(We wrote to Jacob about a local service project) That’s super awesome
that you guys could help. Really the church is more than a church, more than a
community, more than a religion, more than a culture. It’s really the kingdom
of God, and these small things that we do to worry ourselves for our brothers
and sisters here on the Earth is something that is a lot more than a religion.
For that reason and many more it’s the kingdom of God because it’s what we
should do, how we should act, and really what God wants for us to be in this
life.
(We wrote to him about someone in our area, whom we’ve known for a long
time, getting baptized) That’s amazing news! Those types of things really
strengthen my testimony of how the Lord has his own time!
This week was tiring.
We moved houses, and we are now living above a family in the ward. The house is
pretty nice and we are getting all new things because we didn’t have anything
to take from the other pension. This week has been the move more than anything
but we did see some miracles.
One of my goals this
year was to focus on a scripture every week, and every day write a ¨miracle of
the day¨ because I believe that there is something good and a miracle in every
day. It doesn’t matter how tiring or how hard the day is, there’s always
something positive and that’s what I wanted to focus on so I will put some of
the experiences that we had this week.
Tuesday: The first
time I ate chicken stir fry here in Argentina (My favorite food) haha.
Wednesday: We were
able to find a man named Angel, and he received us. We shared the restoration
with him and he was really interested in the blessings that we receive for the
family.
Thursday: We did a
contact and we talked to a lady named Lucia. We shared with her our propósito (purpose) as missionaries, and we shared
with here that we don’t believe that it was a coincidence that we knocked on
her door. She started to cry and told us that she looked forward to the next
visit that we have with her.
Saturday: We had the
activity this day and we prepared so much but then it started to rain and we
got sad because we knew that not that many people were going to come. We prayed
that the rain would stop, and around 6:30 it stopped. We started the
activity at 7:30. The people were able to come, and when they got inside
it started raining a lot again.
Sunday: We got sad
because our investigators didn’t make it to church but in the night we passed
by a reference, and they let us pass in their house. We talked to them about
the restoration and I know that the spirit was there testifying with us. They
were able to listen and we were able to figure out a time to pass by again.
I know that all these
things are miracles. I know that God gives us miracles each day, we just have
to have the optimism, and more than anything the faith to be able to see these
blessings.
I want to share the
scripture Alma 11:40. This week I
focused on this scripture and while thinking about it I realized the importance
of our Savior and what he did for us. This was all part of the plan and if he
hadn’t suffered for us or if he hadn’t come to the earth there would be no
chance that we could return to God’s presence. I also thought about how much
faith they had, to believe in Jesus even when they didn’t see him. Then I
thought, wow, that’s like us. We haven’t seen Jesus, but we have this faith,
the same faith through the same gospel in today. And how incredible is it that
we can practice this faith with our works. I’m so grateful for what Jesus did
for me, and for every one of you guys.
Love you all, I’m
always so grateful for the love and support,

This is a picture that we
took today in a museum.
This is us moving. We
finally moved houses and we are now in our area. Before we had to travel every day
to get to our area.
This is my companion
looking like a cowboy, haha.
This is part of an
activity that we did. It was a treasure hunt with clues.
