Truth is, I don´t have much to say.
Maybe some pictures to share?
Of
course every day is exciting to me, but when it comes to putting it in a
letter for people thousands of miles away to read, it just doesn´t
quite work out.
Some things that could be noted is we had branch conference (almost
have the people who came were from the stake..jaja) We are part of a
stake in santa fe. Us missionaries were in charge of putting together a
little choir, so of course i played the piano. Oh boy...such sweet
people, with desires to sing...and have never had any training in the
least bit. The things we take for granted, like having a beautiful
sounding choir in church. jaja. But I think it ended up sounding ok, at
least it didn´t drive away the spirit... The conference was really good,
the stake president (who was the first person called to start the
church in esperanza) talked about the promises that have been made about
this area. It really is a special place. And I just know that one day
the church will be thriving here. For now, there are some members who
are just rocks and such examples.
One day we let a member borrow one of the bikes...so it was me and my
comp sharing my bike, cause it has the little ´seat ´ thing on bike.
What a ride. A...it´s not so cute to have 2 full grown people clunking
around like that. Catches the attention of people, that´s for sure.
The moral of this picture is you should never ask a 7 year old to take
the picture. Because the oversized american gets her head chopped off.
But, he is the same adorable little boy who then walked up to each of
us, including his mom, and said ´fat ´, ´fat´, ´fat´,...as he pointed to
the stomachs. He pointed at me and said ´skinny´. jajaj. First person
so say that, so I like him.
Working hard!....or hardly working?... We helped a
family build the brick fence. And dug out weeds. The old fashioned
pioneer way...with out the tiller thing or weedwacker. I was just
wishing I had some Preen to put down after.
It was 25 de Mayo yesterday, it´s dia de la revolution of
something....but anyways some holiday, everyone eats empanadas and loco.
So we ate some food.
I love teaching gospel principles. You
never know what it will bring. Yesterday it was 2 recent converts and an
investigador. Edgardo is almost 80...and the investigador is a sweet
old viajito also. Well we taught plan of salvation. Edgardo explained
where we came from before being born....in the words of an 80 year old,
and how parents love each other and all....jajaja me and my companion
were trying to compose ourselves and not pee our pants, all while the
other member kept saying ´we lived in the moms tummy! we lived in the
moms tummy!¨. We explained about the before, before part....like our
spirits in heaven.
Well don´t worry, the week did have the other great spiritual parts
and all:) As a zone activity we all contacted for almost an entire day,
to find some specifically prepared for baptism. We have met several
people this week with lots of potential, and it also turns out that our
investigador Sofia already knows one of our members. A super special
moment was as we taught a new investigador Melina, she said the closing
prayer, and immediately after started crying and crying. She explained
she felt something really good...she felt the spirit so strongly, and we
helped her recognize what she was feeling. It was a testimony to see
how God touches the hearts of his children through the spirit.
I love you all!
Thanks for the letters and prayers.

P.S.
I heard this scripture in a district thing, and love it. It´s about the
work we do...in the mission, callings, etc. The success isn't ours,
it's God's. 1 Cor. 3:6-9
