Hey everybody! This week was super great! I am doing really well and am really happy with pretty much all the aspects of life. So now I am in Tucuman and my area is called Parque Guillermina. We have a ward and like 60-80 people come every week. It is a nice upgrade. My companion is Elder McDonald. We are two white dudes walking around Argentina haha. He is great, not a robot, and he knows how to work. We are pretty similar, so you could say that this transfer is going to be one for the books.
Alright, first things first, shout out to my cousin Benny! He got baptized this week! What a stud! I am really proud of you Benny, and also I am sorry that I could not be there, but I am kind of in Argentina. Anyways, Love you Ben, miss you, and keep following the Lord´s path for you. The Savior is always with you, and also now the Holy Spirit.
So this week, we have seen some really cool things going on in the area and other interesting things too. One day we were outside this guy´s house waiting for him to come back and these crazy gypsey women started talking to us. Yeah they did not want to learn about the gospel I can tell you that.... Haha one of them told us that we could go next door and there would be other gypsy women to be our girlfriends over there. NO THANKS. Also sometimes when we are just walking around the streets girls make like kissing noises at us, or blow kisses, or whistle. Haha what a world to be white in this crazy country. Another sort of funny story was, this week was testimony meeting, so anyone can get up and bear their testimony in the front of the church. So this little kid, who was probably like 11 or 12 years old, and who is also from a different ward, got up and started to give his testimony. We talked to him before and he was a little bit odd, so I was not expecting a ton, but he gave this testimony that me and my comp said taught better than both of us haha. He made perfect sense and said that if we have problems, all we have to do is read the scriptures and pray and God never forgets us. It was crazy awesome, everybody was just thinking, WHAT. It was super great. So church was a pretty good day. We have like an actual church now, so that is nice. We are also working with a couple of families and investigators that are awesome. I will tell you all more about them when I actually get to know them better. We had a really awesome day one day too, where we did a companion study where we watched a BYU devotional talk of Brad Wilcox about the Grace of God. This video blew our minds and filled us with the Spirit. Then we left and we taught and the Spirit was so strong. So strong. It was incredible. We also one day, found this street, and McDonald was like, "Hmm never been here before." So we went down there and we found these three houses in like a dead end alley. So we contacted the first one, and this shirtless dude comes out and tells us that nobody can change his beliefs and tells us to contact his neighbor. So we do that, and this grandma and two grandkids exit and she says a bunch of stuff about being Catholic and not caring and tells us to contact her neighbor. So it is the last house in this little place, and we go and we contact it. We clapped our hands, it is how you knock on the door here. And there was already an older man sitting outside doing some sort of paperwork, and he tells to come in. We didn´t say a word and he let us in. Never happened like that before, and apparently that was obvious from the face McDonald gave me. So we entered and talked to him and found out a whole lot of stuff and he agreed to let us come back and teach more. So we have been doing that little by little since there are so many people to visit.
That is about it for this week as far as stories go. I really am loving this transfer. These members are great. It is going to be a good few weeks!
Siempre estamos en lugares donde podemos ayudar. Siempre hay personas listas para escuchar el Evangelio. Y realmente podemos sentir mas del Espiritu Santo si compartimos el Evangelio. Se que Dios no nos olvidara. Se que debemos compartir este Evangelio sentir feliz, porque el Evangelio es lo que nos da la felicidad. Y digo estas cosas en el nombre de Jesucristo, amen.
Well I did not take any pictures this week...... Too busy living life I guess haha. But I got one from my comp that we took today after playing soccer. Oh and as for the title, there is a saying missionaries will know and that is snakes. Well crocodiles are like snakes but actually dangerous. And if you don´t know, then you just don´t know.
Anyways! Love you guys! Have a good week!
