HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! Shout out to all the moms out there (especially my AMAZING mom Lisa!) Nobody celebrated mother's day down here in Argentina because their mother's day is in October, but I hope you all made your moms and wives feel special!! I got to Skype my fam and it was awesome!! It was just what I needed after a long hard week to help boost me and rejuvenate me again!!
Work wise, not gonna lie this week was a little rough. We had like 4 really awesome investigators drop us out of the blue. We were stoked to go to their house and they said “We read your pamphlet a lot and talked as a family about it and it just isn't for us. We want to continue with the Catholic Faith”. We were devastated because we have been meeting with them for a while. We invited them to pray about it and we told them they have our number if they ever have questions but there isn't much we could do :(
On the bright side, MALEN CAME TO CHURCH AGAIN!!! She is going to get baptized on the 26th of May!! We are so excited. We've already taught her all the lessons as well. Now we just need to prepare her for the interview! It's gonna be awesome!
We also went to the Zone Leaders house to help them paint the inside of their apartment on Thursday and then when we finished they said we can go get something to eat at mundosalad with them which is super good! I love our Zone Leaders.
Funny Stories:
- There were a couple funny stories this week. I'll start with the funniest one. Probably one of the funniest moments of my mission. We were in a lesson on Saturday morning with a man named Juan Gonzalo. So he invited us into his backyard where we had a table and chairs to sit at. We started talking about church and who we were because he said he talked to Elders before but he thought we were Jehovah Witness (everyone does). So we explained to him we weren't and he was relieved and willing to listen to us haha. So we were sitting in his backyard, and he says wait here I'm gonna go get some breakfast. He comes out with a big jar of weed and some paper to roll it. He cuts up the weed and rolls the joint right in front of us and starts smoking it… He said “this is the best breakfast there is”. He offered us some but we had to refuse of course haha. We continued with the lesson because he was a super cool and funny guy who wanted to learn more. It was actually a super awesome lesson (probably because he was so relaxed) But we will have talk to him about his choice of breakfast later haha.
- I was walking in the street whistling a song and something copied me super loudly. I thought it was my comp but we look to our right and there was a green parrot sitting there. There are parrots everywhere here but I've never had one copy me. So we stopped and whistled some more and it copied everything haha. I wish i had my camera :(
- We were contacting a house and see a lady and a little kid in the window. We make eye contact and wave at the lady through the window. After about 2 minutes the kid answers the door and says his parents aren't home. I was like “we just saw them haha” but he just laughed and closed the door.
I love this gospel and i know without a doubt that it is true. I love being able to represent my savior every single day. Hope everyone is sharing the gospel and helping the missionaries!! Love you all! Have a great week!
