Soccer Competitions for Lessons


Hola Everyone,

Hope all is well! This week was so fast as usual, but we fit in so much!

We were walking down the street and saw some guys who we have tried talking to in the past who they said they weren't interested, and they were juggling a soccer ball. We walked up to them and I said that if I could juggle more than him then we get to share our message with them. They agreed, and I won! They didn't have much time but we ended up sharing a scripture and it was such a cool experience!

oh and elder Baum got bit by a dog, but it was super soft so hes all good.

Ruben had his baby and her name is Naiomi Valentina and shes so awesome! They have a date to get married next week and then a baptism date for the Saturday after conference! We read Alma 5 with him and he opened up about how he felt like he has felt a similar change in his heart and the spirit was so strong and we got to share our testimonies of the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ. 

We were also sharing a scripture with a member who at first I thought we would just stop by but we ended up talking with her and shared a scripture and she started crying and it was a testament to me that in every moment we can be examples of Jesus Christ if we strive to seek his will and then follow it.

In Mosiah 16´9 it says how Jesus is the light and the life of the world. Its a pretty simple verse but it is so true because Christ is literally the Light and Life of the world. This has brought me so much peace and comfort and the people that we have been teaching. No matter the darkness we have in our lives, Jesus Christ is above it all and has the power to alieve us of that.

We were also teaching this family that was drinking matte in the street and we ended up teaching them about the restoration. It was so amazing to share the experience of the first vision in Joseph Smiths own words, and the spirit was testifying of the truthfulness of our message, that the Church of Jesus Christ is once more on the Earth. 

Conference this weekend is going to be so great, and I cant wait to hear the words of the Living prophets of God. Something I've always admired of President Nelson is his humility before the Lord, and his desire to understand the will of God and then follow it. We need to continually humble ourselves before God, and seek his will before ours, and the promise is that then our weaknesses will become our strengths. 

Love you all, things are good here in Tucuman Argentina! all the members have told me I've gained weight so maybe Ill start eating less facturas, but probably not

Dengue Fever May 20,2019

FEVER. This week i got pretty sick with a high fever. It started to take its toll in Lunch in a members house, and everyone started to say it was Dengue and that i should go to the Doctor! Seeing as there is a dengue EPIDEMIC here in northern Argentina I figured they could be right and we went to the doctor to check my blood. Were still waiting for the results, but i feel all good now so don't worry, I don't have Dengue! I was in bed for most of the day Wednesday but I asked Elder Gonzalez for a blessing and I'm feeling a lot better!  Wednesday was his birthday, so naturally I made him some banana bread (the only thing I kinda know how to make haha) GOD IS GOOD. We are teaching this amazing family right now and I just love them. They live in this abandoned warehouse that doesn't have electricity and they are the happiest people I know! They know they don't have much but they realize that its not the things in life that are important.  they have their family, which i

Already Two Weeks!

Que Pasa Calabazas! I cant believe its been two weeks here. Ever since the first day time has flown by! The language was coming so quickly and I learned so much in the first week, I just need to make sure that I keep learning and dont get stagnant. Also things have gotten into a rythm here so its jsut been a blur!  On thursday, it was our last lesson with daniela and it went really well. I feel like we followed the spirit and were able to answer her questions about baptism! Friday We prepared for our next people we are teaching, Ignasio and Salma! we also did a service project during gym time and that was awsome!  Saturday, We had our first lesson with ignasio and we learned alot! we kinda overwhelmed him with info when we should have realized that he had a limited knowledge of God. It was still great though and we testified of what we knew to be true. Sunday was great and we learned a lot about aligning our will with the will of God. Also Our district leader was appoint

The Holy Ghost Nov 25, 2019

So a lot happened this week but more than anything, my testimony of the power of the Holy ghost was strengthened. We have been teaching this lady named Elizebeth. Well she came to church this Sunday and she offered to say the last prayer in her class and started to cry. Elder pekins and I saw it from a distance and he gave me a fat hug haha we were so happy for her. She felt the spirit in that moment and later shared with us how she received an answer that the Book of Mormon is true. After a lesson with her she asked, "so when can we put a date for my baptism?" We were amazed! That's normally something we invite the people to do, but I guess the spirit beat us to it. And that's how it should be I guess, because conversion comes through the Holy Ghost. Also shout out to my companion for always being intune with the spirit. One night we were looking for a family, couldn't find them, and so we asked people if they knew anyone we could visit that needed a mes
