Well as missionaries, we are always trying to follow the Holy Ghost, and for at least this day, we were able to do so ;) Espiritu Santo means Holy Ghost for those of you who don't know.
Haha
thought I would start the blog with something funny. Me and my companion
are always looking for a way to make the day a little brighter.
Sometimes in the mission things can seem difficult, but if you find
something to smile about, it is just that much easier to keep going. My
companion and I have been talking a lot about the family of Rafael and
how they are so important in our work. I asked you all to offer a
special prayer for his family, and we can really see that the Lord is
touching the heart of his mother because of your prayers. His mom (for
the first time) accepted us and has grasped the fact that our church
"makes more sense than the others" and that she fully supports the
baptisms of her children. She even is willing to "consider" baptism
herself. I don't know if I told all of you but, the family consists of 9
children and the 2 parents. This family would really help the ward grow
here!!! Please keep praying for them!
While
Rafael and his family still are in the process towards baptism, the
Family Wolf has been reactivated in the church, and faithfully today are
attending the outside of the temple of Buenos Aires. The children were
baptized, as well as investigator of the Hermanas named "Gustavo"
I am very excited for all three of them, and was happy to be a part of that experience for them.
I now have to say goodbye to this area. Just as things seemed to really
get started, I have been called to serve in Tacuari Argentina for this
transfer that is coming. My assignment is one different from what I am
used to right now, and will need some adjusting surely. As I am a little
nervous for this new assignment, I hope that each of you could pray for
me so that I could be comforted, if you get the time. Saying
goodbye to Obera also means saying goodbye to my companion Elder
Venegas. This goodbye honestly will be a hard one. He has been such a
good friend to me, and I will miss him.
The Elder on top is from Ecuador and is named Elder Lopez and was
visiting Obera, because his companion (my second trainer Elder Silva)
just finished his mission.
I love you all and hope you know the reality of the power of prayer. Pray always.
