La obra

Hello again! I honestly feel like yesterday was Pday.. and I think that's the first time I can actually say that since the MTC. Time is starting to go by a lot quicker..

But anyway. Rita didn't end up getting baptized yesterday :( We met with her and she said she just isn't ready yet.. That she's "not going to lie" and doesnt know if she wants to keep the law of chastity.. I just don't understand. There is literally no reason for her to not accept it. She's not married, doesn't have a partner.. she just doesn't want to keep it "just in case" someone comes along.. hahahaha

BUT her son Damian is getting baptized next Sunday :) He went to church alone yesterday, as we couldnt go by to get him and none of his family went with him. He's so ready. He´s the uncle of Lucia, the 11 year old girl we baptized a while ago. We´re working with that family little by little :)

Dana. Let me just talk about how much I love her and how proud I am of her for like the bajillionth time. But fau. She told us this week that she was walking somewhere for about an hour or so and she was alone.. And she was just "talking to God". That she prayed and just told her about how she feels, what's happening, what she needs help with, and all that. It's amazing how much she's changed. She also gave her first talk yesterday and is going to the temple for the first time tomorrow :) I love her SO much. 

Yesterday in our meeting with our ward mission leader, I was thinking about how when I got to Escobar, I didnt understand a single word he said. Like.. literally nothing. And now I understand almost everything. I really do undertsand 90% of what everyone says. My problem now is speaking. 

The other day we were outside Dana´s house and I saw her neighbor sitting outside, as she normally is, and I felt like I needed to talk to her. I ignored it and made excuses like "no she's smoking she won't want anything to do with us" and things like that. But I kept feeling like I needed to talk to her. Finally I sucked it up and went over there. We talked, and she accepted a baptisimal date! She said her life has been super hard and she doesn't know who to go to for support... Good thing we have the answer :) She didnt come to church yesterday, but we´re not giving up :)

Other than that life is normal here. It's HOT. I got my first sunburn. It's hard when its 101 degrees, you're out of water, no one is in the street due to the fact that it's a million degrees, and if you happen to find someone, they either want nothing to do with you or just want to hit on you. 

But we keep pushing. Because its not about us. It's the Lord´s work and we´re here to find His children and help them return to Him. 

I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Love,
