Well, everybody that was one of the craziest weeks of my life. So like I was saying, there I was in a trio with two dudes from Uruguay, and it was ok. I did not like my comp that much, so having a third person there to talk helped us out. But his area was also preparing two baptisms, so we did not get to work like at all in our area. It was wild. We went and took a bike from some other companionship of missionaries and biked like crazy people all over Argentina. It was ok, I have never been a bike dude and I never will be. Especially here where everybody likes to drive right next to you. It can be quite the adventure. So we basically did that for a week. Biked and taught and biked and taught and biked and taught. Luckily the week passed by pretty quickly. We got to Sunday, and we are preparing a woman named Florencia for her baptism this Saturday. So she is going to be ready, and she is not already a member, so that is a bonus. It is going to be awesome. Also we are trying to teach this 9 year old girl so that she can get baptized, but the parents have problems, and sometimes they are not home. But it is cool. And as for Nestor, well we found his other official member document from Tierra de Fuego, so he was totally already a member, but nobody really knows what to do about it for now because he keeps denying that he knew anything about the church before he met us. So that is fun. We will see where that gets us. Not sure how it is all going to go down, but we will see I guess. So then, we are with this other dude, and he is a zone leader, so we got to help a little with transfers. It was crazy, but good news! They are reopening Parque Guillermina!!!!! Ah this made me so happy because that area is so cool and the people there are awesome. Ah so great. And also my companion left the area, he got transferred to Tucuman as a zone leader, and I am staying here, but I am senior comp now, so that is going to be an adventure. We will see what kind of crazy things God gives me now that I have more responsibility. It is going to be interesting, I know that much.
As for cool stories from this week, I only have one that was from last Sunday. We went out to try and visit a bunch of people, and nobody was home. We tried to visit this older sister that lives alone, so we went and nobody answered, and that was how Sunday went. Then we had a crazy Monday, and I went to her house again with a different elder, and she was there and she needed a blessing of health and tried hard to attend to us on Sunday, but was unable to. So we got to help her out and it was just a sprinkle of proof that God is working through us.
Not gonna lie, this week, and the transfer that just ended, were not my favorite times of the mission. I thought about just like ditching my comp, or ditching both these dudes and just walking away from it all. It would have been pretty easy considering the fact that the bikes broke a ton, but I did not quit. And from this experience I was able to see again that trials are long to endure, but also quick to end, and also that they are necessary so that we can grow. It was not an easy time, but I learned a lot, and I got through, and now things are going to be better. I think. We will see haha. But I am just going to trust God and His plan, try my best to do His will, and be myself, and I know the rest of it will all take its course.
Entonces un testimonio de esta semana seria, que Jesucristo y Dios siempre estan en el lado nuestro. Ellos quieren que crezcamos y progresemos para que podamos llegar a ser mas. Que podamos tener mas fe, mas confianza, y despues, mas felicidad. No somos perfectos por nada, testifico de eso. Pero bueno tenemos Cristo. El nos ama y con El todo es posible.
Have a great week everybody!!!!!!!!!!
