Jesus is the Christ

Hola mis amigos!

This was my first week with Elder Rios and we found so many new people to teach. 

Today we played soccer with some people were teaching, and one of them plays professionally here in Argentina and it was so fun to play with him. Hes crazy good

We didn't get robbed but the other two companionship's in our district did so that sucks

Its becoming more natural to share with others that the Church of Jesus Christ has been restored, that families can be forever, and that a prophet is on the earth today to guide us in an ever changing world. I've learned a lot already from Elder Rios, especially how to talk to everyone we come in contact with. LITERALLY everyone! People have been prepared to accept the restored gospel and the only way well find them is if we open our mouths. 

I'm teaching my comp English and hes helping me a ton with my Spanish. 

This week was amazing because we are really seeing how people are progressing in the gospel and how it is blessing their lives. Roque received the priesthood and now hes passing the sacrament, and I can remember the moment we saw him in the street and felt like we should talk to him. To think of the change he and his family have had is why we work so hard to share this message with everyone we can. 
And Francisco and Nelson will get the priesthood next week and will be a light and blessing to their families to invite the spirit in their home

1 Nephi 17 ¨If God had commanded me to do all things, I could do them¨

This week we had the Christmas Devotional and it was so great! I love this time of year because it brings people together despite their differences in beliefs. Jesus is the Christ. The Son of God. The Light and Life of the World. He lived and died for all, whether they believe in his name or not, and he lives and guides his church today. 

That's about it. Hopefully maxi will get baptized this Saturday

Love you all and FELIZ NAVIDAD

hi guys! This week was awesome and I hope all is well with everyone. We had a baptism, and we are preparing people for the weeks to come, and I am loving the work here in Embarcacion! There is still a ton of heat and rain but what else is new? and our apartment is undergoing construction so that kinda sucks but once its ready its gonna be great.  We are teaching a family that's going to get baptized soon, and in one of the lessons there was a girl that showed up and stood behind a chair. Afterwords we asked her if shed like to come to an activity in the church and she said yes but that we had to ask her mom. we went and ended up teaching their whole family! we are now teaching all of them and preparing them for baptism!  This week I also ate two of the best mangoes I've ever had in one of our lessons two guys ran a motorcycle into a fence and it looked like they had stolen it. but then a group of guys with machetes and sling shots appeared and they almost started to

Hey guys! This week was so great! it was the first week in my new area with my new comp. Elder Espinola is from Buenos Aires and hes super great! Weve had a lot of fun. Also I love Embarcacion! Its small and the church is a branch so theres only like 15 people each week and our area is kinda in the middle of nowhere. Parts we have to teach kinda in the jungle and almost all the roads are dirt. The people are amazing and there are soccer fields and mango trees literally EVERYWHERE! In one house I ate 8 mangoes and they were so freaking good! And as we were leaving we passed a soccer field and they kicked the ball to me and told me to start juggling. That was fun and we told them wed come play with them later.  This week my comp asked me if I spoke Spanish before the mission, so that made my day! Before I left I barely knew anything haha, but I'm grateful for the companions I have had that have helped me progress with the language. BEES! We had an activity for the kids We

We got transfers and it turns out Im gonna train a new missionary so that's gonna be interesting! We go to Salta Tuesday to pick up our ¨sons¨ haha Now let me tell you about Emilce: Shes a woman that we recently started to teach and here is her story. She had recently had her baby, but after it was born she got sick and her baby too. She was in the hospital, and while there, couldn't sleep due to her sickness and stress about her baby. While there she was sharing a room with another woman (a member of the Church) and one day some people came to give her a priesthood blessing. Afterwords they asked Emilce if shed like a blessing too and she said yes. After the blessing she said she felt her chest expand with love. That night she slept for the first time in 4 days.      In the days that followed her baby's situation got worse, and it was suffering a lot. Emilce remembered that her roommate at the hospital had taught her how to pray, and although she hadn't
