Dear Family and Friends,
The big rivalry Boca Jrs vs River Plate just happened and my team River won 2-0! I didn't get to watch it but I could definitely hear the people cheering after the goals. Every time there was a goal it was a complete madhouse. These are the biggest 2 teams in Argentina. The first thing people ask you when you walk in a house here is if you like Boca or River. River through and through. Soy de River baby!!
This week we got in contact with Mara again and she is interested again! She just felt bad that she couldn't go to church because she works and didn't want to “waste our time” but we explained to her that we just want to help her come unto Christ and strengthen her relationship with Him, And then we had a great lesson about the Book of Mormon.
Our other investigators are also slowing progressing. We have a lesson tonight with the Roa family and we will most likely put baptism dates with them! They are really cool and humble.
Me and my comp have been trying to speak pure spanish so that's fun. He's actually learning pretty quick. Still doesn't understand much but can communicate a lot better!
I have been studying chapter 6 of Preach my gospel this week which talks about the attributes of Christ. I also listened to the talk "Character of Christ " By Elder Bednar and have been trying to focus more on thinking about others than myself. I Love you all so much! I Hope everyone can work on at least one attribute of Christ this week!
Funny Story:
When I was on divisions with Elder Gonzalez from Mexico we contacted a guy and he was interested about why we were here. So we explained to Him why and he was like “you guys are actually pretty cool. I like your message. When I was younger I used to rob you guys so sorry about that. I feel bad about it now” but he said it was like 20 years ago he used to do that haha it was funny and he turned out to be a cool guy!
Love, Elder Tanner
