Well howdy there folks, it's Pday once again! This week was pretty incredible, especially sacrament meeting yesterday, so let me go ahead and get into it!
So this week, Elder Norton were able to find and teach a lot of families, not just like a bunch of adults who live together, but families with children and such, and gosh are they fun to teach. It's a bit difficult to round everyone up and gather their attention, but once we have it, the kids have so much interest and enthusiasm with the gospel, and you can really tell that the parents are happy that their kids learning more about Jesus and His love for them. Most of the kids we're teaching are above eight years old as well, sooooo I'm seeing some good baptisms here in the next few months for Pehua~~
Our friend from Mar Del Plata (Her name's Aleli) went back home yesterday. We were able to meet with her again after church, teach her a few more principles, introduce her to the Hermanas in her home area over video call, and put a BAPTISMAL DATE with her for the 20th of April. Heck yeah. She's been learning amazingly, and while I am a bit sad I probably won't see her baptized in person, I'm more just happy for her and all the awesome progress she's made. You're welcome for the free baptism, Hermanas.
Our fecha right now, Lucia, is also doing amazing. She's so excited for her baptism, Branch President described her like a kid in a candy store. She always asks really good questions whenever we have lessons with her and she has a great memory and understanding for everything. She was also able to bring one of her grandkids to sacrament this week, and he's pretty interested in the Church as well. She's on track to get baptized in between General Conference sessions that Sunday, so we're super excited for her.
Okay, so, sacrament meeting yesterday. First off, we had 21 people in the capilla, which is near record breaking for Pehua, AND the first counselor and his family couldn't be there when they usually are, so we have high hopes for this next Sunday. SECONDLY, we had three of our friends in church, three of our recent converts, and three inactive members that we've been working with. And finally, Elder Norton and I gave talks. The Spirit in the room was so strong and everything was so peaceful, I hadn't experienced a sacrament meeting like that out here up until then. Go to church yall, it's so worth it.
Well aside from all that, not much this week! The grind keeps going forward, of course, we're always finding new opportunities to teach and learn every day. I gotta tell yall, I love this mission so much. I still don't have a lot of time here, but the experiences I've had are so amazing and already life-changing, and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
Alrighty, love you all, hope you have a great week! Love God with all your heart, might, mind, and strength! He will bless you!
