Hello my dear friends!
This week blew by! I went on a long 2 day division again this week! I went and worked in a trio which was fun! Their names are Elders Brazzel and Trent. They are both studs! I swear that the Lord sends them more and more prepared every time! I guess I have to submit to the fact that Jonah and Alec are better missionaries than me. It's doctrine. You can't argue with doctrine. They are so funny those two! Especially Elder Brazzel. I thought he was weird but then I got to know him and I about died because he made me laugh so much!
It's so funny talking with new missionaries in Spanish because they struggle soooo hard to express themselves but miraculously it comes out in an understandable way! We had a pretty rough week as far as numbers go. We worked hard but we think the Lord punished us for letting time slip doing stupid stuff. We learned our lesson fast because Saturday we walked around for about 5 hours straight without sitting down to teach even one lesson! That night my comp and I talked and we came to the conclusion on a couple of things. We made adjustments and Sunday we had an awesome day! We had two guys walk into the house during one of our lessons. They grabbed seats and joined right in!
It was so funny, we were reading in Moroni 10:3-5 about how we can know if the Book of Mormon is true. When we got talking about the Holy Ghost and how he works I explained that he talks through subtle promptings and we feel peace and love and stuff like that. I said that in some churches they act like the spirit makes them fall to the floor and tremble and that is not how he works. right as i said that one of the two guys named Emanuel said, "It's interesting how you say that the Holy Ghost doesn't make us fall because that actually happened to me, I have experienced it." I about died right there! haha
And on top of that earlier in the week while on divisions with Elder Hales in his area, we were talking about how our parents are a gift from God. I said I know that my parents love me. If they were abusive or something like that I probably wouldn't love them. And then the kid said, "Actually my dad hits me a lot...." I wanted to die again! I need to stop talking so much i guess...
I had a great birthday. A recent convert bought me an ice cream cake and that is how we celebrated; that and empanadas!!!! It was a normal p day. We studied, cleaned, bought groceries, and played paddle. Simple but perfect.
I love you all so much! I hope you all know that I love the mission! I love it like Argentina loves Messi!
