Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Argentina #55

Hello!

Oh my gosh! The sun is killing us! It´s normally about 95-100 here. Which may not seem like a lot, but when you think about how air conditioning doesn´t exist, and how we walk everywhere, it really is a lot. And they all say that this heat lasts until May. yay.

But it´s ok, because we are going to have a baptism this weekend! David, the 81 year old, is getting baptized this Saturday. It´s a huge miracle. We didn´t think we would have a baptism this transfer because it´s basically like we´re opening an area because there were NO investigators. Huge blessing and we are so grateful! And it´s amazing because David lived quite the life back when he was young. And actually his whole life. The water´s gonna be pretty full of sins afterward! haha but that is what is so beautiful about the gospel. A person can start a clean slate after 81 years. And God won´t remember a single sin. Incredible.

Another great experience was teaching the Plan of Salvation to a woman who lost her mom when she was 1, and since then, all of her siblings, her dad, and her husband. We read the first 5 verses in D&C 137 together to understand what the celestial kindgom is like, and we all ended up bawling. After about 10 minutes of crying. She told us, ¨I really hope to recieve the answer that what you´re teaching me is the truth¨ Huge breakthrough with her because she loved her Catholicism. 

Being a missionary is the coolest thing ever. I am so happy that I am here! 

Love, 

Hermana Sandorf
