Family Search Feb 8, 2020

Lately we have been blessed with lots of rain, and that has been a
nice break from the heat. This week we had 3 conferences in 3 days, in
3 zones and that was actually really fun! We started in Salta, and
then went to Jujuy and Tartagal.

On the way to Tartagal we passed through my fav lil pueblo of
Embarcacion. So many emotions as we drove by that night! I have so
many memories, and personal experiences from one of the hardest but
best times of my mission. It was definitely a turning point for me,
and I was humbled to be able to visit again. On the way back we
stopped and for 10 minutes said hi to Facundo and his wife. He was the
one who was pretty stubborn when I was there, and who decided to be
baptized a couple weeks ago! It was a special reunion and I'm so
grateful for the chance I had to see them again.

On Friday we drove to Tucuman to help with a Family Search Activity in
a Park. Family search is the Church's app that helps families find
their deceased loved ones online and learn about them and who they
were. It was super fun.

I had a cool experience helping Rocio find out more about her mom who
had passed away a few years ago. I saw that she had already talked to
the missionaries a few minutes before, and was reading the title page
of the Book of Mormon. I walked over and after talking for a bit,
invited her over to the stand we had. She accepted and we helped her
make an account! People are drawn to our message for the hope it
brings us. Families can truly be together forever.

Today we went to the mountains nearby Salta and we took some cool
pics! Hasta luego

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

He Lives!

Another week of Conferences and traveling around the mission, but we finished on friday so now we get to take a rest! Well not really because next week we are helping with the PFJ (efy) in Tucuman, so that'll be fun to talk to a bunch of the youth. Then we have more meetings for the new missionaries who got here 6 weeks ago, and then we'll receive more new missionaries in the days that follow. A lot of missionaries are planning activities with the Book of Mormon and their wards and branches, and we go to help them as well so things aren't really slowing down if you think about it. But I'm loving it. I learn so much everyday from everybody, and I've been setting personal goals to help me get closer to Jesus Christ, and to make the most of the little time I have left as a missionary for his Church. This week we had conferences in Jujuy and Salta, and they both were so awesome! In every conference we talked about the Restoration, and I'm grateful because every time
