interviews

It´s been a great week!!! It was a really hard week for teaching lessons but this week will be wayyy better. We have a couple of lessons planned tonight and a family night with investigator planned as well. We are now using a weekly list where at church we invite the members to come out with us and then they put there name down for a few hours during the week when they can go out and work with us. We´re really excited to see how it goes this week!!!!! We got several of the young men to come out including enzo and german correa. 

Highlights of the week were interviews!!!!!!!!!! It was way good to see president, to talk about the zone, the elders and about persevering till the end. All of the zone leaders with just a couple of transfers left have been dropping to train so he pretty much told me I won´t be an exepcion to the norm. Which i´m wayyy excited about!!!!!!!!! 

Another highlight of the week was getting together with both of the stakes here in San Juan to do a big service project in the canyon picnic type area, cleaning up trash and planting trees. It was wayyy fun to do service and see lots of people from albardon and eat lunch with a group from here in rivadavia. I love this ward. 

Things to look forward to this week--- working a lot more with the members, capacitating the hometeachers and visiting teachers in the ward.

Things to look forward to in like three weeks Elder Christofferson is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So things are going well, loving listening to the conference talks over and over again!!! Romans10:17, faith comes by hearing the word of God.

I love you all!!!

conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week has been wayyy good!!! We had mission counsel on tuesday which was awesome. We talked a lot about how to find new investigators. I mentioned sending an email to ask for referrals from the missionaries out serving from the ward we are in. (like the sisters in greenbluff did). I don´t have a whole lot of time to write today so i´ll sum up and then try to send some pictures too. 

So then thursday and friday we went out with a priest in our ward and it went really well. We taught an elderly lady that we found that really likes listening to us. In the zone we´ve been really focusing on teaching lessons with members and so in the zone meetingtomorrow, we´ll be talking a lot about that and making plans to teach a lot more with members. 

Conference was amazzzzing! I loved every minute of it. A high light was the first conference talk ever given in spanish by elder gavarret!!! It was a wayyy cool talk and we had 3 investigators at that session!!! I lightly nudged the dad of the family that came as Elder Gavarret spoke about keeping committments and following the example of Christ. Such a great conference. A down point of the conference was that between sessions on sunday when everybody was picnicing, a man from our stake fainted and died. I don´t know details at all but we all had to evacuate the building and we went to watch in the other stake center. Pretty crazy!!!

One thing that´s come to my mind recently is how the Lord really does bless us through trials. I know the Lord has blessed me with lots of gifts but to be able to develop and have those, there must be challenges. I´m thankful for the challenges of the mission and for the opportunities that I have to change every day!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you all!!!
