Sit down...BE HUMBLE

Well world, I'm short on time as always but I thought I'd take this time to repent and tell you all a story. I think my last email gave you all the impression I speak Spanish already. Well, that very day we went to a dinner appointment and the Lord humbled me hard. It was with two old gauchos (cowboys) and they speak really heavy and I didn't understand a thing and I made a fool of myself trying to respond confidently. So yeah, the language is still a work in progress but at the same time I can function so don't worry too much about me! 

 

The other quick story was this Thursday we spent all day contacting doors, all our plans failed and the sun about killed me. It was a brutal day and right at the end of it, we contacted a door and this is how it started "Hello how are you?" and he responded "BAD!! He doesn't hear me!!" well we took some time and talked to this guy. Turns out he was actually baptized 30 years ago in our church and he felt God had stopped listening to him. We talked about the entire plan of Salvation and it was such a good experience. It's hard to explain but every single question he had, we had a scripture and response. His name is Carlos and we're gonna head back over this week. I'll let y'all know if anything more develops but he told us he's gonna read in his Book of Mormon and pray for the first time in 25 years so that's amazing!!

Well that's about it for me. I hope you all have a very very FELIZ NAVIDAD and look for ways to put the Savior in the center of your lives. 

Con amor

I don't have a new photo from this week so here's an old one I may or may not have already sent. I really dunno to be honest I just think it's dope. We're at one of the only touristy spots in Rosario and it's under construction so that was a bummer but I got time to see it how it normally is. It's some sort of flag monument.
