Week 68: Lucas #1 Baptism

Last monday we had a district P day and it was a lot of fun. Who knew playing card games all afternoon would be fun. We also played the game ghetto baseball  and it was super fun until an elder almost broke the microphone and then almost broke the window. We then decided to stop. 

This week was so crazy busy!! we found a ton of people and spent a lot of time in the Park. We are currently teaching 5 people and its been so awesome! 

Heres are friends with baptism dates theres 2 ( soon to be more ):

Nicolas: what a guy!  literally amazing he is on date for baptism and came to church for a second time so technically he can be baptized on saturday but we will see. He is such a cool guy he has a ton of questions and genially enjoys learning. We had such powerful lessons with him and it was such a fight for him to accept a baptism date but i have gotten really good and bajando la caña but with love and after such a powerful lesson he accepted. He is cool dude #ticktoker. He gave us facturas to eat with our mate, he is basically our best friend right now.

Ricardo: he is a rreference from Facebook and he told us that god told him he needed to be baptized we invited him and he accepted and when we later taught him about Joseph Smith he said he would read the book of mormon and that he wanted his own ttestimony. Hopefully he can get to church pn sunday 

BAUTISMO DE LUCAS

What a good day sunday was. President and Hermana Hermosilla came and we had a great baptism service. I showed off my mad violin skills but shame on me because i was asked to play in the next mission conference and lucas was baptized the whole branch showed up ( all 20 of them ) and they were all so happy for him. The story of how we met him is a classic: We found lucas walking home one day and he literally said " hi sisters " yes in english and since then we have taught him and he is honestly the best. His baptism was such a spirit filled event that it was just wow!

Wierd stuff: 
We were teaching this guy and he had so much potential and he was like a chosen person like wow elegido but then he confessed his love to me and so we stopped it was a bummer but oh well. 

Our friend melanie is in love with our district leader that when we talk to her she only talks about him its kind of wierd but she has a promising future in the church. Plus she came on sunday so boom. 

Miracle of the week: 
We ate with a member!! Yes a member fed us food!!! It was so good!!

Branch saving update: 
We are on fire! Our mission president showed up on sunday and was really amazed with how many people were there ( to be honest I was too ) most of them are what we call eternal investigadores but hey we had a good turn out and the members really popped off in their talks. President Hermosilla had an interview with our branch president and it looks like the branch will be staying open for a little while longer!! My mission president made my day by saying how proud he was of me and the hermana Ballam and that made me happy to know that after weeks of fighting and weeks of hard hard back breaking work we managed to have three baptism, reacticated a few people and give a branch the chance to stay open!! God does answer prayers and sees your efforts! 

Good week! 

Los amo

Week 76: 17 Months, Hotter Than Mars And ITS SPRING!!!

Whatttttttt i cant believe I am at 17 months ! Monday we did a district Pday in the Mountains. It sounds all nice and dandy but it wasnt. The ride up was twisty and we were in this old bus that tilted off the side of the cliff everytime we turned. We saw a 100 foot tall virgin statue and then a few yards away this minsicule jesus statue that you had to squint to see ( argentinas sure got her priorities straight here ) It was over 100 degrees and dusty. We hiked and ate asado which was the best part. I felt like angelia in the office when I said the music was too loud. On my behalf we couldnt hear eaxh other and had to ScReAm to speak.  Anways we ended up getting stuck in the Mountain because we missed the bus twice but it was fine because we ended up playing Catan i was partnered with elder Heredia and we won. and we drank mate you know theres nothing like sharing the same drink and straw between 8 missionaries as a bonding exercise. we love a good mateada. Tuesday: we we...

Tuesday: we had a good day we picked up the Hermana Osmond from the terminal and got everything organized and we went to work we put 3 people on date for baptism so awesome and we have just been having a blast together. I am back to sleeping on the floor. With three of us sharing a room theres not enough beds so I am on the floor but I offered.  It will make me appreciate my bed at home all the more.  so right now i am kinda training not training both hermana Osmond and Hermana Ballam have just gotten out of their training and i am here to see how they will do on their own without me president literally called me personally and told me i am a glorified babysitter for the next 3 weeks itll be fun they are awesome i have enjoyed it so far .

Week 22: A Cruel Joke And Lautaros Baptism!!!!!!!

Image
Muy buenos dias bienvenidos a una otra semana!  Bueno this week was good on Monday me and Hermana Braatz wondered into a Catholic Mass where we got really wierd looks. It was a very peaceful experience we also saw some one get shushed by a priest and it was really funny we had to leave before we laughed to loud.  Thursday: our district leaders played a CRUEL joke on us. In the afternoon we waited patiently to recieve a call saying the Lautaro passed his baptism interview and at 4:30 or so we recieved a text from the Elders saying that they needed to talk to us about Lautaro because he failed his interview. We freaked out trying to call them sent texts and they werent responding so we trecked the 40 minute walk to Lautaros house and knocked on his door determined to find out what happened his sister answered and said that he had left because he failed the interview and we asked about what had happened and she told us that he couldnt answer some of the questions  because we...
