Wassup my nieces and nephews, hope everything's going alright for yall.
Alright, so this week has been pretty interesting. My dear comp, Elder Bardales, goes home this Friday, and while he's still working very hard, you can tell it's weighing on him, poor guy. He's started getting packed already, and it's so fun seeing how excited he is to see his family again. Definitely doesn't make me miss mine or anything.
This week was kinda slow with the work, it seems as though a lot of our friends have been moving away from Monte Hermoso or something, because we visit their houses during all hours of the day, but nobody is there. It's a little odd and a bit depressive, but that's why we've gotta keep finding. If I end up staying, I'm planning on working a bit closer with the members so we can find people who are actually from here.
On that note, we had some friends and members come in clutch yesterday. We had a member bring a friend to church, AND our friend Willy brought a friend as well! Willy's friend Mauricio is also really interested in learning more, so we're really excited to talk to him this later this week! Willy also told us later that Mauricio really liked the meeting and hopes he can come every week from now on, which is so awesome, I love seeing the church have such a positive effect on someone.
We also had an awesome lesson with our friends Alejandro and Franco last night. They've been reading el Libro de Mormon and had a lot of good questions about our personal testimonies, questions like 'if Joseph Smith was from Russia, would you still be a member of the church?' It was interesting, because I ended up saying 'It doesnt matter to me' a lot, because it's the truth! It wouldn't matter where the church was restored or who I serve with, because as long as the church is true and God's guidance is there, we are in the right place. The spirit was really strong in that house, it was so awesome.
We also had a great talk with Willy about the challenges we face in life and the importance of persevering til the end. This guy is so close go being baptized it's awesome.
Welp, Father's Day happened, I hope all the fathers out there had a great one. I'm super grateful for all the incredible father figures I've had over the last twentyish years that have helped me become the person I am today, and especially for my actual dad, who's always there to help and support me. Yall are awesome.
Aighty, getting this out a bit late, but all chill. Hope you all have a great week this week, stay cool or warm depending on what side of the hemisphere you're on lol.
Much love!
Elder Montgomery
