Elder Tanner Christensen: Week 37

This week went by super fast. On Tuesday we did a super good family home evening with Arleanys and Oscar with another young married couple and it went super well. And we ate a ton of pizza.

Oscar hopefully will get baptized on the 30th, if he can stop smoking. On Wednesday we had another family home evening with Jose the investigator that will get baptized on the 23rd. We met with the Madariaga family who are in the BA temple presidency and they just like waved their hand and said “Jose you will stop smoking “ and Jose was like “Yes I will stop smoking”. Anyway we also had at a ton of food there.

Wednesday night we had another interesting ward council. I wish I had brought some popcorn cause it was pretty entertaining as usual with shots being fired left and right. I don’t know why people complain about ward council. For me it’s pretty entertaining as long as they’re not mad at us.

Thursday we had a huge zone conference in our chapel in Caballito with 4 other zones and it went well and we ate McDonalds for lunch. Then after the zone conference, we had a lesson with Jose in the chapel and Jose really likes to talk about whatever random thing that comes to his mind. So he was telling some crazy story about some bar fight he was in as a younger dude, and then President Smith knocks on the door and asks if he could join us. So I cut Jose’s story off and we had a good lesson even though Jose can’t shut up and listen for 5 seconds. Saturday was pretty busy trying to track down all the people to come to church. Then Sunday was good.

We had an investigator named Norma that showed up thankfully, and she’s like “Yeah, I’m gonna get baptized the 6th. Is that Ok? I already bought a plane ticket for my niece to come in from Tucuman”, and I was like “yeah that's ok”.

Anyways a good week overall and we are super excited for general conference. Sounds like there’s gonna be a lot of changes.
