yet again another
sweet week here in San Nicolás Argentina. =)
we had a little bit of
a bummer which taught me something. that sadly, do not trust members to do
anything with an investigator if we are not there.
we had familia
chamorro, his best friend is a member. well that friend and the bishop told us
that they were going to go over and visit los chamorro. well we let them go,
thinking that would be a good idea. well it ended up with espinoza, the friend,
telling chamorro they arent ready to be baptized, that they need to think it
over well as a family, all this stuff...... hahahaha so we lost four this week.
BUT!!!!!!!!
God taketh away, but
He also giveth abundantly=)
we lost four but found
5 more. =) so we are still having a total blast!!!!!!!
miracle of the
week.
this has a lot to do
with something Scott told me. he said, that mission needs YOU. elder BRYCE
whitaker. no one else.
SO =) we were
contacting and came to a members house that love me so, to be me and be a dork,
we hit the doorbell and walked to the next house, they came out but not enough to
see us. so i went back and hit it again. and we went two houses down to
continue. =) hahaha this is all really funny to me cause this whole time i was
laughing really hard. =) well they came by a little later on a walk, just to
pass the afternoon and saw us, so we talked and they found out it was me and we
laughed. well when they came we were about to knock a door, well they stopped
us, we talked, and when we left, we did NOT go back to that door, we crossed
the street and headed back the way that we had come knocking still. well we
knocked a door, and a kid, about 11 came out. and i saw his mom way in the back
washing clothes, she yelled for us to wait a second and she would come, well
three minutes passed and i was like, ok this is joke. well she came. opened the
door and we started to talk. well we got in the house=)
taught and all that.
well at the end, we committed them to be baptized. she accepted and said, i
knew i needed to open the door to you guys. usually i open the window and say i
have a church and close it. but something told me to open the door and listen
to you. i promise i will do it. i want to be baptized in the church of Jesus
Christ.
and the angels came
and they were translated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we
left that house like, holy freaking cow, i cant believe that just happened.
they are sweet. so we will see what happens.
then sunday.
RUSSELL M NELSON came. its whatever. no big deal. it was really cool. a couple
minutes into his talk, he told his translator to take a seat and he would take
it from here. =) such a capo. it was really cool. talked about temple covenants
and the security they can bring to our lives and our relationships. and then, i
got to shake his hand. =) his wife is amazing as well. =) but it was a great
weekend.
that sunday night
we went to a callback and ended up setting baptismal dates for 3 people. =)
seriously its just so fun to commit people. it makes the teaching way more fun
cause your trying to teach so that when you commit them its a no brainer that
they need to be baptized. its a blast.
so pray really hard.
we need to find a couple of our people with fecha. other wise they are going to
fall. but i know the lord is preparing people here. and i wanna tell you guys
that our mission is changing drastically. and i loveit. we went from one of the
lower, frankly, crapier missions, to now we are killing it. and it all comes
from faith, work, concentration, and changing our minds to YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!
i love the mission. if any one of your relatives doesnt want to go on a mission,
let me know and send me their email and i will see what i can do. =) cause i
truly love what i am doing.
the impossible is
attainable.
i sure do. he is a
yankee. and a big dude. =) everyone says he is really cool so that will be fun.
i am kinda glad to be able to be a normal LZ again. it was a lot of fun and i
learned a lot but it was kind of a lot for one dude to handle. especially with all
the changes i was making in the zone. but=) i will now have a second brain to
help me out=) so that will be fun. =)
i gotta go now. but i
will talk more next week. loves and oh. i forgot to send pics... dangit. more
next week.
cuidense muchos mis
patos=) hahaha
