Elder Fullmer in Argentina: Familia Arrendondo!

Hey everybody!!!

Wow it´s been a great week!!! So many great things! New years was great. We made asado with the Rodriguez family in the afternoon and then we had to get back to the pench pretty early. On new years day we had to stay in the pench all day. On friday morning we attended the wedding of the Arredondo family!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooooooooo!!! It was amazing! They were both very emotional. A little afterwards she had the certificate in her hand and shouted ´i did it after 45 years!!! She was sooooo happy!!! They were both looking good!
Then we had interviews with President. Great to be able to talk to him openly and recieve guidance from him. I love President Goates!

Saturday we were extremely busy getting everything for the baptism!!! tonnns of things to do. Also, the font didn´t produce hot water so we had to bring pots from the kitchen sink.

The baptism was amazinnng. The spirit was sooo strong! There were tons of children but they were all quiet and there was a really peaceful feeling throughout the service.

2 amaaaaazing sisters in the ward had set up a surprise party for the arredondo marriage just afterwards with cupcakes, alfajors, and a wedding cake!!!! Thanks sister rodriguez and sister leal!!!

They were both confirmed on sunday. Sister Arredondo shared her testimony and it was sooo sweet. Things she has wanted for a long time are happening now. They are both very excited to go to the temple in a year. Last night we showed them the mountain of the lord movie and then gave them the little ´my family´ booklets to start working on so that we can go to the family history center in a couple more weeks.

So it was an amazing week. I´m grateful also for the reminders of the Lord to have a soft heart. If we have hardened hearts we can´t progress and even though a million blessings happen to us, we won´t recieve them truly or won´t recognize that they come directly from the Lord. It makes me so sad to see people I live around make bad choices and not seek to truly put God´s will above theirs. I know that our lives are all part of a divine design created for our happiness. But we can´t have that happiness unless we seeks to do the things that please God.

I love you all
