Working Hard & Trusting Him Lead to Success

Hola Familia!

Things are going great here in the mission! We finished the zone conferences this week so that is good! It was great to see how all the missionaries are growing and be able to learn from each and everyone of them by working with them and being with them. We had a really cool experience the other day where it reaffirmed my testimony that the promises of the scriptures are true. I was in exchanges in Zapala with Elder Batres and Elder Rose! (Two ex companions of mine!!) and we had a day that was alright, we didnt find too many people that wanted to talk and didnt open the door a lot. so we decided to take a second to pray and ask the Lord to help us find those that are in need of this message. As we finished we saw a family walking up the hill and we decided to go talk to them. We stopped them and started to talk and they told us that they had already talked with missionaries before and that we could pass by another time. It was amaizng to see that the promises found in the scriptures and preach my gospel are true. if we work with all we have and are diligent and we trust in Him, He will lead us to the success. 

Love you all! This is the work of the Lord and i am so greatful to be a part of it :)

This is our home, on the other side of the room we have a bunk bed, and Elder Pacheco's is under the bed and he pulls it out at night, we have three in our room, then another room for the other two. and then our kitchen and we have a tiny bathroom too! But I get my new apartment today, so pics of that next week.

Villa Regina!!!!

Well I finally made it to Argentina and I finally have my area! I am in a town east of Neuquen called Villa Regina! It is such a beautiful area and I love it here! I live on the edge of the city and we are in charge of the outskirts so everywhere is dirt floors and little shacks for homes! But the all have direct tv... hahah! Also they love sweeping their dirt floors and they water their dirt outside! it is awesome! The people here are amazing!!

I am in a trio right now with Elder Pacheco (He is from Ecuador and has 23 months in the mission and is the trainer.) and Elder Batres who got here when I did and he is from Costa Rica. And we also live with Elder SIlva (Brazil) y Elder Alonzo (Paraguay). And so basically I am in a house with all spanish speakers!! It is difficult but it is helping out a lot.

We have a lot of great investigators down here! We have a couple getting baptized this week!!! We are working with a lot of the youth and that is a lot of fun! I had to teach Primary yesterday so that was intersting!

Things are great here!! Thanks for all your love and support!! I love you all!

Love, Elder Stuart
