Well, first off, one funny thing this week was during a
lesson. We were teaching this lesson in the street with a member and his
friend. While Elder Cedeño was talking, this drunk guy (named Pocho) came
up to me and started telling me about his life, how it was a mess, and asked if
i had any advice for
him. So, i told him a little bit about how it´s important that we
establish goals in the future, and follow guidlines in order to obtain these
goals. We then obtained his contact info and that was that. Fun
stuff! I´m hoping his address is correct, because he didn´t seem to sure at the
time... jajaja!
Well, we´ve taught some pretty good lessons this week, and
i´m grateful for those. Oh! One small thing to mention is transfers!
Neither me or Elder Cedeño were transfered, but our zone has been moved around
a bit.
One fun thing about Argentina is the police force
here. They´re always patrolling and flashing lights, and the other day,
some drove past us on motorcycles, in all black, with shotguns in hand. Fun
fun!
oh, another thing I want to mention is that it´s super
annoying when these people try to talk to me in English. I´m trying to
learn the language, so i really don´t want much English interference... plus
they don´t know enough to actually explain anything, so it´s just all around
better if the speak to me only in Spanish... ergh... but, oh well!
Oh, the title of this email is "Do I realize?" In
our last reunion of the zone, the question was posed of if we really realize
the importance of this work. Do we realize how much joy and comfort we
can bring into lives? This is really a serious thing we´re doing.
Ok, one cool lesson that we had this week was with a guy
named Carlos Maria. We were visiting a member, her neighbor walked
by. We talked with him outside for a minute, and he brought up the question
of where we go after this life, and a few other things with that. We were
pretty much like, wellllll, we can tell you a bit about that! It´s really
nice that this Gospel is from Christ, because it has the answers to Life´s
questions! So, for the next hour or so we talked to him and taught him the Plan
of Salvation. We left him with the commitment to pray about it, and we´re
going to try to meet with him again. It´s a little difficult, because his
life doesn´t have an horario (I can´t remember the word for that in English at
the moment, but you have google... )
So ya, a good week. Cada Día, Yo se mas y mas que este
evangelio es verdadero. Estoy tratando a mejorar mi mismo, a mediante
Jesucristo, yo puedo hacer esto. Yo oro cada día para ustedes! Les
quiero!

What we thought was Elder Cedeno’s last supper, but it turns out he didn’t get transferred so we are still companions!
