The Final Countdown

Oh friends and family. It hurts me to say that after this email, I only have one more left to write.. Where did the time go?? 

We´ve had a pretty good week here en El Talar. On Wednesday we had a super cool activity. The zone got together in Talar for 2 hours Wednesday morning. Basically we split up and exploded El Talar. It was cool. We had 18 missionaries there and in 2 hours we set up about 46 appointments. It was awesome! 

We had an appointment with Sara and Briyit this week. We went there thinking we were going to teach lesson 3, but the spirit directed us to talk about other things. We talked about prayer and how we can recieve an answer. She said she hasnt recieved one.. Then says its because she hasn't prayed. We told her that we always pray for her, but that we can´t recieve an answer for her. That it depends on her. We also mentioned that we had set the goal for her baptism for the 5th which was yesterday. She didn't feel comfortable. She said that if she got an answer she would be baptized, but she hasn´t received that answer. That was on Tuesday. We set another appointment for Friday and she cancelled it. Then didn't come to church on Sunday. We´re a little nervous. But we´re just going to keep working and hope that she has the desire to keep going. 

We´ve found some other people, but we haven't seen them enough to know if they´re going to progress or not. BUT there is a girl named Kiara, that is pretty much a member, just lacks the baptism. She comes every Sunday and goes to every activity. Her parents gave her permission to listen to us so basically she can be baptized this coming sunday! 

We have a member of the ward that is a convert and I don't know if he has problems or what, but he asks the most random questions. For example "Why first, second and third nephi? Who are the nephis??" Or (talking about the offices in the priesthood) "But where does the pope fit in to all of this?? And there arent prophets and apostles today, right? Oh, there are?? But only for the people in north america.. right??" He kills me. 

But honestly, I love being a missionary. I love having the nametag, being able to represent Christ here in Argentina. I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left to do it. Breaks my heart. :( I love being a missionary!! I love the mission and I love the people here.

I love you all. Have a great week!!!

Love,

Hermana Prestwich
