Week 73

July 25th-July 31st, 2017

This week has been crazy !!! We found 15 new investigators and we´re only getting started! It's a great area. They're all great but this time we are working harder than ever and yet I feel like we haven't done anything. Fiama, Ariadna, and Alma are cousins that have all decided to get baptized and their parents and grandparents have told us that they want this for there family. They told us just yesterday and it was soo amazing to hear. We are SO excited!! We also have a few others that are already progressing right along. Andrea and her daughter Valentina; Lidia a single mom; Ines; Claudio and his grandma Leticia; Brisa; Carmen; Sibonay; Soledad and her daughter Melisa and last but not least Mayra!! I'll keep you all in touch with who else we find and what happens in the following weeks with the people we've already found!! We hope to have great progress! It's amazing watching people change and grow. Watching them stop smoking or drinking, starting to read the scriptures and learn how to pray, and how with just a couple days and weeks they start to become someone totally different. They start to be the person that Heavenly Father sees them as. It is a beautiful process taking part in this great work! Well that's all for this week. Until next time!!

Hello everyone!! I am now in Roca again!!! If you can remember it is were i started out! I was in this stake for my very first transfer! Ruth and Mateo got baptized almost a year and a half ago and now I get to see them again!! I have heard they are doing great things! I am now in Universitario (the stake center) and I have become Hermana Ventura´s companion AGAIN!!! She is the one from Mexico. I spent 3 transfers with her in Bariloche and it was a Blast being able to teach with her so we are supper excited about this transfer!! Its my very last area and my very last companion :((( 

Back in Cipolletti Hermana Brown and I had a investigator named Marcela who has now been coming to church for 2 weeks and will be getting baptized this month so I'm supper excited for her too!! She reads the Book of Mormon and knows that its true because she prayed about it!!! She is soooo awesome and has agreed to live all the commandments that we have taught!! I was supper worried to be honest about the word of wisdom but I taught it bravely and with lots of love and well she said, ¨its sooo true none of those things are good for our bodies and so I believe it. Yes I'll live the word of wisdom!¨WOW how people are prepared by the Lord. It's amazing out here.

well thats all for now! Ill be keeping you all updated!! Have a great week!! And remember that you have a Father in Heaven who so dearly loves you!!!

Week 69

June 27th-July 3rd, 2017

Hello everyone! I´m Cipolletti this transfer and I'm still with Hermana Brown! We have been working for a few weeks and we´ve got a few families that are progressing. One we found yesterday night at the last moment. We had contacted Mr. Villalovos eariler this week and he had said we could stop by this weekend and that they might just be home but that it wasn't so likely. Well we went there last night and he was home washing the family car and when we saw him and said hello he smiled and said, ¨let me see what the family is doing.¨and he went i. He later came back out and said, ¨Passen¨which means come in. Inside Mrs. Villalovos greeted us with a hug and a kiss and so did her daughters (2) which is the culture here. They then said that we could sit down and offered us somehting to drink we declined and said thankyou. We then began to get to know them and they were quite lovely. It turns out that Mrs. Villalovos had read the pamphlet about the restoration all the way through and that the page about how Joseph Smith receive the priesthood (power of God) from the apostles. We then shared our testimonies about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that we have the same exact church with on earth today with a living prophet, 12 apostles, and even 70 general authorities like Christ had set up. She accepted to pray and ask God if Joseph Smith had really been a prophet of God and if today we have a prophet Thomas S. Monson. We also invited the family to pray about getting baptized on the 22nd and they happily exepted!! IT was full of miracles and super awesome. We will be stopping by and giving them a book of mormon this week!

Whoever is praying for us i thank you for all you are doing and i will tell you that we receive every blessing you ask for us. Thank you!! I hope you all have a great week!
