We had a good New Year’s here. We had dinner with the same
family we ate with on Christmas Eve. We had a really really good asado and
salads and it was all really good. My comp and I made an apple crisp and that
was good too. On New Year’s Day we were in NQN (Neuquen) and had really good
weather. In the morning it rained REALLY
hard and was even hailing a bit but then it was just cloudy all day. When the
sun finally came out, the ice cream shop opened up so it was all good timing
haha. We ate tacos for lunch made by Mexicans, asà que they were really good
tacos.
The work went really well this past week. We had lots of really
good lessons and met a couple new people. Here is a quick recap:
1- R: We still want to get
him baptized this weekend but we aren’t sure if we are going to be able to do
it. He didn’t come to church on Sunday because his house got robbed and didn’t
want to leave it alone. We went out to help him and we are going to see how it
goes.
2- E and M: They are a young family with some kids. They both
seemed interested in the message. M was a little more hesitant because she is
Catholic but she told us that she always thought God had more for her and we
told her that this was it. E was also interested so we are excited for them!
3- V: We met her this week and had 2 lessons with her. The first
one we taught the Restoration and she was very hesitant about all of it. We
explained the Book of Mormon and helped her to understand that it isn’t
anything weird or crazy. In the other lesson, we went with a member who really
helped. We taught her the Plan of Salvation but she wasn’t really focused. We
ended up having a LONG discussion about prayer and left her a big commitment to
pray and ask because she was kinda freaking out haha
4- L: We met him this week too. He goes to a church that is like
the Jehovah’s Witness like they don’t celebrate things. We explained the book
of Mormon a little and he was excited to read it so we'll see how that goes.
5- V: This is a different V. She has family that are members but
she never got baptized. She has trouble receive an answer so we talked about
that with her and it was cool because she told us that this is something that
is going to require a lot of effort and church attendance to receive the
answer. Unfortunately she left the next day for a trip to Buenos Aires so we couldn’t
see her again but we have high hopes.
6- C: we also met a lady contacting and she told
us she wanted to come to church with us the next day, unfortunately she is
really pregnant and felt sick in the morning so she couldn’t come but we are
going to visit her in the week.
