Week 72 --- Transfers . . .
SQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I have finished another transfer, 5 left. Soooooo I´m staying here as
District leader to finish training my companion. I´m pretty darn happy about
that.
So this week started off badddddddddddddddddd, until Thursday we
didn´t have any news, and we hadn´t taught like any lessons. Then we did
exchanges, the four of us in my area, and me and Elder Thompson went to work,
and the struggles continued, 2 hours walking in the heat, and nothing, so we
sat down to think of something to do, but instead we just prayed. After the
prayer the first place we went to we found 5 new people to teach, and one of
them said he considered himself Mormon because he used to go to church alllllll
the time, but never was baptized. We ended the day with 12 new investigators.
It was sick.
Also we had a sick asado (Argentina BBQ) because Elder Botehlo
finished a year in the mission, so that was fun. Sorry for such a short email,
I´ll do better next time BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 71 --- dat cheese doh
SQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooooo here´s the thing, we did some stuff this week, and now Ima tell y’all.
Sooooo We went on exchanges again right? I went with Elder Botehlo to start,
and we went to some guy we had met over a month ago, who had asked us for a
blessing, because he knew we had the power and authority to do it. For some
reason he stopped receiving the missionaries, so we went because me and Elder
Botehlo were the first 2 to talk to him. We talked very firmly with him, and he
admitted he knew our church was the only true church, but he said that he´s
gonna stay in the Catholic church... WHAT!?!? How can you knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
our church is true, and not follow in this path. I don´t know!!!!!!! I was
really frustrated.
Ohhhhh wanna know why I put dat
cheese doh as the subject. Well during exchanges we ordered a pizza and Elder
Botelho and my comp got sick, and the next day we had a special conference with
an area seventy, and my companion got a little sick, and threw up in front of
our mission president’s wife. So that was a little awkward.
Other cool thing, the other elders
in my district had a baptism this last Saturday, and I met their convert during
exchanges, and it was kinda weird because she asked me to baptize her. It was
pretty cool.
Also me and Elder Thompson, during
exchanges we did some service, and we spent 2 hours in a tiny room sanding the
walls. So that was pretty fun.
Well that´s all I got to share with
you lovely people this week, bye!!!!!!!!!!

Week 70 - BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SQUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was crazy! This last week, things just kinda worked out, and we had a baptism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you know how a few weeks ago we baptized a little girl named Mia? Well Saturday we baptized her mom too!!!!! Go team. You know a lot of stuff was goin on, things that were pretty difficult, but you know what happens when we endure through tough times? God blesses us, and that is what happened. We are so darn happy. Soooo it was a weird week, we went on exchanges for 3 straight days, it was nuts, and it was raining every single day. It was sick, I was with Elder Botehlo, and we had pretty good success. One day we found 7 new people and set 4 new baptismal dates. It was pretty sick.
Ohhhh also when we were on exchanges, we were all in one area, and someone came and knocked on our door, and the four of us went to answer the door, and we opened it, there were 2 Jehovah Witness missionaries standing there, and this young man with a look of fear on his face, said " Ohhhh you´re Mormons" then he said sorry to bother you and they left. It was a pretty funny experience.
To end I just wanna share a scripture from D&C 97:
7 The ax is laid at the root
8 Verily I say unto you, all
9 For I, the Lord, will cause
I know that if we are willing to keep our covenants with God, with whatever sacrifice he requires, he will make us a fruitful tree. We will bring to pass much good in the world. I have experienced this more times than I can count during my mission.
