We´ve found a ton of people this past week, including an unbaptized lady in a part member family. She´s way cool but can´t leave her house cause she´s on house arrest for stuff i´ll tell you guys about later. We were in a lesson with her and about to finish and then a scripture i had read that morning came to mind from Luke, where the scribes and pharisees ask Christ why he´s chilling with publicans (sinners) and he says that he came to earth to call sinners like them to repentance, and because healthy people don´t need to go to the doctor. We´ll be helping her get healed spiritually!!!
When we went back to Francos house this week we asked how his prayer went and he said he got his answer that the 30th feels right. When we talked to him on saturday he had changed his mind............................ ¨mas adelante¨. More forward.............But he did come to church on sunday.
So like 3 times here in Rivadavia, this guy has come up to me in walmart and started speaking in english. he speaks real good ( haha ). And then this past week he finally got to have a lesson with him. Mario. He lived in orlando for like10 years has 3 kids, used to be catholic but got bored of doing the same thing every week at church and then went to the Jdubs cause a cute girl went there but then they wanted him to start paying tithing and stop donating blood right off the bat so he got away from there and now doesnt go anywhere. We had a great lesson 1 with him and will be passing by this week to see how the read has gone.
I don´t know if i wrote it last week but i recieved divine revelation. ´mate de la vida´. or the mate of life. like tree of life. Mate is a drink that everybody drinks here. everybody in a room shares the same cup, so as we were sharing the story of the tree of life with the fam correa last week, this idea came to mind, all of the members a more than willing the share mate with a friend, so why not the gospel. Right now we´re working on making a design of a sticker or flyer to give to members where the mate cup says mate of life, with the straw of iron that lead to the mate of life, the herbs desirable to make one happy and the sugar most sweet and white that i had ever before tasted. hahaha. We have also created 1 Nephi chapter 8 according to elder garcia and elder fullmer AKA elder garcia and elder fullmer translations #apostasy #justkiddingmomanddad :) So nobody else knows this but you that are reading the email, on tuesday next week we will be releasing it to the mission leadership counsel. So if you know missionaries in this mission, don´t drop the beans!!!
On wednesday this week Elder Vinas of the seventy came. It was awesome. He read some of 2ne 2, about how the law none of us are justified, only through repentence and the atonement of Christ. It was amazing how he could read and expand upon the scriptures seemlessly quoting other scriptures and prophets with lots of quotes from Paul. Then he let us all take turns talking briefly about how the atonement shapes our work as missionaries. A few other points that he made were that we don´t baptize, people choose to be baptized. And confessing the hand of the Lord. Which is one thing i´ve been trying to do better this week. On monday and tuesday we got together a musical number, nearer my God to the to see at that meeting and it turned out really well! That was one of the many miracles of the week.
Side notes... I bought a tie and a pair of pants this morning. My favorite cookies are on sale at walmart. Elder Garcia is a stud and we got along really well!
I want to express my gratitud especially to my family this week. As i´ve tried to become a more patient, happier, cheerful missionary, i´ve been reminded of the great examples and lessons i´ve had inside my home. I love you all so much and pray for you all the time. So, D,M,S,J,M,L,P,A,H,R,J,J,E,G and E, Have a great week!!!
Love,
Elder Fullmer
