Hey dad,
I think that i rival Anchorages snow inch mark with the
amount of sweat inches ive sweated, but they still beat me by a few
centimeters. Oh so something happened the other day. I was looking at
this brochure that they gave to the missionaries to be able to buy a
cover made of leather and with pictures drawn into the leather. I
looked at the prices and they were in American dollars. My mind didnt
know how to compute that so it turned the dollars into pesos in my
head and then i understood how much it would cost me. I need
help..hah. But really that incident made me think about a lot of the
things that i do and live through each day. My life here isnt really
that bad at all, its just really different than anywhere else. I
prayed alot to the Lord to help me become accustomed to the people,
the culture, the weather, the language, the everything really, and I
know that he has helped me out abundantly. In some ways almost so much
that i consider Argentina as normal and everything about what happens
here as perfectly right. Its hard to explain but alls i know is that
the Lord just poured out a million blessings to me and they are still
raining down, I wish that kind of wonderfullness on every person that i
meet here. It is difficult to help someone out when they dont want to
change or even want the help at all. I see it in members,
investigators, and missionaries and also in myself sometimes haha. Its
a real bother but when the people are ready to accept the help or want
to change we are here on the spot to help them out and show them how
they can make their lives directed into an eternal perspective. Thanks
for everything dad! Love ya old guy.
Hi momma,
This week was supurb! We got a referal the other day for a
family that lives in the middle of a neighborhood that is supposedly
´dangerous´ according to my comp. We went there and he was walking
around with his scriptures in his hands just tight as a rat at a cats
concert.. I knew that we would be protected if we just did the Lords
bidding and contacted this family. We went there and i saw the danger
level rise as we got into more slummy slums, we turned a corner, and
saw... nothing.. There was no danger, only the thoughts that my comp
had, well has. I had to practically drag him there and i have to drag
him to our appointments because he just doesnt care or something.
Frustrating.. Easter was okay though. The people here just make
chocolat eggs and watch all the movies that have ever been made about
Jesus on television. I never once heard anything about an Easter
Bunny. Oh and i learned that the tooth fairy doesnt come here because
they have someone else. His name is Ratón Perez, translation, Perez
the Rat haha. He sneaks in and takes the teeth and leaves a peso for
the lucky loser of a tooth. Anyways, yesterday evening we had the most
spiritual lesson that i have ever had in my entire mission!! It was
sooo cool!! Garsh it was perfect. In the middle of the lesson we asked
the investigator how he felt, he said he felt weird. Then he pointed
at me and said when i talked he felt the most weirdest. Aka the spirit
was just shouting at him haha it was really the thing that has made
this whole time worth it. I just love this time so much! Love you too
