QUE PASA FAMILIA!?!
wow... this week was so OSUM!!! did you know that i love being a missionary!? cuz i really do!! i love being the lord´s servant and serving his sheep here in argentina!! :)

foggy mornings from the apartment window...
can you spy one of our pigeon friends!? ha ha.
|
but yeah... the city is still rad, face paced and filled with people!! and... we get hit on multiple times a day. definietly more drunk men here in the concrete jungle. but its all good!! just adds for good laughs through out the day!! ha ha.
but yeah... this week was especially strange, becuase three of the days we woke up to thick fog. fog so thick when we walked down the street we couldn´t see farther than a few blocks!! it was so eery!! but kinda rad all at the same time!! :)
 |
our ward had a talent show this week...
hermana soto danced bolivian dance... so gorgous!!! love her!!!
|
anyways, we´ve been meeting with this investigator named vilma, and she seriously is SO awesome!! her mom is a recent convert and all her extended family are members, hence the referral. she even has a sister that moved to utah with her husband!! anyways, she really is wonderful, but she is the most stubborn, hard headed woman i have ever met!! ha ha. and she says her bible is perfect and she´ll believe anything that is in her bible. so... me and my comp took her word for it and looked for all evidences in the bible to show the need for the extended revelation of the book of mormon... and wow. seriously, every lesson we had with her was SO INCREDIBLE. seriously, the spirit was undeniable. and when i would testify my hands began to tremble from such a strong spirit!! like wow, this church is so true!! and the spirit is so real!! there is no way i could ever deny those feelings i felt... and it was amazing beacuse vilma felt them too!! ahh!! i was seriously so excited!!! i wanna see her in white so bad!! but yeah... unfortunately... she looked up some anti-mormon material online and so our last visit with her she had a totally and completely different spirit about her. seriously... broke my heart. there is nothing more heart breaking than seeing one of god´s children reject his word and gospel... wow. but yeah. we just testified about the truthfulness of this gospel and invited her to read the book of mormon becuase that was more ¨missionary-appropiate¨ then attempting to argue and stand up for our beliefs and all that we hold dear!! ha ha. anyways, i was then reminded of the fog that was had be walking through earlier that day... and then i was reminded of a scirpture found in first nephi 12:17...
17 And the mists of darkness are the temptations of the devil,which blindeth the eyes, and hardeneth the hearts of the childrenof men, and leadeth them away into broad roads, that they perishand are lost.

hermana escalante and hermana forte at yo service!!! :)

and wow... thats exactly what has happened to vilma!! and so many other wonderful people out there in the world that have reject or left the church and gone inactive... the fog has simply just blinded their eyes from the truth!!! we can´t let this happen to us and those we hold dear, my family and friends... we must be strong and hold to the rod that leads to the wonderful beyond wonderful tree of life!! we must pull in our friends that are wondering lost in the fog too!! becuase this rod, this gospel, leads us to happiness. there is no doubt about that!! yes, the great and spacious building may seem appealing to the eye... all temptation is appealing!! or else it wouldn´t be a tempation!! duh!! ha ha. anyways, i love this gospel and all the joy and happiness that comes from living it, but especially preaching it!!! :) i´m so grateful to my heavenly father for this opportunity!! :)
i love you all!! the church is true!! && the book is blue!!
