Hey! What’s up chicos!
Well this was a great week! We are working hard! Right now we
are really tired because on Sat we helped a family move. They moved like 4
streets away. And so they didn’t have a truck or a car or anything and so we
just carried everything walking! And then went up 4 flights of stairs! Haha! Guess
I need to do more exercises! Haha! We were so tired! And that day we had eaten
milanesa and we were like satisfied and it was good and everything... but we
got destroyed moving that afterwards we went and bought a pizza and ham and
cheese empanadas! It was so good! I put that hot sauce you sent me on it! Haha!
And that was the night of the cultural celebration of the Cordoba temple. And
we got there late so we couldn’t see it... = ( But its okay. On Sunday morning
we went to the dedication and it was so cool! there was a spirit there that was
unforgettable! Argentina just feels so different now! It is the 2nd temple in
Argentina! And it is just amazing! I know we will feel a great difference
tomorrow when the temple opens and starts the ordinances! Im so excited! Wish
we could have gone to see it, but it’s like a 12 hour drive! But what is cool
is that since we are in the middle of capital here in Villa Crespo, we get to
meet a lot of people that came down for the dedication. They stopped first in
Bs As. and ya! So we met a lot of cool people here! The dedication was so cool!
Im so grateful that I was here to witness it! I also learned so much from Elder
Christofferson (that speaks perfect Spanish) and Elder Uchtdorf (that spoke a
little Spanish) and then the president of the area and the temple!
So we are working with a family. Their child isn’t baptized
and he is 9. They have been inactive for a while. And we have been building our
relationship with them but I just realized last night that there is no time to
waste, the kid needs the blessings and so does his family and so I was bold and
I told the mom exactly how it is. And she is going to talk to her husband and
then we are going to start helping him to get baptized. If they let us! But in
the same place that they live, we found a family that the mom was baptized when
she was a little girl in Salta Argentina. And so we are going to try and find
her records and then start teaching her family! =D and so we are seeing some
people come out of the woodworks and we are trying everything we can to find
these people!
So what we learned from the temple dedication was amazing
and it was exactly what a recent convert needed! But the exact reason why she
needed it was the reason she didn’t go. Her son passed away 6 months ago and Wednesday
is his birthday and so she is really sad and missing him! And so she didn’t
feel like going to church or anything! And so we passed by her house and shared
with her what we had learned from the dedication and I feel like it was exactly
what she needed! Obviously it would have been better coming from the mouth of
an apostle. But I tried my best! =D she was still sad but when we walked away
she was smiling! (Oh! it was that lady that you were fighting with on face
book. Claudia) (and I don’t mean fighting fighting, just the lady that said
that I’m not going home and all that stuff hahaha! !)
So about school, I’m not exactly sure but I think I will
just get on and sign up for my self. But if I can’t I’ll let you know what to
do. I think for the first semester I’ll just finish up my generals. And then I
want to take a Spanish class. And ya! We’ll see what happens!
Love you all and have a great week!
