November 22-28, 2016
This is what’s up in Bariloche.
We
spent Thanksgiving in Neuquen and the conference was awesome! Presidente wants
us all 80 Companionships to all baptise one person in December. We have
baptized 50 people or less every month for the last five years (as a mission)
and we have never broken that record so we’re ALL going to baptize this month
for NAVIDAD (Christmas).
I’m
super super excited about this new program we have Ilumina el mundo!! LIGHT THE
WORLD!! One of these links should work haha and it takes you to the
video that is just amazing!! Its all about the how we should light up the world
with all the ways that Jesus Christ did!! Its just outstanding and its like an
advent calendar with a video and an attribute of Christ every day. You all have
to check it out!
Its
so great we’ve already started having more people talk to us just because it’s
a card about Christmas and they LOVE Christmas. Who doesn’t?? Its completely inspired.
Today I’m not in my area... I’m actually in a different city again visiting the
sisters in Esquel and Trevelin and we had a meeting with them and for the next
two days we will be going on splits and helping them to get excited about the
work we do!! I’m pumped for Christmas!! Its going to be a great one!
Well
I’m in Bariloche the chocolate capital of the world and its pretty beautiful. I
still haven’t tried the chocolate but I’m definitely going to one of these
days. We have a few investigators that have read the Book of Mormon and pray
and still don’t feel like they need to be bauptised and we have done everything
from give it to them straight to fasted and to show a ton of love and just bare
tearing testimonies but they haven’t opened up their hearts... they literally
can get baptized the second they decide to but for now we have just dropped
them. We found a few new investigators this week and I am just pumped. One of
them we found in the street and we gave her that ‘iluminate the world’ card and
we testified of Christ and his birth and all the wonderful things he has done
and she was just so touch and she said we had no idea and that we later found
her in the moment she needed it the most. She cried and told us we could so
visit her. Her name is Neisha and she is sooo awesome!! Also we have a investigator
named Natasha that literally just has to get married to her boyfriend who is a
member so that she can get baptized and she has been to church and million
times and just needs to do it. We also have Barbara who believes in the Book of
Mormon but she just doesn’t feel comfortable coming to church so we have to
help her a lot with that. I’m praying that her heart will soften and shell feel
like she does need to be baptised and now. Then we have Vicky who wants to be
baptised but she needs permission from both her parents and her dad is fine
with it but we think her mom has no idea or is against it so were are going to
try super hard to teach them together this week and clear up everything. We also
found Alejandra and Juan by just knocking on doors and she was like ¨We were
literally just talking about your church and wondering how we could get in and
see it. ¨ we also found Kiara and Sofia who said they actually want to get baptised
but they are like 12 and 14 years old so were are going to need the permission
from their parents we have got to get them to church somehow. We just have so
many people that could all get baptised on the 24th of December but
we have some work to do and a lot of prayers to say. Yeah that was just
awesome because my companion had literally just prayed for us to see the hand
of God in our work. Super cool. All of these people need to soften their hearts
and need to realize the need for baptism and feel and recognize the spirit
telling them to do so. I have a Lot of Faith that if we work hard and do everything
we can, this Christmas could be so WHITE!! Please pray for them.
