This week was awesome! We had interviews with President Lovell. I love talking with him! He is just great!
The argentine pope is making catholics want to stay catholic. Catholics are always the easiest to convince that their church is a joke (we don´t say that to them, obviously), but now they are all proud to be Catholic. ugh.
Also, we found a family of seven- Familia Mendez. wow. this is what happened:
My first day in Trelew, we were Familia Ñancurupay´s house. They are getting reactivated and their daughter, Oriana, whose 9, will be getting baptized in April, if she goes to church two more times. There was a friend over named Roxana she´s 14. She asked us where we were from, why we were here, ect. Then, the next day, we decided to knock on a few doors, and the first door was Roxana´s door. she told us to come back another day later when her family was home. So on Monday, we decided to go and see if we were there. And they were all home and the mom let us in. She was nice and they listened to us as we taught them about the Atonement, but they didn´t seem super interested. They said that they were Catholic, but that we could come back because they wanted to strengthen their faith in Jesus. Then Friday we went again, and felt that we needed to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It went well, at the end of everything, we asked if they had any questions, and the mom, Ana, asked ¨What do you think of the Pope?¨ And we were like ¨oh, no! she´s gonna get mad!¨ but then she said, ¨because in the bible it doesn´t talk about a pope, it talks about apostles.¨And then we gave her a paphlet of Lesson 1 and they all promised to read it. Then she told us that her sister was getting married April 5 because she wants to be Mormon. We know a family that is getting married and baptized April 5, they are the investigators of our District leader. So it turns out that Ana´s sister is getting married and baptized, and Familia Mendez is going to go! And yesterday in stake conference, we met her sister and she was so excited to hear that Familia Mendez is meeting with us. I really know that they will get baptized! But I think it´s gonna take a month or two to baptize them because we want all 6 of them to have a testimony (the youngest only is 5). But what a huge blessing to be able to find prepared people and help them get ready to be baptized.
I love being a missionary!
