Bowling and running out of time

 I don't have a ton of time this week everyone, but twas one heck of a week!

We went bowling on monday, and I definitely bowled my best games when I was turned around and throwing it between my legs. So, everyone, if you can't beat me in a game of bowling, you need to pick it up. 

We had MLC this week, absolutely amazing! We talked a lot about conversion. How conversion is not a you reach your final destination and stop, but is a continuing, life-long process! It requires diligent effort in building our faith, and turning our hearts to God!! 

We also had some awesome miracles! Our friend freddy is out of the hospital!! Our friend Laura came to church and LOVED IT!! SHE'S SO EXCITED FOR HER BAPTISM!! YEEEEEHAAAAWWW!!! And we found a friend, named Monica, through a Facebook Ad. On out first visit, SHE ACCEPTED A DATE TO BE BAPTIZED!!! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

ALSO, I FINALLY GOT THE CHANCE TO GO TO CHURCH IN PERSON!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Took a whole fat minute, but that's a-okay!

I'll be better at my writing this next week. But in my studies this week, I was finishing 3rd Nephi and starting Mormon. We see the changes in the people. They become absolutely devoted to Christ, but through generations, they change, and are led to their own desires, because they chose to forget their spiritual experiences, where God had been with them! 

We each need to develop our own path in life, we can learn from one another, we can obey what our parents have given us, but eventually we must develop individually. But not at random, as the nephites did, but rather do it purposely, choosing to change with Christ. Developing ourselves into the disciples he not only wants us to be, but needs us to be!! Take time this week to see how you can take one step towards Christ!

Love you all!!!

Sorry everyone, last preparation day was interesting, so didn't have much time to do anything, lol, but life is good in Argentina ladies and gentlefolks I got to do a baptismal interview of Elizabeth leteno, from laferrere.

Se explotó la carpeta de area.  HAD INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT!!!! Haven't had that happen since I got here, so it was good to talk to him.

HOPPY PASCUAS A TODOS QUE LEEN ESTA CARTA Y LOS DEMAS!!! ESPERO QUE DISFRTUARAN SU FIN DE SEMANA CON LOS PROFETAS Y APOSTOLES!!!!! This week was definitely was an interesting one, where do I start We had interviews this week, but my companion and I didn't get them, because we had to go to Glew for a stake meeting, and the Elders before us went too long. So instead we did some roleplays of the restoration of the gospel, and then the assistants drove us to Glew, where we listened to a big ol stake meeting. We then spent the night with the Glew Elders, ELDER SOSA Y ELDER BLACKHAM!!!!  We had our first english class this week, so that was exciting. I got to teach english to all the people in my district, so that's an exciting time. Let me tell ya, I do not know how to teach english. I'll do my best. Some latinos already speak a lot and others don't know a single word, so you make due. Everyone is ready to learn though! We met our friend Juan Diaz this week. He's absolut...

We put both of them on date, and both are loving the book of mormon and got permission from their parents, MIRACLES!!!! AND BOTH OF THEM CAME TO CHURCH, YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!! We had zone conference, and it was powerful! Elder Thacker and I gave a training on being a 'Preach My Gospel' missionary. I loved it! Then President spoke all about the atonement, because that is our central doctrine. EVERYTHING revolves around the atonement, without it, we are lost in our fallen and mortal state.  WE HAD AN AWESOME LESSON WITH ERIC!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT BISHOP PATEL JOINED IN AND IT WAS POWERFUL. We talked about how sometimes, God only gives us what we need at the moment, and not everything can or wil...
