Elder Teixeira & Miracles

Hola Familia!!!

This week was amazing. This truly is thework of the Lord. this week we went down to Bariloche to prepare for Elder Teixeira (our area President) who came Friday to have a conference with us. While we were there we went to work with the missionaries with the investigators that they had that had gone to church and were progressing but just werent getting to baptism. They had one person that was going to get baptized that weekend. But then the Miracles happened. We taught this family and a very long story short they called the missionaries the next day and wanted to get baptized, it was amazing to see how the work of those missionaries helped this family out so much and we were able to give them the last push they needed and now they are baptized members of the church of Jesus Christ :) It was amazing. at the end of the week Bariloche had 5 baptisms. It was such a Miracle. The Lords hand really was here with us. Then we had wamazing conference with the Elder Teixeira and all the Zone Leaders and Hermana Leaders. It was an amazing conference and i learned so much. I am so proud to be a missionary at this time of this great work! Things are advancing and we are seeing a lot of miracles in the mission, seeing things happen that have never been done. The Lord is blessing us. This is His work and His glory. i know that without a doubt :) Love you all! thanks for all your support! have a great week!!

Love,

Intercambios con Elder Bliss

This week was great! hahah as always! We had a really cool experience the other day! I was on intercambios with the zone leaders of villa regina, and i was with ELder Bliss!! We were here working in our area and we were trying to find a reference that we had gotten, we went to what we thought was the house and we knocked and an older lady came out. She wasnt the reference that we were looking for, but she said that her mother was a member and when she was younger she went to church a few times! she was really excited and said that after the lesson she felt something really special again, just like she did when her mom was with her. It was such a cool experience and something that i have really been learning in these weeks, is that if we are really desirous to find people to teach we will be lead to those that are ready to receive the blessings of the Lord!

Thank you all for the support! i love you all! have a great week!

Buen dia familia!

This week was a great week! We had a really cool experience this week while we were in Roca doing exchanges with the zone leaders. We were walking down the street and we saw two ladies sitting outside, and we went up to talk with them. One of them was a member, but inactive for a long time, and the other is her sister who is not a member. The member told us that she didnt want anything because she was mad at God because her husband had died about a month ago. We were able to testify to her of the love of God and how everyone of us will be able to be with our loved ones again if we follow the gospel of Christ. It was such a great experience to be able to help someone find the peace and joy that comes from this gospel. The spirit that you can feel as you testify of these divine truths is amazing, and i am so grateful for the opportunities that my Heavenly Father gives me everyday to testify of my Savior Jesus Christ and how through his atoning sacrifice we can be saved :) 

Great week! :) Thank you all for all your support! have a wonderful week everyone!

Love,

Chos malal!!!!!

Bueno. This week on my way to chos malal i thought that my comp was already there, but he ended up getting on the bus (which was 12 hours....) about half way through and he thought i was there. Turns out we were thrown into a white wash and nobody told us! We got to our area about two in the morning and only had a few notes from the Hermanas (yes we kicked out some hermanas and stole their pension ;)haha) We then looked through some of the area book real fast, and went to sleep with those names in our head. 4 hours later... haha we got to get up and get going! The zone leaders called us and gave us a challenge to have 21 lessons this week.... that is very difficult, even when you have investigators to teach. And we didnt! They told us to just try and teach people on their door step or get in for a short lesson. So we took the challenge to the Lord and asked for help. We started going, and holy cow the lord really answers prayers. The people here are so happy and nice, that we were able to start teaching people in their doorstep a quick little lesson. We got to Sunday night and it was 8:30, we had 20 lessons and thrity minutes. We had spent the last two hours looking for someone to teach but everyone was just rejecting us. We decided to say a quick prayer. We started walking down the street, and we saw this lady we had contacted the first day here, she was sitting outside alone, and called us over. we sat down, and she started to tell us that two people she knows had died this week (was that right english? haha) and so we were able to have an amazing quick lesson with her about the plan of salvation. She was so happy and said it really helped her. I can testify that the Lord answers our prayers and after we have done all we can do, we pray and ask for help and guidance, he will lead and guide us to were we need to go and what we need to do. Through the grace of our Savior we can see miracles. 2 Nephi 25:23, we know that it is through Christ that we can be saved and see miracles after we have done all that we can do. I love this work and I love my Savior so much.

Some interesting facts now!

We are in a group here in Chos, we have about 20 members... max.. and meet in a little rented place they have. Our leader de group has been a member for 6 months! haha he is such a Capo! He was able to recieve the Melchezidek preiesthood yesterday as well so that was really cool! This area is amazing, and i love it, and there are actually mountains!!!

Love you all. thanks for your support, and have a great week!!!
