Baptizing Buenos Aires: 24 October 2016

These weeks are starting to fly by. Probably because it was an amazing week!

To start off.. We had our baptism!! It was amazing. Hermano Godoy was able to baptize his wife and son and it was so awesome. So his son, Valentin, doesn't count as a convert because he´s 8 and the son of a member, but he counts for us becuase we taught him, and the mom, Laura, finally was baptized. She told us she can't wait to go to the temple. That´s what called her attention. She didn't even really believe in God, but when she heard that families can be together forever, she loved it.

We found a couple of new people who were interested this week as well. They had accepted a Book of Mormon and we went by and they actually let us in, and told us they wanted us to come back. It was awesome.

Last week we were knocking doors and this guy comes running out of a building and goes "are you guys from some religion?" and we said yes and he goes "give me a book. give me something to read" so I tried to give him the book of mormon and he wouldn't take it haha so he asked for a pamphlet and luckily I had one, so I gave it to him. He told us to come back the following week. So we went by and he said that he´s super worried about the end of the world because that means Christ is coming and no one understand that they need to be prepared and the world is wicked and he can't find anywhere that will help him be prepared. So we taught the restoration, applying it all to how it can help us be prepared for the second coming, and he LOVED it. He asked so many questions and goes "okay. stop there. I'm going to go home and meditate this, and I'm going to read the pamphlet again. come back next week please" so awesome.

We also ran into even more crazies this week. Knocking doors and contacting does that I guess. We knocked on the door of one guy who I guess had been shot in the head and was crazy and looked at me and made a gun out of his hand and goes "tomorrow when I shoot you in the head you´re gonna realize that im crazy" and I was like.. "...uh huh.. okay well. bye!" And we met with some guy who was drunk when we got to our appointment and tried to make us go in a house that was pitch black and then looks at my companion and goes "you have a light about you. Christ is in you. I know because I´ve seen him. I'm an apostle like Peter and John. I know. (looks at me) You.. well. You need to get to know Christ more." THAAANKS.

We also had a meeting with all the missionaries, bishops, ward mission leaders, stake president, and one of the counselors of president smith yesterday. We talked about an action plan for the stake and the importance of the relationships between members and missionaries. It was really good.

Life is good. And crazy and stressful and just awesome. I´m happy. Bieng a missionay is literally the best thing ever. Its hard and demanding and challenging, but so so so rewarding. The happiness that comes from sharing the gospel and watching someone make covenants is the most rewarding thing. I love this gospel.

Have a great week!

Love,
