FAMILIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, first off, sorry for not
calling back like i said i would. I thought the church office was going
to be open, but i was wrong. We tried to look for a place to call but as
you know, it was christmas. haha kinda hard.
Second off, im the only missionary out now!!!!!!!!!! haydens home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy moley. i bet things are weird.
Third off, my trainer got married this week. Congrats Hayden Newey. Boom.
So
this week was a mas o menos week. It was a little difficult but it was
an amazing week. Why? CAUSE WE HAVE A BAPTISM NEXT
WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will
explain
We had a miracle happen this week, Freddy, in our lesson with him
got his answer. I was reading a liahona the other day and one of the
stories of a memeber in Ushuaya got his answer in the lesson with the
missionaries and i thought i might use that same way to help him out.
The spirit told me i needed to use that way to help him. So we wrote
down the prayer freddy needed to say, specificly and he read what i had
wrote down and then we just waited. he told us after we had read d y c 9
that he had felt something super warm in his head. he told us that that
way to pray was different from all the other times he had prayed. He
had gotten his answer. After crying for a while he asked us if that had
ever happed to us before. We said yes. We are preparing him to be
baptized on the 6th of January. :)
Diego is super close to getting his answer. He just needs to do a
prayer and come to church. He has all the reasons to be baptizedc and
everything. He understands exactly why he needs to be baptised. Super
capo.
Irene is having a bit of trouple with some problems with her health. But
she promised us when she was doing dialysis that she would call us and
that we could go talk to her to help her with her answer.
So
yeah. that was our week. we have planned to spend new years with yoni
and nancy, a newly married couple here in our ward. Its going to be
tight. I love the mission.
LOVE YALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really am looking forward to working with elder clark. He is a super good elder and super obedient.
Their is a saying in a video we have as missionaries called Preach my Gospel by a missionary called Elder Bott.

Monday's E-mail
HELLO CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!1
just another AMAZING week here in argentina. I love it here. haha i
really do. Its so cool to just feel like you are at home speaking
another language and everthing is just normal. wake up and talk to
people like its nothing. haha. Well this week was GREAT!!!!!!! we had a
suuuper good week. Taught alot and had alot of succes. ONe of the things
was that we were able to see a miracle with vanessa. We taught her the
sabath day and the importance of coming to church and i promised her if
she would talk to her boss, he would give her the day off or that
someone would give her another job. She got another job offer this week.
:) she has a job interview today.
I have learned alot this week about the spirit. ITs been suuuuper
cool to see how the spirit works. I never understood suuper well stuff
about the spirit. I love it. I LOVE THE MISSION!!!!!!!!!!
The family nahuelpan are doing good. didnt come to church this week
but we couldnt go visit them either. BUT jonathan has a baptismal date
for this month!!!
This week we found 5 new investigators. A family. Familia Landaida.
They are super cool. Then we taught a cool bolivian kid named freddi.
he is super chill. He loves it.
The truth is.....the mission is changing my life "line upon line,
precept upon precept" its like a talk i read today by elder bednar. the
change in my life is like a rising and setting sun. it´ll take two years
but i will be able to see the difference. I love the mission. These
people make me so happy. these times are when the mish is just amazing.
Its not easy all the time but it so worth it. I have learned more in
this 17 months than i ever did in seminary and stuff. It helped but i
have been able to learn on my own as i help others. I love IT:) LOVE YA
KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
