A good week in Rivadavia

Hello all and happy friend day(yesterday) in Argentina, 

Things are going pretty well here in Rivadavia. My favorite cookies ´toddy´ were on sale for 15 pesos at walmart!!! But more importantly, the work is going well. We found a really cool family on saturday night that came to church on sunday

We´ve been able to teach franco a few more times this week and have been helping him to understand things better so that he´s have his own desires to get baptized cause his mom won´t sign the record until he really wants to. We met her and had a good chat with her this past week. 

On thursday I went to Mendoza for errands about the visa. Elder Magdaluyo was there too as well as elder Connolly. It was way fun seeing them both again. It´s been a long time since i´ve seen elder Magdaluyo. And in the offices i got bad and good news. bad- Elder Pereira went home. I have no idea why but i´m going to try to contact him. good- Elder Pyne is coming back out!!! 

So the whole week was pretty good, we had taught more lessons than usual and then we had a little extra time on saturday night and we decided that instead of visiting investigadors that are struggling to progress and not keeping committments, we would go contact a family that the sisters had told us about. So we went and they invited us right in. They were wayyy cool!!!!!! Super prepared. They had heard the missionaries before a few years ago and even come to church. The mom´s sister is a member in another province and has told her a lot about the church. After we taught them the restoration, she said that one thing she loves about the church is that we have the fullness of the gospel. that we know the plan that God has for us because that´s something her church doesn´t have. SWEET. and then he´s a little bit more tough but way cool and loves talking and listening. So she came to church with three of her kids. I sat by one of the kids at church and he knew some deacons that sat by him and invited him to mutual. SWEET! And the mom loved it and knew a few people. They all fit in so well!!!!!!!!!!!! So they are easily first priority for us now. And amazingly prepared family!!! the family Correa. 

This morning we went to hike a mountain with a brother in our ward. It was tough but way good to get out in nature. Before leaving we passed by a radio station to give a guy in our ward something. He was on air and when we entered he asked us to sit down and we got to talk a little bit with him on air about where we´re from how we like argentina and our message for just a quick 3 minutes or so. It was way cool!!!

I know this is the work of the Lord that he guides and directs it and is constantly seeking to help us. 

Love, 

Elder Fullmer
