I hope everyone is doing so wonderful! As always I dont have much time and so I am going to try and write fast.
Thanks
so much to everyone that wrote me! I got a wonderful letter from Sarah and Momma! Thanks so
much! I am going to be able to write everyone back today hopefully.
About the Christmas package, I really would love
some more pictures of the property and the treehouse and family! I miss
Tennessee´s beautiful fall leaves! Summer just got started here and its
pretty hot!
So... I want to talk about last Saturday's adventure
into Buenos Aires! So we were out doing our proselitismo and as usual,
it was hot. Well, Hermana Toki and I were walking down the streets in a
daze because it was sooo hot, and then suddenly this bee the size of a
computer mouse basically, flew at us and chased us down the street! I
tried so hard not to make a scene, but it was a monster, and I was so
afraid that I was going to die... Hahaha anyways I don't know why I was
so excited to tell that story... oh, after we ran a block or so with
this beast thing chasing us, we actually met a woman who was really
interested in the family aspect of the church. So blessings did follow
that trial!
Something really strange happened that day. A man
that we were teaching about the plan of salvation suddenly asked if we
had any information about a boy seeing a vision. He said that he knew it
was a random question, but he said that he had a dream that two norte
americanas (one was a girl with red hair) came and told him about a boy
who saw God. Wow. My companion and I didn't know what to say. We changed
our contact to the first vision, and talked to him for almost an hour
(because he was a security gaurd and we could teach him outside at a
little station... they don't have stop signs here, its all run by
guards). Well, anyways, we gave him a book of mormon, and told him to
come to church. We are giving his info to the other missionaries who
actually have that area. But that experience was super crazy. The only
bad thing is we had to spend a good half hour talking about how come he
wasn't a prophet. He was convinced that his dream about us was a
vision... hahaha sorry to burst your bubble buddy.
Ah! Elder Christofferson
came! It was so incredible. He recognized me, and so did his wife. He
remembered our family and he said you made it here alive! Haha he also
gave me a box of Alfajores to distribute to all the other missionaries.
He is super nice. His message was about the importance of the Bom in our
studies and in the conversion of investigators. It really is the
keystone of our religion. Its pure truths cannot be denied. He said we
need to study it everyday, and so that we have power when we testify of
it.
I am so excited that I will have investigators to
write about in a month. Yep. Super ready for that! The month mark for me
being here is on sunday. Wow, time has flown by. Spanish is still super
hard. We are now in the stage where our teachers just speak spanish,
and they dont respond to us when we use english. Yeah, its frustrating
sometimes, especially because I love to talk haha I am a toooon quieter
now. (Hard to believe huh fam?)
So I want to tell you a few funny Spanish mistakes that we have made:
1. Can we come back Apple? (supposed to say tomorrow)
2. You can be forgiven of all your fish. (sins) haha this one was me!
3. Do you want to drink with your family forever? (live)
4. The Father has a body of steak and eggs. (flesh and bones)
5. They were all prophets in China. (ancient times)
6. No one is in the sock. ( in the middle of our relationship with God)
7. Can we come back naked? (later...hahaha)
Some
of these were said to real investigatores on the street contacts we do.
Thankfully I haven't had too embarrassing of ones out there yet! (knock
on wood!)
Please keep up on family scripture study! You should be in Helaman now huh??I love yall!!
