Wow! - Nov. 10

What a great week!! Really we have been working a lot and the Lord really has been blessing us!!

There is a family that we have been working a lot with the fam. Arias and this week we watched the movie of Jose Smith with them! It was really good! They were able to feel the spirit so much!! And really it was great to be able to remember what Jose has done for us!! He gave everything so that we could have the church again on the earth! And really I am so grateful for him!!! I know that Jose was a prophet and that through him we received the restored gospel! 

Also there is a member that just got back from his mission and he has been dating a non member and we stared teaching her!! She is great! She really wants to know more about the gospel and she is progressing a lot!!! We are excited to be able to help her keep progressing and help her to be bauptized she is going to  be bauptized 29 of Nov! 

We are excited! Also because we have finally been able to find more people to teach!!! 

This week I learned completely about the power of the Book of Mormon!! Really! We had a person to visit and we went to there house and they weren't home and so we knocked on his neighbors door! And a man comes out.. and he was mad and said that he didn't want to talk with us.... all that jazz and told us that he didn't believe in God or anything.. well I started sharing my testimony about God and that we are his children and I felt really strongly that I should talk with him about the Book of Mormon all I asked was if he had read the book and he said no but had heard of it. I started talking about Aaron when he was teaching the King Lamoni and how he didn't believe in God but Aaron shared his testimony and then the king started to believe and all of the sudden he goes do you have that book, and I said can we sit down and I will tell you all about it!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!! He is really a great guy and we feel super bad for him because he is suffering so much he has heart problems and he smokes and family problems... it is really sad. We shared with him our testimonies and he really opened up. I could see the power of the Book of Mormon and that really it can change the hearts of all people!!! 

I invite you all that you can read the Book of Mormon everyday!!! Really this book is AMAZING!!!!!! And it is full of the teachings of God!! Really I love it so much!!! 

I am so happy to be a missionary!!! Really it is something amazing and it has completely changed my life!!! It is crazy to thing that I have been here for 13 months!! I cant believe it! But I am still going to live up the 5 months that I have!!! It is crazy how time flies when you are having fun!!! 

Haha and thank you all for telling me I can't write in English!! Haha I know and also I can't talk!! Haha you should all learn Spanish it is a whole lot easier!! Haha I keep telling my comp that it would be nice to have a north american comp. to finish my mission because I can help her with her Spanish and she can help me with my English!! 

Talk with you all next week! :)

It has been a great week!! - Nov. 3

Wow what a crazy week!!! Really haha it has been a great week!! This week we have been focusing a lot on finding new people to teach!!! Because we haven't been having a lot of progress with some people!! God has blessed us and we have been able to find some new people to teach!!! 

The family Arias I will be writing a lot about them in the weeks to come!! 2 weeks ago I talked about a boy that told us that he was surprised that we can hear so good because he had been praying we would come. Well we have been teaching them! They are 6 people mom dad and 4 sons!! The mom and dad are members and one of their sons! Two of the others are preparing right now to be bauptised!! Well this week we have been working with them and it has been great!! One of the sons is 18 and he has been going to a different church all of his life but he likes listening to us and he is learning a lot!! The other is 9 and he wanted be be baptized forever but his parents didn't let them because they were mad at the church! Well this week we brought them some new scriptures and gifts and it made them really happy! We got them a triple... haha I don't remember what it is called but the Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants and the pearl of Great Priest together because they never have had one and they were really happy!! It was nice!! This week she old us "hermana don't worry, all of us are going to go to church this week!!" It was great!!! Yesterday it was raining and they didn't make it to take the sacrament.. and then all of the sudden they walked in!! It was great!! After we went to talk with them and the mom told me. "Hermana this morning we woke up early so that we could make it on time and then the car would not start but nothing was going to stop me from coming!!" It was really good!!! 

Also we went to Salta this week! It was pretty! My comp had to do her tramites to be legal here in Argentina. 

Yesterday we had 5 invest., in the church it was great!!! Really!!! 

Also yesterday our fast and testimony meeting was super good!! The spirit was so strong!! The members are progressing a lot here which makes me happy!! We have been invited the members to talk with the Branch Pres. if they don't have a calling to ask for one so that they can help us work in  the work of the Lord! And they are actually doing it!! It is great!! We are having a lot more people that are willing and ready to work!!

Oh my I almost forgot!! Yesterday Juan blessed the sacrament!! It was so great!! He was super nervous but he did great!! He is progressing so much!! And doing great! He has made a complete change in his life and really it is amazing!! It was so great to see him up front using his Priesthood to help us be able to take the sacrament! It was great really!!! 

Well this week will be great!! I am excited to work and have a great week!! It has been super hot here.... like 104 degrees and I am telling the truth!! It is crazy!! And will be getting hotter!! I am super tan again!! Haha but right now it is chilly again and it has been raining!!! Well I am hoping for a good week that isn't too hot!!! 

Talk with you all soon!! 

Another week down! - Oct. 27

Wow it is so crazy to see how fast time flies!! Really this week has been great!! Full of a lot of work!! We have been having a hard time finding new people to teach so we have been working a lot with the less active members and our converts!! It was a really pretty week!! We have been meeting with a family this week that I talked about last week that their son prayed that we would come. Well we have been talking with them and this week they shared with us before that they became inactive that they had plans to go to the temple to be sealed and now more then ever it is what they want it was so amazing really when they told us that we both started to like freak out inside!!! haha!! It has been really great because although they were going to church for a long like they didn't really understand a lot of things and they didn't have testimonies! We talked a lot about the the problems that they had with the church like a living prophet and tithing and it was really good!  They told us that the missionaries had never explained these things in a way that they could understand and now they are understanding!! Really it was so great!!! We invited them to pray a lot so that they could get there answer form God and receive a testimony!! Yesterday we were talking with them and the dad his name is Perdo stopped the lesson and says Hermana I have a question. "Why do I feel something differnt when we are with you?? It is like I forget about the things that I am worried about and I am at peace and I just feel good. Why??" It was amazing!!!!!! Because in that moment my comp and I felt the spirit so strong and even better we know that he is having a change of heart and understanding the things that we are teaching them!! It was so great!!! Really!

Also haha I am going to be directing a choir!! haha it should be interesting!!! But yesterday while they were singing they all sounded good kind of... haha lets just say that the latin people can't always sing all that well! But we are going to have district conference and so that is why we are doing it!! I hope that it sounds good because presidente Chaparro will be there! Our mission pres! 

Well I hope that all of you are doing good!! I would love to get more letters from everyone!!! Love you so much!! 

Oh my I  almost forgot!!! This week we talked with a Pastor! It was more like fought, it was crazy!! We have been teaching a lady and her granddaughter for a couple of weeks that are going to his church and this week he was at the house waiting for us when we came to talk with them!! It was crazy!!!! We never came to an end and i am pretty sure that he hates us now.  I know that I taught him the truth, and the best part all though he didn't want the 2 to come to church with us and said that they couldn't they both were with us yesterday and it was great!!
