Week 38 Roldan

Hola mi familia :) 

Como estan todos? Por sus cartas me parece re bien!! 

My week was good too! :) There was lots to do haha

We had P-Day which we always go and play soccer in rosario, which is always a blast, and we always win the soccer games :) 

On tuesday we had one of our district meetings which are getting easier to plan and prepare :) It went well, we talked about the importance of having our purpose as missionaries in mind at all times, and teaching and finding with power and authority. It went well and everyone left feeling really animated and excited to go and work!!! That was my goal in mind before we started talking and teaching :) After the meeting we had a quick council as a district how we were going to start baptizing every week as a district... this was a little difficult to come up with plans so that everyone really felt like we could do it, because this past week as a district we didn't have anyone planned for baptism... at the end of this week we have 18 programmed baptisms as a district!!!!! 4 Companionships 18 baptisms!! It was incredible :) And it was amazing when we all were at zone conference two days later and we were able to talk about our council that we had as a district and when the the zone leaders asked every district how long it was gonna take to have there district baptizing every week, everyone said like a transfer or two, and we were able to say in 3 to 4 weeks we were going to be baptizing every week, which was pretty cool. The lord is definetely preparing people to be taught and to recieve the gospel of jesus christ :) 

Wow we all left the zone conference flying with the spirit!!! We taught lots of families this week, and had lots of success!! We got to sunday and still hadn't found and taught new investigadores that had any interest in progressing, but we had faith that we could find investigadores in the short time that we had sunday afternoon to work. We started the day with 0 and finished the day having found 4 new and prepared investigators!!! It was a miracle and the lord led us through the sprit to where they were :) It was amazing! 

Also the familia mincilla that we are teaching ( The family that we made pancakes for, and they came to church) Well they came to church last week again for the second time, and we have seen alot of changes in their family!! It has been an amazing privalege to be able to teach this man and his family, because they are looking to change and to follow gods will! When we were teaching them the last time, I got a strong impression that I was in Roldan at this moment to baptize this family, and that before this life me the man were friends... I started crying in the lesson and felt the spirit testify to me, that he was the reason that I was put in Roldan at this time. Anyway after church our branch president talked to the whole family in his office and committed them to putting a marriage date so that they can be baptized after that, tomorrow we have an appointment with them, and we are going to help them plan it all out :) I just hope we can get them married and baptized before I'm transferred... But oh well :) 

This week I learend alot about the atonement of Jesus Christ in my studies and at our meetings :) It is infinite. There is not anything that cannot be healed and taken care of through the atonement of jesus christ. Not one thing. When we use the Atonement of our Lord and Savior we are getting to know him more and more personal each time:) 

I memorized a scripture this past week... which isn't something that I do very often... but I did. Isaia 53:3-5 it's a long one, but it helps me focus on my Savior, and how I need to be better each day! 

I've also learned that I took alot of things for granted living where we lived... I'm eternally grateful for the family that God gave me, for the privelege to have grown up in the gospel, and for the maturity of the church culture in our town. In argentina it is the only thing that they are lacking... is maturity which comes from generations and generations of strong members :) 

This gospel needs to always be lived, there is no time to take a break!

Always live in the way to be worthy of the Spirit, and that God can trust in you :) This life is our time to prepare to meet God, and to perform our works among men. 

This is his work and his glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. 

Ours is the work of Salvation, the saving of souls, and the offering of a perfect brightest of hope and of all men :) 

Les amo muchisimo :) 

Tengan una semana magnifico :)

XOXO
