Bed Bugs and Baptismal dates

For all of you that enjoy a good spark notes version of an email, I got you, because I'm running out of time!!

This week was super awesome!! 

-had exchanges with Elder Layne. He's big money layne now, and I got to help him make improvements within his area and district. And I took him to twisty treat for the first time (@Ahnika ;)  ) 

-We met our friend Eric, WHO WE PUT ON BAPTISMAL DATE AND HE'S SUPER PREPARED AND WANTS TO LEARN ABOUT THE ATONEMENT AND BE BAPTIZED AND HE'S JUST SUPER AWESOME AND IT WAS A TOTAL MIRACLE, YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWWW

-Elder Jacobs went to the temple, and we wome up at 4:45 that day to run, and I have never been so flipping tired in my life. For all you folks getting up early to run, I'm impressed out of my mind

-Elder Thacker got to go to Clearwater to baptized someone he was working with down there for 6 months, so it was me and Elder Jacobs sunday night 

-HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! We weren't allowed outside after dinner, so that's real fun!

-Half of the mission has now been quarantined because bed bugs have broken out around the mission, lol (we avoided the infestation, don't even stress)

-This week, I was studying in Moroni 1-6 and it stood out to me, that he refused to deny Christ, being the only believer left. Even in the face of death, literal death, he would refuse to deny Christ. Because he understood that, as disciples, not just as missionaries, we've been asked to declare our faith in Jesus Christ and what he means for us. And we've been asked to always remember him, by doing what he would do and turn outwards. 

It's also stood out to me, because these people have been ministered personally by Christ. Christ has a personal ministry, it is not a one size fits all, but rather there are infinite sizes, and one specific and exact for every person.

Choose to pray to God, through Christ, with real intent this week, and I promise, all things that are expedient in him, he will strengthen and help you, but we must have spiritual eyes to be open to all possibilities!

-Ama a Toda persona y a toda cosa

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. That was humbling and powerful, to see the hope that the gospel has brought to her life, and I got to go to her baptism and help the Lafe Elderes!  We had a good ol tormenta blanca en nuestro area. 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...

Hope that caught everyone's attention, but this week was absolutely awesome!  We had some awesome lessons with our friends Tin and Ani! 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...
