Week 11 - Boulogne

This has been a great week.

Let's see where to begin... Tuesday was the last district meeting of this transfer, and it was good we talked about having true desires to convert people. 

Tight now we have a girl named Milagros thats going to be baptized Saturday, and she is so awesome. We talk to her everyday and she's really been progressing so much. She's from Peru, and she says she has felt really alone ever since she moved here, but ever since she learned about the church, she feels so much better.

On Saturday, she even made us some Peruvian food which was sooo good, especially after the fact that we eat millanesa for lunch practically every day. Anyway, Milagros has literally been a milagro (miracle) and we are so excited for her.

Friday we did divisions with the Zone Leaders, so I spent all day Friday with Elder Byers, which was crazy because it's just two dudes from Spokane Washington, preaching the gospel down in Buenos Aires. It was so fun and we taught a bunch of lessons that day, and I learned a lot from him. Plus, that night we spent the night in their apartment and ordered a ton of ice cream which was really good.

Saturday, we were literally having no luck. Nobody was home for our appointments and nobody was in the streets because it was pouring rain. So, we went to the chapel ,and just said a prayer and asked the Lord what to do because we had no idea what would work. It came to my mind to knock on the door of some contact that we had made like two weeks ago, that we had already tried to contact like 3 times, but they were never home, and pretty sure they were just ignoring us. But I was just like, "let's do this". It turns out they weren't home, but thats not the important part. Literally directly on the way to their house, we ran into an investigator in the street that we had been trying to track down for like 2 weeks and we talked with them for like 30 minutes. Anyways, moral of the story is that the Lord provides, but not always in the way you would think.

Today for P-Day we bought a ton of asado [meat used to barbeque] and cooked it at the church with the Elders from Suarez and Ballester, it was awesome.

Everything is good. Miss you all.
