enzo!!!!!!!!!!

It´s been a great week here in Rivadavia. On monday night we went to mendoza for mission counsel. It was really really good. We talked a lot about having an excitement for the work, praying and working with faith, and working well with members especially leaders. Lot of zone leaders and sister training leaders are leaving this transfer so it was kind of a good bye fest at the end. President also told us that lots more missionaries will be going up as leaders earlier on and then people won´t be finishing as leaders. In the trainings in provo they said that being a trainer is the most important assignement for a missionary to have, so at the end of the mission, the good missionaries will be training. So a little bit of changes. I´m content that i won´t be ending as a leader, but rather in an area probaly with a young comp or training and working really hard. 

On thursday, we went to albardon to do an interview for a blind lady that got baptized on saturday. I saw the Alganaraz family and also went to see Maria Munoz. She is doing pretty well praying and reading the scriptures but i had to talk to her about her covenants from baptism because she has had a hard time getting to church lately but it was really good to talk and visit and remember old times with elder gibbons and them!!!!

On friday morning we had interviews. We also got to talk to hermana Goates one on one. She talked to us all about covenants and helping the members of argentina to keep theirs and helping converts and investigators know what they are and how and why to make them and keep them. It was really cool. My interview with President Goates was great as well. I love him! We talked about the zone and the success we´ve had, about my family, comp relations and everything. It was really good. Then we left with elder rainock the asistent who came with us for an exchange. We went to do a baptismal interview first in one of the areas. I got to do it and the lady was really prepared. It was cool to talk to her about the coventant she was about to make for the rest of her life. She´s really ready to get baptized. Then we went to eat lunch with the Kim family. I don´t know if i mentioned them before but they´ve gotta be the coolest family in the ward. they always clean clothes and give us some of the best lunches every. For lunch, at the beginning it was just us three and brother kim (from korea). He said with his accent, alright i will present to you korean meat and then argentine meat and you will tell me which is better. The korean meat was a little sweat, prepared with coke, but really really good. The argentine meat was classic asado and he had cooked both of them in their back yard. He had all the meat on a platter in front of him and would cut pieces off and give them to us as we finished up what we had. One of the best lunches i´ve ever had. and desert... fresh brownies with icecream. WOW. 

Then with elder Rainock we went to visit a few other people. Not many people home, but Daniel and Marina were home. We tried to teach them a lesson but then they were making pizzas for us to eat. But we committed them to coming to the baptism of Enzo. 

On saturday morning, Elder Rainock and us talked about how the zone is doing and changes to be made. Some of the areas and districts will be changed this transfer. There will be two new areas including the area of Albardon will be split!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That´s way exciting! i remember talking with elder gibbons about albardon having 4 missionaries a year ago and now it´s going to happen!!!!!!!!! and I´ll almost for sure be here to see it happen. Enzo´s baptism was really great. simple and sweet. Daniel and his sister in law came and loved it!!!!!!! A priest in the ward that he knew from school baptized him. Enzo is 15 but will turn 16 at the end of this month. He´s super solid. He´s been going to seminary this week and has a lot of friends in the ward. I´m confident that within a couple of years he´ll be on the mission. 

Sunday was great. Fast and testimony meeting. The priest that baptized enzo bore a sweet testimony and lots of other people mentioned the correa family in their testimonies. It´s been amazing.

Transfers are next week. I´m pretty sure i´m staying and pretty sure Elder Garcia with be assitent. he´ll do great. I love Rivadavia. 

Love, 

Elder Fullmer
