I'm Blinded by the Lights!

Image
  We made it to the end of the tunnel!!! I realized that the work this week has gotten easier. It was a very fun and exciting week! Ingrown toenail This week I got an ingrown toenail taken out. It really was not an enjoyable process. Here when you get an ingrown toenail they just rip the bad boy off without even numbing it. It was probly about a minute and a half of straight pain! Then there was no pain at all. My toe feels 10 times better! The Amigos   We have some friends progressing towards baptism we have ALBERTO:  He's a goat. We found him like 2 weeks ago. He gave us a wrong address and we couldnt find his house. Luckily we ran into him again and this time he gave us the correct address! He wants to get baptized, but couldn't go to church this past week because of a nephew in the hospital. He has already gone to church once and he didn't really feel like it was the place for him. Now he's wants to go back to see if anything is different. Micaela:  We saw h...

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Image
This week has probly been one of my hardest weeks spiritually. This entire week was just full of trails, and spiritual tiredness.  The Tunnel This week was like a super long tunnel. Its started light, but as I continued into the tunnel it got darker. Its hard walking in the dark. You're constantly walking into rocks, walls, maybe even some night creatures that can see in the dark. Until you see a light at the end, and everything starts getting lighter. This tunnel example is a prime way to explain how I felt this week. I am currently walking towards the light at the end of the tunnel.  The darkness I talk about is... not having success, no new people to teach, members going inactive, members complaining to us about other members, just to name a few. All of this put a huge weight on pur shoulders, it felt like we were holding up the entire Ward. Because we don't have a Bishop, everybody comes to us to tell their things, and ask for help. At one point we couldn't even get out...

Full of Miracles

Image
 This week was literally full of miracles, but hardships as well. I really learned a lot this week. Not only from my companion but also friends, members and Other missionarys! Leadership Conference We had leadership Confernce this past week. It was my first one so it was really exciting. We focused a lot on the tools we have as missionarys to help people keep commitments (Chapter 11 of PMG). We all gave a run down of our goals and how we dod this past month in the zone. President Rhea afterwards gave a presentation on how we can stop using slang in the missionary work, and start respecting the missionarys and leaders in Argentina by calling them by their calling. Intercambios We had Intercambios this week with Elder Sousa and Skraba from the area Leones. They are both from Brazil. Elder Skraba: we lowkry had a hard time finding new people to teach. We contacted a lot of people but sadly nobody had intrest. Elder Skraba is a goat. He's very hardworking  Elder Sousa: My guy is a...

USA at War

Image
  How are we all doing? I hope you are all happy. I hope you are all doing well! War is striking This week I figured out that we are at war. Every single day, every single person that we talked to mentioned war. We would be walking down the street and a dude living in the street would run up to us and start asking how the war is going. We would be in lessons and the people we would teach would say "Did you know the United States is at war".  We were really confused at first, just thinking that they were making jokes. Until one day, every single person we contacted mentioned it... so we went straight to the source to see if it was true... Meta AI! Meta AI opened our minds and told us what is going on.  Now the entire mission knows, and they are starting to Crack jokes like "you may not even finish your mission, you may get drafted before you go home.". I think I'll be fine, I'll get to finish my mission. God Bless America God Bless the War Church Miracle This...

We Need a New Sunday School Teacher

Image
 How are we doing?? How is the weather where you live? Hows the family?  Those are all great questions... the real question is when are we going to get a new Sunday school teacher? Because he is not aceptable... Sunday School/Testimony Fiazco There's a member here named Carlos Silva, and his calling is the sunday school teacher. Now this guys classes are not spiritual at all. You guys are probly thinking that im over exaggerating... BUT IM NOT. I have not seen so many adults be mad. In the last class he made 2 moms cry. The craziest thing is that the members have been begging the stake president to change the teacher. I have no clue why he hasn't changed it. I got to experiment his class yesterday, and it was a rollercoaster. He loves getting really personal and tearing people apart. I don't know why but every class starts off with him yelling at people because they didnt read come, follow me. He really doesn't bring the spirit. Another thing he did was bear a very intr...
