Salta La Linda Nov 11, 2019

First off, this week we ate with the familia soto, and their grandma
is my favorite person in the world. She is literally mama coco "from
the movie coco haha" and she doesn't speak spanish. She only knows
Quechua and it was hilarious because she was telling us a story, and
it got pretty intense. I didn't understand anything, and it was one of
the funniest things I've heard, but I didn't want to laugh because I
wasn't sure if it was a sad story or not. Her daughter translated for
us and she ended up teaching us words and phrases in quechua.Mama coco
is awesome and she has such a deep love for Christ and her father in
heaven.

We did a plaza abierta in Rosario de Lerma and it was super great! a
lot of missionaries went and even the assistants helped out. We placed
stands in the square and even a tent with a tv showing the trailer for
the Book of Mormon videos, and we invited everyone to come and learn
more about the church and our message. We talked to some great people,
and I love explaining more about the church, because almost everyone
has heard about ̈the Mormons ̈but have no idea what they believe. When
we explain how its the restored Church of Jesus Christ, it invites the
spirit and there is a spark of interest to know more and find out for
themselves if what we are saying is actually true.

This was probably my best week here in Palermo, and it was thanks to
the help from the members. you'd think we would've thought of that
before. They always have taught us the need to work together in
missionary work, but it's taken 16 months to get the hang of it.

Never before had I taught so many lessons with members of the church,
but it truly is the way it should be. They provide the friendship that
people learning about the church need, and help us find the people who
are really prepared for the Gospel.

This week we received changes and I'm going to the other zone in Salta!
I thought I was leaving but I just took a taxi to my new area haha and
Im with Elder Perkins! He was my companion in the MTC and he is so
awesome! wish us luck hahah

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

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
