but yeah... hmmm... this week has also been a crazy one for the books as we literally somehow found ourselves teaching at two of the biggest drug homes in this small town... but we had no idea!?! ha!!! also... a 14 year old girl we met has a baby and has been married for 3 years... like what!? is that even allowed!? ha ha ha. #goodolargentinamemories

| oh my goodness... i just love my life!!! && i love the familia galeano so stinkin much!!! ahhh... i never ever ever wanna leave baradero!!! # |
but yeah... and as for the actual work itself... we finally have found a golden!!! her name is maria rojas!!! and shes incredible!!! shes reading the book of mormon... and wow. the gift of tongues is so real people. its been such an incredibly experience watching my cute little hija, hermana doughty, with her simple spanish grow and speak through the spirit!!! wow. this truely is the work of the lord. and its so amazing to be on this side of the idioma to be able to see her learn and grow... && wow. im just filled with so much joy!!! #proudmommoment
but yeah... as we have met a wide variety of people this week... and i mean WIDE VARIETY. ha ha ha. i have come to really realize my purpose here as a missionary. and during my personal study i came across this scripture that really explains it better than i ever could... 2 nephi 2:8...
8 Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass theresurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.
wow... thats really the reason for it all folks!!! doesnt matter who you are, or where your from, or what you did or what you are doing... the fact of the matter is, without christ, our lord and savior, we cannot return to the prescence of god!!! its is through HIM and only HIM that we can repent and change our lives!!!!
and just to leave you with a last little mind thinker... i came across another scripture in 3 nephi 27:27...
27 And know ye that ye shall be judges of this people, according to the judgment which I shall give unto you, which shall be just. Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am.
&&& thats all she wrote folk!!! HE is our potential!!! and only through HIM can we become like HIM!!!! ahhhhh!!! i just love this gospel so stinkin much!!!! it really is the answer and the secret thats not even a secret to happiness!!! ha ha ha.
i love my heavenly father and his unconditional love and generiosity to me in my life... especially to send his son, my lord and redeemer, to suffer and die for me!!! we really are so incredibly blessed to have this knowledge!!!
thanks for all your love and support mi quieridas... siempre!!! ustedes son las mejores!!!! :) :) :)
les amo un monton!!!!!
