Hey
Familia y Amigos:
I am practically fluent at Spanish now,
so that is exciting. Haha, not really, but I get better each and every day. It
truly is a miracle how much the Lord helps in learning a language. There is no
other way to put it than God has blessed me with the ability to speak and
understand a little bit of Spanish. He will continue to help me learn until I
have mastered the language. The people here are so kind and willing to help out
with learning the language. It truly is such a blessing.
On Thursday we received a new batch
of Latinos. They are super cool. The ones in my room are incredibly humble and
are just awesome. One of the Latinos that lives in a room upstairs
is Elder Ramirez, and he it is absolutely crazy hot good he is at
beat-boxing; it is so cool!
We went to a new area last Saturday, and
it was so good. There were a lot of people in at least half of our
area. The other half just turned out to be massive storage buildings with just
a few houses in between them. Elder Parmenter and I did a ton better this week
and were able to understand a lot more of the conversations. We were able to
answer the investigators questions, too. The first two Saturdays we did not
really know what we were agreeing to, so hopefully we did not teach some false
doctrine or anything like that. This Saturday we came across a
man by the name of Daniel that we got to talking to about normal
things. He has a wife and two kids. We did not meet his wife and one of his
kids, but we met the other one which was cool. He had a friend
over that was downing some alcohol and kept offering a glass to
us which of course was always declined. After talking to him for a bit, we
were about to leave, but he had just offered us some juice. At first we
said, no thanks, but he was sad that we didn't take up his offer and
was making sure that we understood that it was just juice. We decided to take
the offer, and I am glad that we did! Not only was the juice really good, but
while we continued to talk to him, we asked if he attended a church. He
explained that he didn't because he didn't think that God had a church on
the earth today!!!!! Perfect opportunity to tell him that Jesus has restored
his church on the earth today through the prophet, Joseph Smith, and then
we bore testimony of the truthfulness of our teachings. It was just amazing.
That was definitely the highlight of the day.
Dad, the Churri Pans are so
good. There was a thingy on the side of the road, so I made sure I bought one.
I spoke last Sunday. Our topic
was on the Fall of Adam and Eve. It went well.
Anyways, I fly out on
Tuesday morning early. I can call you if you would like, but I don’t want
to try if you aren't going to be awake. I will most likely be at the airport
from 4 to 6 in the morning my time. I will have like five minutes to email on
Monday, so make sure you tell me what you would like.
I love it here in Argentina. I love this
Gospel. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to bring others unto
Christ. Hopefully, they will understand the importance of it all.
I love you all. Keep praying and reading
the scriptures; it is the little things that matter the most.
Love Elder Call
