Week 4 in Rosario Mission

May 29, 2017

Hola Mi familia!

This week has been a good one for mi, and it sounds like it`s been a really good week for the family back home!

This Week Not a lot happened to be honest, but it was a great week for some of our investigators and their progression, as well as finding new people to teach :)

At the start of this last week we visited a lady named Nora. Nora is from Peru and is probably like in her late 50`s more or less, she went to church once when she lived in Peru but only went once with a friend and it was along time ago, so she didn`t really remember anything about it. So anyways this was our 4 lesson with her, and we were talking about the doctrine of christ. Fe, Arrepentimiento, Bautismo, el don del espiritu santo, and persiverar hasta el fin, and when we were done explaining these things she told us outright that she wasn`t going to be baptized in our church haha she is very direct. It didn`t phase us because we get told that 20 times a day haha so we just kept talking, and teaching about the gospel. At the end of our lesson we introduced The Book of Mormon, and asked her if she receives an answer from god through the spirit of the truthfulness of the book and the gospel, if she would be baptized? and she said she would haha so it was a great lesson which went from her saying she would never be baptized to, she will, once she receives her answer! :)

Also this week we contacted a guy named Marcello, he is probably 50 or so, and is super nice! We found him one day and talked about religion for probably a half hour or so the first time, and then t he next visit he came out of his house and talked to us, about it again haha in the middle of one of us talking he interrupted and asked what it was about him that made us want to talk to him, and we responded by saying that we had been led to his door by the holy spirit and that god wanted him to be found! And so we gave him a Book of Mormon because he loves to read about religion and was very intrigued when we gave him the Book... For free haha We are going to go back today to ask him if he read, because he said he would read the introduccìon and Moroni 10:3-5, and pray about it, after only two visit`s! I have a good feeling about him :)

We are going to baptize a little guy named Federico in a week and a half, He is 10, and has two amigo`s that were just recently baptized too, and he wanted to learn and be taught by us too! He`s super cute and innocent and very smart! the first visit with him he told us the whole story of Moses haha he didn`t miss a detail. We are also teaching his mom now as well, she`s gonna need a little more time but she will get there too eventually :)

Then there is the family that fed us brain haha, we meet with them twice a week sometimes and they always read and pray, but never will go to church... They are a frustrating family at times, because I think that they just want to be our friends, and not so much about the church, but we always share a gospel message with them, and then we will talk for 15 minutes and they`ll feed us sometimes and then we will leave. They are super funny, they said last time we were there: We can`t wait till you aren't missionaries so that we can just talk, and you won`t have to go home at a certain time and stuff like that haha and so that they cook us a lot of food and stuff, they are very social and good good people, but they just aren't committed right now. We are going to keep trying to work with them though!

One of our investigators was in a bad accident yesterday... She was on a bike and a guy on a motor bike hit her, and we arrived at the scene like 15 minutes later by chance... she was already in the ambulance when we got there, but we talked to her daughter and are going to go over there to see her tomorrow... Her name is Isabell. Her son was Baptized 3 months ago.

For P-Day today we went to La Puente Victorìa Which is the massive bridge that connects Rosario to another part of the city across the river, we took some pictures and went there with the Zone leaders this Morning! It was a good time!

We are going to buy Groceries right now, and some other stuff I think and then go visit people, and teach them :)

Jerseys down here are like super inexpensive, So I might get one for everybody eventually. Everyone has to be Rosario Central Fans though!! I got a jersey the other day for like 10 dollars Canadian and it`s pretty good quality too :)
