Hello Familia!
Just another fine week in the mission field. :) may i add today we went to this burger place thinking the food wasnt going to be that great. but it was costed 43 pesos so i was going to be pretty upset if i didnt get something good. and turns out......IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! ah my first burger here and it was actually legit. The bacon was legit, so was the fries. my companion was freaking out cause he was like "it took me a year and a half to find a burger and you found one this soon on your mission·" oh it was just fabulous. it took me back to yesteryear when i used to eat burgers alot.
so yeah. good week. our numbers were pretty low but thats because our planning session last week wasnt very good. but besides that we had a good and fun week. so we have been teaching this girl Jenifer. she is like 20 years old. our age. we found her through our english classes that we teach, she had some questions about what we believed in and what not and we started teaching her. the first lesson we brought a kid named leandro from our ward to be their with us and turns out they hated each other in high school. so the next time we brought his brother in law Enirique and he left early on us. so the next time we invited enrique again and he didnt show so we went across the street to get an hermano in the ward and he comes and totally teaches the lesson for us and whoops trash. it was crazy awesome. she immediatly made a friendship with him. he made everything make sense to her. so we taught her again with him. he taught the lesson and whooped butt again. and turns out he made a baptismal date with her that she accepted. she went to church yesterday. but the problem is....she isnt in our area. its the other elders area. answer to the problem (so we think) she said she wanted to ask elder newey a question. we are thinking she wants him to baptize her. which would be totally awesome. she is super funny and fun to teach. we are pretty sure she is getting baptized. our investigators arent really progressing in our area in trelew. but we are now teaching Barbara´s brother Martin in Gaiman. He is a studd! we played soccer with them the other day for like an hour and i whooped trash. I had like 10 headers. and with my other shots making about 15 goals that i made. i kick trash at street soccer. these kids are impressed at how good us white boys can play. i leaned how to make bracelets here from one of our investigators this week. no big deal.
I have been thinking alot here on the mish. satan does alot here on the mish to try to get us to give up. he works on me alot. tries to make me think that i am inatiquite with my language, or that i cant teach. we have alot of people that yell at us but i just blow it off. alot of people here do not want to listen at all. i do not mean for this to sound like a trunky letter that says the mission is hard. cause its not. i love it here. but i say this to warn my family of the power satan has. a set apart person as myself can feel satan at his hardest even on the mission. he is working with my investigators. thats why they dont progress. satan has so much power. but the forces of the good and the power that god has is even greater. i find so much power and comfort as I read the words of the prophets every morning in the general conference issues of the liahona. they are called of god and they know the answers. the scriptures also have an amazing power. i have never loved this gospel so much as i do right now. i may not be able to express my love for this gospel 100% how i want to in the language of this people but i hope i carry that power in my testimony. i hope you carry that power in your testimonies as you share it with those that need it. I challenge each of you to find a friend or work member who does not have the blessing of the gospel in thier life. bear your testimony to them. the power of testimonies is great. it can change lifes. i know that. the church is true. keep choosing the right!
miss you all
