so we had a really good week this week. we have a baptism this saturday. wait, but its the conference, yeah... =) we are really excited. she is going to get baptized in between the sessions on saturday. Listen to the Prophet, Get baptized, Listen to the prophet. =) so cool. her name is Elba Arballo. shes super prepared and really needed the gospel. her daughter and grandkids are now listening to the hermanas, and we are going to start teaching another daughter, she also referred more of her family to other areas in the zone, so we are going to go cray in familia Arballo. =) 

so thats fun. then we had our awesome old couple come Fanni and Jose Luis Monti. seriously they are such studs. we called them and they said they werent sure if they could make it at 2 but no matter what they would show up. well sacrament was about to start and sure enough they came. we have a family in the ward that Fanni raised the dad for a few years. so that was really cool and that family is now working with los Monti to get them baptized. =) 

well after the meeting we found out they they came back, from Rosario all the way to San Nicolas to go to church, and THEN WENT BACK!!!!! thats like getting up, driving to salt lake to visit someone, come back just for the sacrament, and then drive back. its an hour travel!!!!!!!!! they really are so awesome. i love them. so really pray for them a lot. 

then yesterday we had a really fun lesson. =) they are called familia Piazza. and the dad is a psycho. he just doesnt really honestly know what he believes. he contradicts himself, saying there is no god but he prays and reads the bible, that Cain and Able didnt exist but then made an example of them later, and said the bible is totally true. hahahaha so you see my problem. =) 

but we taught the restoration and it was really good. went really well. he stopped us when we were explaining the apostasy and how the prophets were lost but we need them and said, yeah?? well then who is the prophet in these days!! thinking that was going to stump us. we just smiled and said, give me 10 minutes and i will tell you. hahaha he looked at us like, no way, are you serious??? hahaha it was funny. but it will be tough but i think the mom has potential and the niece is a menos activa. 

but yeah, it was a really fun lesson, i wish you could meet this guy. we had a lot of fun. ha i love teaching, its a blast. 

so thats all folks. =) thank you very much for your prayers. 

 love you all.

yeah im not sure if i can write a big letter today, yeah total miracle. 2 baptisms for sure. no doubt. =) pray hard that we can keep em going. 

ok so really fast. good week. had a training from a seventy. elder zeballos. had fun. got a lot of chinese people mad at us. then on saturday had something sick happen. 

we got to elva, our sweet lady with a date fior the 20. she, at the door said we cant come any more cause her daughters hate us, well thats cause they think we are testigos we later found out, but once seated, we talked and she re accepted her baptismal date and we set the same date for her granddaughter. so that was sweet. it was funny to see such a big change in someone in a matter of minutes. saying dont come by to saying see ya at church tomorrow. 

and they both came. it was stake conference and this stake went hard. it was amazing. sick choir, we had saved seats right in front and Elva afterwards said it filled her entire soul. it was amazing. she said she will continue coming even if she has to come walking.... =) she is 63 and technically isnt allowed to walk more than like 3 blocks.... she lives 20 away from the current capilla... =) love her. 

so that was it. then this morning my comp was looking at the phone and walked into one of those guide wires that hold up power poles, i lost it, but what made it better, a gangster did too, me and him laughed together. it was funny. =) so havin fun. really really busy. but seein miracles. praying hard for these 2 baptisms to go through and get another ready for october. trying to baptize monthly for a while and see what i can do about getting it down to dunkin every week. =) 

Pray for us!!!! and Elva, Soledad, Familia Barbas, Familia Fosati, Familia Cantero, y Carmen. we also need to just find new people. really pray for the spirit to slap Barbas in the face. they are so cool and have so much potential, they just need to do this stuff. 

super sad story, literally broke my heart, but Graciela dropped us. it was so sad to see someone who so desperately needs this Gospel just shut it down. but the seed is there and she will see it someday. that poor woman is just broken. 

but yeah. havin a blast. that sad stuff was last monday some were good now. 0=) but this week is another Consejo and im super pumped. ok

thats it. gotta lot more todo

CHAO!!!!!!!!!!!!​

​so it was transfer week and surprisingly, we worked really well. we ended the week with 22 lessons, normally, you end with like 12. so we were proud. =) 

but we had a good week. spent all day wednesday waiting for people to arrive from their areas and shipping them out. it was fun. i enjoyed meeting everyone. but i dont know why, but this really hit me as funny. i went into the bathroom and on the way to wash my hands, there was NOTHING. there was a counter, the sink, but literally no type of water apparatus... i walked up, stood just staring and walked out. but my comp watched me stand there. when i came out we just laughed. well we walked back to where we were, then he just decided he needed to go too... haha so WE walked back again=) well, i got to watch him do exactly what i did, when he realized it, he put on his, man im so dumb face. haha

we started assigning faces to circumstances. or actions. like our action for awkward, i want all of you to do this right now... touch all finger tips together​ and raise your hand in the air as high as you can... =) hahahahaha its hilarious. especailly when something awkward is happening and you do that just to make it that much worse. hahahaha too funny. 

we had an inv in church yesterday. almost 3. but her sis got sick and then another older lady just disappeared, frankly we dont know what happened with her...

but pray lots for Noelia y Aymé. tienen 19 y 15. theyre sis´s and need to be baptized. and pray for elva that we can just find her gosh dangit. we dont know whats up there. but she really is legit. tiene 63. then Graciela and Julieta. they SOOO need the gospel. she has a lot of questions that this church could fix so fast but she struggles with even thinking about the catholic church not being right... but we love them. 

funny story, it wont sound funny if you dont follow it, so try and use your imagination. if not, just courtesy laugh and move on .=) 

we were with a MA familia and they wanted to see my fam. so i pulled out the pic of the fam with the bros on the back. mom, thats GOLD!!! thank you. so this little girl like 5 years old was looking and pointed to me and said whos that, i said, my evil twin. she looked back at the pic like, oh cool. then pointed to scott and said him?? i said oh thats me. she was like oh sweet, you look different in this. 

so a little later she showed her mom and was like mom look this is the elder, pointing to scott. and when her mom said, ha no honey thats not him, this is him. the little girl yelled, NO THATS HIS EVIL TWIN!!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha it was really funny. 

so were havin a good time. =) 

welp, see ya later.
