Hey guys,
It´s been a good week of transfers! We got
to know our new zone on Friday in our district meetings- They are super
awesome we´re excited! President Cook sends the best missionaries to La
Costa, I love them a ton!
And, we are making some good
progress with Gonzalo. (He is the husband of Natalia, the less active.)
they recently had their baby, angelina. So it´s a PERFECT time to talk
about the plan of salvation with them. We´ve really been trying to help
Gonzalo with reading and praying- He wants to gain a testimony, but
still doesn´t fully understand that reading the Book of mormon everyday,
and asking Heavenly Father if it´s true is the way to get it. We´re
excited for him- And they came church yesterday! We had our Primary
Program in El Bosque yesterday, and the little Niños sang their
corazones out! It was super awesome. I know that Gonzalo is starting to
feel welcome in our ward.
Silvana is still fighting to endure
to the end! The apartment is still being fixed, and she can´t leave her
house until the 10th of november. Keep praying for her! Her situation
with Diego is getting more complicated. She turned him in for Domestic
Violence, and he threw out some nasty threats against her. She kind of
scared, but she has such faith! She really is my hero! She just needs to
wait 2 more weeks, and then she can leave the house, get baptized and
start over. We´re excited for her!!!
Emilina and Manuel, the
spaniards, also came to church. They are pretty old, and don´t
understand too much. I love them so much, they love to listen to us, but
I don´t know if they are going to be able to get baptized. Either way,
we´ll just do baptisms for the dead in a few years! :) They´re great!
We´ve
also been finding some really really cool people! We found Julian,
who´s the boyfriend of one of the young women in the ward. He´s a stud,
and we also found a FAMILY while we were tracting one day! Silvia and
Marcelo. (And their kids) They are still a little hesitent to take the
charlas, but Silvia´s dad, or grandpa, is a member, and gave her a book
of mormon like 20 years ago! So she has a base, and they are just GOOD
people. I´ll keep you posted! They seem like they have potential.
I
love you all, I hope you have a great week! The church is TRUE, and
it´s so simple. If we obey, we are blessed. Keep the commandments, be
prepared, and ye shall not fear.
Chau!
