Tengo Gozo en mi Alma March 25, 2019

This week was so great
We were having some trouble finding people to teach, and one of the
people that we had visited told us he had a "twin" when we went back
to talk to him, and that his twin that we had talked to wasn't there.
It was obviously the same guy but pretty funny!
But after talking with a ton of people we had a pretty amazing
experience and found a family that has been prepared to hear the
gospel. My Testimony of the Holy Ghost and its ability to guide us has
grown immensely. After the lesson my comp started crying and it was a
special moment for us. We were so grateful for the faith we had to
keep talking and keep knocking on doors, knowing that people are
prepared for this message, even when sometimes everyone rejects it.

And that was something that Elder Bragg talked about when he came to
talk to us! Hes from the quorum of the seventy, and it was an awesome
conference. He talked of the Temple that is going to be in Salta, and
the trust the Lord has in us to prepare the people for The House of
The Lord. Knowing of that trust, we as missionaries can have the faith
to talk with everybody and share the Gospel, because this land is
prepared to have a temple. Pretty cool stuff

It was fun going to Salta for the conference because we stayed
overnight and saw a lot of old friends and old companions. We walked
the streets of Salta Friday night and it was freezing but it was a fun
time.

EMILCE GOT BAPTIZED!!

She is so amazing, and I'm so grateful to have seen her change these
past few weeks. More than anything I've seen the power the Gospel of
Jesus Christ has to Change us. The whole branch went to her baptism
and my hijito got to baptize and it was all such a cool experience. I
love my Savior and I'm so grateful for his gospel in my life, and this
time that I have to share it with others.

This week I was so happy. I felt so much peace. And I felt so much Joy
to be a missionary at this time. Sunday Emilce was confirmed a member
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I also gave a
talk,and played piano! Its a lot of work it a little branch but I love
it.

We need to see the Eternal Potential of Everybody! We are ALL far from
Perfect, but the beauty of this gospel is that we can become better.
Our Father in Heaven is Patient,
If he is patient with us we should be patient with others. All God has
ever had to work with is imperfect people, but through small and
simple things he brings to pass great and marvelous things.
Love you all!
Elder Blackburn

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

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

Jesucristo Basta- April 22, 2019

This week was amazing. We are working pretty hard in an area that's pretty hard, but in my 3 months here I've seen a change and I know the Lord has big plans for his children here in Embarcacion. Some Experiences from this week. As we were walking in the street we heard a huge rumbling in the distance, and we couldn't figure out what it was. It sounded like a crowd cheering or something like that.  After a little bit we realized that it was RAIN! And it was coming FAST. The streets turned to mud in seconds and we began running from literal wall of rain. WE got soaked but ran to a nearby house of someone we are teaching! Another day we were walking and a little girl in front of us was with her family. She turned around and asked us about the people that hurt Jesus. We had never talked to them before, but she seemed to recognize us as servants of the Lord, and we began talking to her and her family about Christ, and our message, and we set up another appointme
