El fin se acerca "The end is at hand"

8 June 2015

Well this week was really long, yet really short, all at the same time. The days were massive, we are working really hard to try to get this place into shape before they push it into a whitewash. but every time we go to an investigator, theyre never home or always busy!!! just doesnt quite work out. but we are going to give it our all. 

We are having fun though. Rita got baptized!!!!!!!! thats was fun. =) it was a crazy story though. we almost got shut outside the church, close... =) but she got baptized!! we are really happy. the branch was really happy that she finally got baptized. 

I am no longer branch president!!! jaja we finally were able to put in a member as pres so that was really good!! sadly, there are no counselors, because there are no worthy options. so thats going to be something to work on. but hermano mercado is a champ and will do a great job. we sat down yesterday for about 2 hours and talked. passed a lot of information. and have two more oportunities to help him out before i head out. 

the best part of the whole week was to hear adelmas testimony saturday at the baptism of rita. i love her so much. shes a sweetheart. so sincere. she gave an amazing testimony, the spirit was incredibly strong. she will make it to the end i think. =) 

graciela probably wont be baptized in my time here. unless we baptize her sunday after church. which would be crazy. but she was unable to come to church this last week, so it looks like we will be leaving an incredible investigator for the other elders. she is really special. =) 

well everyone, this will be my last letter from the field. 

I love all of you and i am excited to see you all. 

This is the true church of our God. He is our Father and i know that Christ is my older Brother. I have come to really love them and feel their love in my life as i have struggled and worried these past few months. I am grateful for trials, as hard as they may be, if it werent for those moments, we would never really love and appreciate our Savior as we should. The mission has been the funnest thing i have ever done, hands down. I love it. I know my Savior love

Monday June 1, 2015

So we had a really crazy week this week. i really wasnt able to see our area that much but when we were in it, some awesome things happened. =) 

so wednesday i was really worried about my companion, he just wouldnt talk to me really, wouldnt tell me whats up, but like if i asked some question he would just, you could tell he was not ok. so i talked to pres and thursday we went down to rosario. 

well that was really fun for me=) i hung in the offices and watched them do their thing. but i saw, giacoboni, trained him, Clayton, just trained him, clayton is with Chartrand who giacoboni trained, haha and then i was with taylor who i was training. =) so that was fun. we took a family picture. =) 

well got back thursday night, worked all day friday like normal people. and saturday, during personal study, the assistants called and said that we had to be in santa fe that night. my comp got transferred down to rosario so they can help him out a little more, so that will be really good for him. so im now with a mini misionero, se llama elder Silva. hes 17 and has been a member for about 9 months. =) hahahaha but were going to have some fun. he talks a lot. =) 

but yeah. GRACIELA CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so she is on track. just got to get her to church this sunday, and get her to the water next week. =) i am so excited. im praying so hard. 

rita should be baptized this saturday the 6 at 415 our time. fingers crossed. then the next week graciela. =) 

i am working hard. they told me this week that this sunday they are going to call a member to be branch president!!!!! so my mission is completed there. thats my job, just take over and prepare a member. =) we are hoping his life gets a little be more normalled out. hes going through a really hard time. but we will see. =)
