We had transfers on Wednesday and Hermana Farr got sent to Roca and I got a new companion!! Hermana Ventura is her name and she's from Mexico!! Whoot whoot!! We also ended up get two more hermanas instead of a set of Elders so that was a big surprise!! They don't have their own apartment yet so they have been staying with us. At first I was like "great four hermanas in a one bedroom apartment- this will be interesting" but now I am loving it. We all had a pajama party for New Years and we got two giant kilos of ice cream, made brownies, banana bread, pizzas, oven roasted chicken, empanadas, salad and a few more things that I cannot remember at the moment haha. It was super fun because I found this board game that someone had made with the plan of salvacion and it was super awesome and hilarious. We joked around laughing so much we didn't even get to finish the game because we kept changing the rules up ever five minutes to make it even more hilarious. We had a great time together and I am soo going to miss them when they get their own apartment :((
Well this week we made a goal to serve someone every single day and each day there would be people in their yards or in the street cleaning and we would offer to help them all. Most of them said no but a few said yes and we got to serve at least one person everyday. Two days this week we found a lady named Verna walking home with large heavy grocery bags and me and my companion ran up and just took the bags from her and started walking with her all the way to her house and she was so grateful because she is supposed to have knee surgery this week and the doctor told her she cannot carry anything heavy or walk very long but she was having all her kids over for New Years and wanted to have food for them so she walked to the store (like everyone here) and was carrying it all back alone. It was awesome we helped her inside her house and then she invited us to come back again and sit down and teach her about Christ so we're going to visit her this week :) She is super sweet!! We also have been teaching a girl named Sofi who is 16 years old and half believes in Christ and half believes in buddism. This week me and my companion have a meeting in Neuquen so well be traveling for a few days and I'm super excited to see what president has to say this transfer.1 Nefi 19 23-24
23 Y les leí muchas cosas que estaban escritas en los libros de Moisés; pero a fin de convencerlos más plenamente de que creyeran en el Señor su Redentor, les leí lo que escribió el profeta Isaías; porque comparé todas las Escrituras a nosotros mismos para nuestro provecho e instrucción.
24 Por tanto, les hablé, diciendo: Escuchad las palabras del profeta, vosotros que sois un resto de la casa de Israel, una rama que ha sido desgajada; escuchad las palabras del profeta que fueron escritas a toda la casa de Israel, y comparáoslas a vosotros mismos, para que podáis tener esperanza, así como vuestros hermanos de quienes habéis sido separados; porque de esta manera es como el profeta ha escrito.
