Hey all!! I’m sorry that I’m so
bad at writing this email, but I’m sure my lovely mother has informed you that
I am doing well.
Well, I have been transferred.
Actually like 3 weeks ago haha. Sorry. I am currently in Lamarque, a tiny city
about 2.5 hours from Neuquen. It’s the tomato capital of Argentina, but no, I don’t
eat many tomatoes. I am with Elder Peel, who has been in two of my previous
zones so I know him already. It’s nice being in the mission long enough to know
my future comps haha.
Well, as far as the work
goes here in Lamarque, it’s pretty much the same: difficult but do-able. We are
getting to know a lot of people and we have a lot of solid potential. A few
highlights:
1) Hna. M: We say Hna M
because she is basically a member. Her children are all members, we have church
in her house, and she has been investigating for like 10 years. She smokes and
it is hard for her to stop so she can’t get baptized. But she is great. Please
keep her in your prayers. She has some serious health problems and will be
going through some extensive surgeries in the next couple weeks.
2) R: She is a
character. She is an atheist, at least that’s what she says. But she believes
in God. The Book of Mormon really called her attention. She doesn’t want to
have a relationship with God basically, but as she reads the Book of Mormon she
is changing DRASTICALLY. We taught her yesterday and it was nada que ver with
what she was before.
3) Lady: Ya so this
person isn’t an investigator yet but it’s a cool story. We contacted her house
my first week here and she didn’t want anything really. Well, we decided to
recontact the house and turns out her mother passed away a couple days ago. She
was very receptive to listen to us and wants us to stop by a little bit later
this week. That should be a good one!
4) Less actives: We have
been having a lot a work with less actives and we should see some progress
soon. We only have 4 people at church this week, plus us 2, but this week we
are going to try hard and should be better next week.
I was told this week by
a member that I have a Latin Accent! Biggest compliment ever!!!!! Soo happy.
I love you all. I love
this work. I know that church is true. The Book of Mormon is true and changes
lives. Que sigan adelante siempre. ¡Les amo!
Elder Clifford
