Bautismo!! God is aware of all his children

Hola amigos!
This week has been so great and things have been pretty crazy here especially with all that's happened in Buenos Aires with the soccer teams Boca and River. Some fans care a little too much and here soccer is everything but the final has been postponed 3 times now due to attacks to the players and other stuff. Crazy Stuff! you'd think they'd just want to watch the game haha

DyC 112:10 Be thou humble, and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand and give thee answer to thy prayers

This scripture has helped me a ton this week and is one of my new favorites. We just need to be humble enough and God will lead us by the hand and give us answer to our prayers. This is something I know, and have experienced, and this week my testimony of the power of prayer and the love that heavenly father has for his children was strengthened. 

I was feeling discouraged when I realized how many people have lived and are living in the world without the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their lives. I was so sad! To see so many of Gods Children suffering and dealing with things I've never had to deal with. 
What determines the situation your born into?
Why was I blessed to be born into the Gospel, to a loving family, food always on the table and endless opportunities for my future?
This is not the case here in Argentina and the rest of the world, and to think of how many will never hear the message of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I was pretty discouraged. 

But I turned to prayer and the scriptures, and I was reading a part in 2 Nephi, I don't remember where but I remember feeling so much love. Not for myself but for the world. It was so different than anything else and I got a confirmation that God is aware of all his children. He knows all of them with such a perfect knowledge and loves them with such a perfect love. I also know without a doubt that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. No other book is so powerful

This week I did intercambios con Elder Burningham and that was so much fun! I learned a lot and we did a lot of good. He's got plans to go to ByuH after his mission so you know its gonna be a party

And this Saturday we had the baptism of Mauricio who is the nephew of Augusto who just randomly found us on the street after being inactive for 20 years. Crazy story for another time! But it was awesome and so great to see him get baptized and then confirmed Sunday

And this morning we played soccer and I'm in divisiones con Elder Bustos de España because our comps didn't want to play haha

Ok that about it and here's a quote I heard from the prophet one time

"if you are keeping the commandments of God, you will have Joy everyday of your life."

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

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

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
