Happy Mothers day! (Of Argentina!) Ya, we celebrated it
yesterday. Holidays are the worst for proselyting here, because everyones
either outside drunk or inside not wanting to talk with us. hahaha! Well,
despite that, we were still able to find some new people. Elder Villa has a
very unique personality (He´s crazier than I am, can you imagine?), but despite
that, he work´s pretty well. We´ve been pounding the area hard this week, I´m a
bit bummed, because we technically didn´t arrive to our goal of 30 Books of
Mormon handed out... Right now, our goals as a mission is to hand out 30 books
of mormon to people who´ll accept another appointment to their house, and the
commitment to read the Book. This helps us to talk with a TON of people.
Yesterday night, we´d only arrived to 29 books handed-out, and we had one more
left in our hands. We contacted a lady, and she accepted the book and the
commitment to read it, but then didn´t accept a visit to her home. *sigh* oh
well mission probs. hahaha!
Anywho, after like 3 or 4 months, I´ve finally been able to
go to the mission office and get a bit of mail... And I was reading one of the
letters from my grandparents. In one part of the letter, my Grandpa wrote
"Listen for our prayers". That sentence there really called my
attention. It made me think if I really am listening for the prayers of others.
First off, I thank you all for your prayers, and know that i´m praying for you
too. It´s important that we always "Listen" for the prayers of
others, and have gratitude for those prayers. And ya, let´s just raise our
spiritual awareness and keep those prayers flooding the heavens. I love you
all, the work is going well here, and we´re seeing a lot of progress in the
people.
Hurrah for Israel!
