My New Record! Week 82

This week was one of the most successful weeks of my mission. I don't know how we keep finding such amazing people that are ready for baptism. We have 6 people that will for sure be baptized this month or next month! We have 5 people preparing for baptism on march 23rd!
FRANCO WENT TO CHURCH FINALLY!!! We had to go to his house and wake him up but he still went! It was 8:45 and I told my comp “I don't think he's going to come” so we called a taxi and went to his house to wake him up. He washed his face and brushed his teeth and we all went! We got there at 9:10 during the sacrament song but we made it! And He loved it! He wants to go this Sunday too! He and his daughter are preparing to be baptized on the 23rd of march! I'm so happy and excited for him!
We also found a couple of kids that go to church every week but haven't been baptized. They go to a different ward but live in our area. So right now we are giving them the lessons so we can baptize them on the 23rd as well! They are gonna start going to our ward. They are named Elias and Morena. They are 9 and 10 years old haha.
This week we also paid rent for all the houses in the zone and we also had a district meeting. We also found 33 new friends this week! That's my new record!! Even though we had meetings and had to pay rent all day. We have been contacting EVERYONE and I think that's why we keep finding people ready for baptism!
I love this work! I've had so many powerful experiences testifying of the atonement of Jesus Christ! We have a friend named Alejandro that has done a lot of bad things.. So we have been helping him understand the atonement of Jesus Christ. He really wants to change His life and has so many regrets. Its sad to see people in pain like that but it's amazing to see how our message Christ and help can free them! I know Christ lives and I know that we can always choose to follow Him and be forgiven! No matter what we have done, we can ALWAYS be forgiven!! I love this work! Have a great week!

PS. I also got an email this week from a man I baptized last July and he told me he is preparing to go to the Temple. So at the end of my mission I will get to witness his family being sealed in the Buenos Aires Temple. This is the best news a missionary can have and I am so happy!


*Note from Mom: While speaking with Romina, the wife, about the details of the sealing so that Elder Tanner can go, she replied with this message:


Estamos muy felices de que puedan estar con nosotros en nuestro sellamiento, queremos muchisimo a su hijo , el nos ayudo muchisimo,  sus palabras , contencion y perseverancia con nosotros fue esencial para que pudieramos salir adelante con mi esposo despues de que nuestra hija Alma falleciera. Vamos a estar enternamente agradecidos !!!
