The Hand of The Lord

This week went by pretty fast because we had conferencia de Zona, and weve been contacting and teaching a ton! Elder Garcia and I are having a blast and seeing so many tender mercies. We have a couple baptisms planned for the upcoming weeks, and each day I feel like im starting to get the hang of this spanish thing! 

In the Conference we talked about how our time as a missionary is sacred and consegrated, and a time that only comes once in your life, where you can devote everything to the Lord. And Im so grateful for this time I have to serve the Lord and the people here in Argentina. I love the culture and the people here, and Its amazing how much love you feel for the people you are called to serve.

Especally now in our mission, we have the important task of building a people who will be prepared for a temple in Salta, and the Lord trusts us to help the people prepare. Sometimes it can get disgouraging because it feels like we arent seeing as much progress as wed like, but I dont have any doubts because this truly is the work of the Lord. 

Ive realized how much that God works through other people. As I look back it is so evident that he has placed certain people in our path to help with the progress of other people. His hand is so evident and we need to humble ourselves enough to seek to do his will. 

La comida: 
This sunday I wasnt feeling that good, and after we finished up contacting a house I went to the side of the road and threw up everything! Literally cleaned out my stomach and I felt a lot better after and my comp looked at me with a look in his eye that said, ¨poor guy¨ and then handed me a mint. And then we taught 2 more lessons. And then the next day Elder Garcia through up while we were driving to tafi de Valle, so we mustve ate something bad

Sunday was a good day though because I met my friend the horse but he didnt want to talk so I chased him

    I remember taking a trip to Tafi del Valle! The road up there was crazy! Lots of windy turns and twists and drop-offs... I wonder if that's why your comp up-chucked?

    On your way there you passed two of my favorite areas, Lules and Famaillá. I hope one day you cross paths with people I knew.

    Looks like you're doing a lot of great work, Elder!

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
