hola!!!

Hola!!!

It´s been a great week!!! Some really great things and a few hard moments. 

One of the ups was that last monday a lady in our ward presented us to a part member less active family. The member mom is living with a man and they were coming to church over two years ago but he couldn´t get baptized cause they weren´t married, and they weren´t married because he couldn´t get divorced from his last marriage but his previous wife passed away a little while back so we´ve started teaching them. They´re want there daughter who´s 8 to get baptized and the dad committed to baptism but we haven´t invited him to a specific date yet. The mom is going on wednesday morning to figure out what the situation will be on marriage there in the Favorita. It´s a way neat family. They came to church on sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They got along really well with the members and knew from beforehand a few of them.

A down for the week started thursday... we talked to a really cool elderly man in the street. He is lonely and a widower. He loved the idea of living with his wife for eternity. We taught him the plan of salvation on friday and it went great. The spirit was strong and he accepted a baptismal date for the 20th of december. He also committed to coming to church on sunday. On saturday night we called to confirm and he said he was going to the hospital at 6 in the morning with his daughter.... On sunday evening we passed by and he came to the door and told us sorry for letting us teach him and that he was out of his mind when he was listening to us because he´s actually catholic............. We were pretty bummed. 

Another up is that Oriana, the lady from Chile is doing well. We taught her the word of wisdom early in the week and she mas o menos committed to living it. When we went back she hadn´t really seen any progress. We talked to her a lot more seriously and made a specific plan of things that she will do to help stop. She committed to it but with a lot more intention this time. She usually smokes 10 a day but on friday had only taken 4! So she´s doing better. She was in chile for the weekend so we didn´t see her but should be seeing her tomorrow. 

One thing i´ve been studying this week is Christ´s ministry in the americas and working to apply it better to my ministry in the americas... argentina. I was looking for comparisons and things i could do better. and two that i found from chapter 11 were that he was wearing white. It reminded me to wash my shirts really well even though they are starting to look a little yellow after more than 21 months. The other one was that after presenting himself and testifying of the Godhead He let all of the people one by one have a very personal and special experience feeling His wounds. Although my investigators won´t have that very same experience I can help them to have a very personal and special experience with feeling the power of His atonement by living the gospel of Christ. I´m very grateful for the scriptures and what I was able to studay this week. I hope you all have great experiences reading and studying the scriptures.

Love,
