ok so killer week we had a baptism and i have finally swiched areas!!!!
so
finally we got miriam juarez in the water !!!! she has been talking
with missionarys for the past year and little by little her life has led
to baptism. it was seriously amazing last thursday we pased by her
house with a goal to not to talk about baptism so we shared juan 3-16,17
and we started talking about the love that god has for all of us. that
got her all teary eyed then i started talking about repentance and how
we all have the oportunity to start over again and when i brought that
up chau she was a piping hot mess. we had makeup running, a snotty nose
the whole nine yards and so taking advantage of the situation i asked,
miriam do you want to be happy? she looked and me and said, yes. so i
said great were planning a baptism tomorrow would you like to be
baptised? she looked at me all sorts of confused and then with a fat
smile on her face said, yes please!!! IT WAS INSANE!!!! the spirit was
just there i then closed the leccion with my testimoney and i had to
hold back some fat tears and everything! so we leave her house and my
comp and i are walking just like shocked and my comp looks at me and
said, dang man if god wants something done he gets it done!!! and its
funny because its really true we walked into her house saying their is
no way we talk about baptism we talk about it every time we gotta change
things up. and that was the exact mesage that she needed to hear !!!
CRAZY !!! so the next morning we got up went out and bought a pool
(sorry mom and dad thats why i pulled out money i got it reenembursed)
and for 6 FREAKIN HOURS MY COMP AND I FILLED THE SUCKER UP WITH GARBAGE
CANS!!!!!! it was helarious just wait till you see the pics !!!! such a
killer baptism tho its truly amazing to see the change in these peoples
lives because of the girf of the holy ghost.
so
like i said i have officically MOVED AREAS !!!!! i am sooooo flechin
happy !!!! right now im with a killer new comp named elder peterson and
well he looks alot like justin beiber which is killer cause now that im
startin to have hair again i can get my ricky martin going again and we
can use our god givin looks to baptise ;P TOTALLY KIDDING!!!! but
seriously really good guy and killer missionary! my new area is called
carlos pas and ITS BEAUTIFUL its basically a huge tourist town. theirs a
lake, beach, shopping and well its sorta like an argentine vegas. im
really loving it here i ate some McDonalds walked around a lil (THE CITY
IS HUGE) and got to see some of the sights!! i have seriously lucked
out!!! but at the same time it was a little rough leaving capilla. right
before i left the family gonzalez all gave me these super sweet notes
and drawing, la hermana mortarino made me a HUGE CHICKEN DINNER and i
got to give a ton of blessing it was a little unreal. but like i said
before its amazing to see people grow and to see their lives change all
because of the gospel. i remember my first couple weeks in capilla their
were 10 people in the church... i left with 22 in the church assisting
to the reunions. this is gods and he has a plan for us. never forget it.
i love you guys so much
HAPPY FATHERS DAY
and ill see yall in a little
