I’m so sorry to all of
my loyal blog readers. You guys are great and I’m sorry I haven’t written for
awhile! Too long!
Ok! Well I am still in
Lamarque but I am with Elder Stoddard from Utah now. We are having a great time
and the work is really going well. Lamarque is hard because our work is mostly
with less actives who have testimonies but it is hard for them to come to church
because in Lamarque we don’t have a chapel or even a place to rent. We are
meeting in the house of an investigator. She is the one who has a smoking
problem and as a side note, the doctors last week gave her 8 months to live so
if you could please keep LIDIA and her family in your prayers, that would be
greatly welcomed. Thanks.
I had so much planned
out to say and it has just all left my mind. We have investigators that are
progressing fairly well. One in particular, M, is great. He contacted us in the
street asking what we were doing. We explained and he invited us back and
actually called us the next day asking when we were coming! Capo!! We have been
back a couple time. He is truly worried about his salvation and, although he
likes to be shown everything from the Bible, is very receptive. He hasn’t
accepted the Book of Mormon yet but we have a lesson today and we are going to
answer his mountain of question using verses from the Bible and Book of Mormon
to show him that they teach the same because they come from the same: Prophets
who talk with God. Nothing more, nothing less.
The mission is great. It
is going by so fast and sometimes it’s hard to believe, but I am grateful to be
here. I am grateful for my parents and their examples for me. I am grateful for
my siblings and their love and support for me. I am grateful to my ancestors
who were willing to listen to two little boys like me and accept what they were
saying. I’m grateful for a Heavenly Father who trusts me, an unfruitful
servant, to do His will and allows me to work miracles. I am grateful for my
Savior Jesus Christ that died for me and for you and for all of us to give us
the chance to repent and be clean; to change; to better ourselves; to be more
like Him. I pray that we can’t recognize that great blessing in our lives each
day and especially as we partake of the Sacrament weekly.
I love you all. I’m
grateful for your love and prayers. The support is tangible. I apologize sincerely
for my spelling errors. I was bad before plus a year in Argentina and it’s
really gone to the crap. Sorry. I hope you have a great week! And I promise I’ll
try and get better at writing weekly!!
