jaja jokes.
Oh ya, super quick, guess what! The tia abuela of Messi got baptized in our mission!!!! Not sure how the relation works, but like, we are that much closer to baptizing Messi guys. lol Aguante la obra.
Love you guys,
Elder Anderson
