Baptizing Buenos Aires: Blessings really do come after the trial of faith

This was an awesome week. I really don't have words to explain it.

Just a lot of awesome things. On Tuesday we had interviews with President. Took all day but sooo worth it. President always knows what it is I need to hear. He´s always super direct with me for some reason. My comps always say that he's super nice and all in interviews with them, but he's always super direct with me. All good though. I need it.

So this week we finally got to see Suli, a super awesome contact we did in the plaza. We had an AWESOME lesson with her! Like, so awesome. We read in 3 Nephi, and she loved it. We committed her to coming to church and she said we needed to wait for her there because she was for sure coming... and didnt show up. But it's okay because we had an awesome miracle.

Her name is Sara. She was a contact done by the elders. We called her to set up an appoitment and she said "the boys invited me! Wait for me on the corner tomorrow because I'm coming!" So we waited, and she came. With her daughter who happens to be 9 :) She loved it, and already said she´ll be coming back next week. So we have an appoitment with her this week and we´ll be committing her and her daughter (and hopefully her husband) to baptism :)

Now for the highlight of the week:

Today in the morning we had a special meeting with Elder Stevenson from the Quorom of the 12 Apostles. It. Was. Awesome. It was with all the leaders from all 4 of the Buenos Aires North missions. Before we started he asked to be able to shake everyones hand, and that was awesome. It was a really cool meeting about how to be a better leader and a better missionary over all. And, even though I had dreams every night this week about falling or messing up directing the music in front of an apostle, everything went great. Hahah but really it was such an incredible meeting. His wife said something that I loved. Talking about missionaries, she said, "you´re different, and that´s so good".

I think that applies to everyone, missionaries and members. We have different standards, different goals, and a different perspective. We all are trying to come unto Christ and return to our loving Heavenly Father. We´re different, and that is so good.

I love you all, and I hope you have an amazing week.

Love,

Hermana Prestwich
