Elder Gong, I'm a ZL, the Purge is not real.
The whole week we have been working really hard with the people we have been teaching. Tatiana is progressing a lot and she should be getting baptized in 2 weeks!! Sadly I won't be able to see it happen because I got called to be a Zone Leader!! President called me on Thursday morning and asked me if I could serve as a ZL. Im super excited to be able to do it and learn more about how to be a better leader. I know it's gonna be hard and I don't feel like I'm good enough to do it but I'm gonna try my best! I think I am going to Santa Rosa in La Pampa but I'm not 100 percent sure yet. We will see!
On Saturday we woke up at 4am to get ready to leave for Bahia Blanca and see Elder Gong speak! The whole mission went to this conference. The conference was amazing! Elder Gong talked about our callings as missionaries, prophecies that we are fulfilling as missionaries in Bahia Blanca, and the doctrine of Christ found in 2 Nephi 31. It was AMAZING!! I know that he is an apostle of the Lord. He has such a spirit with him it is incredible. We all got to shake his hand one by one and tell him our name and where we are from. Sister Susan Gong also spoke to us. Elder Chaparra and Elder Villar also came to speak and their wives as well! I received so much personal revelation and answers to prayers that I was looking for. It was amazing!! I know this Church is true! This is the Lord's Church and I'm so thankful to be His servant! This is His work!!
On sunday I had to say goodbye to our investigators and a few of the members. It was pretty sad. I love the people here. It's one of the best wards i've been in my mission. I took a pic with the familia Bulant and the familia Fuentes who are 2 of my favorite families here. Tatiana (our investigator) is part of the familia Bulant. And now I'm leaving at 2am tomorrow morning so I have to pack up all my stuff haha I hate packing!
Funny Story:
These 2 girls started talking to us in the street and they asked us a million questions about the US. One was 12 and the other was 17. They were CONVINCED that we have “the purge” in the US. like the movie “The Purge” they thought it was real. And they didn't believe me when I said "no that's crazy" haha And they kept asking if we knew celebrities just because we live in the US, and they were surprised when we didn't have a ton of celebrity friends. haha. I think they were just trying to smooth talk because they wanted to sell us some torta fritas. We taught them our message and then bought the torta fritas. So we both won I guess haha
Love you all so much! Happy Thanksgiving and Have an amazing week!
