Buen Día

Buen Día Familia!

This week was super good!! We had transfers this week so that was pretty crazy. We had 7 missionaries go home this week and we got 12 so we are growing still! That is jone of my favorite things is to see and hear the testimonies of the fieles as they leave and see how much they have grown and then see the newbies with their huge desire to learn and grown and be the best missionaries that they can be! It is incredible to see this every few weeks! I love it!

Also THE MELO FAMILY GOT MARRIED!!!!! Unfortunately his job gave him ten days of payed vacation and so they left on friday and werent able to get baptized, but they said when they get back they are going to do it! I am so happy for them :) I just hope they will keep reading and praying while they are on vacation so that they can keep that desire to get baptized!

This week it is off to Bariloche to prepare for Elder Teixeira who is coming to have a council with us on Friday!! I am super excited! :) Its gonna be a great week! hope you all are well and have a great week!!

Love,

Elder Stuart

Personal Revelation

Buen Día Familia!

This week was super crazy! We had to say goodbye to the ones going home, so that always sucks. Had to say bye to Elder Clemens, gonna miss that guy! But we are going good still, we got some great new missionaries and we are super excited to see what these next few months will bring us! Im super excited to work with Elder LeBaron, and see what we can do! This week we have been learning a lot about personal revelation and how important it is in our lives to help us be able to keep going forward in the path of the Lord. Just like Nephi in 1 nephi 10 were he talks about how he had desires to learn about the things of his father, we must have those same desires and then work with diligence to find the answers, and that is when we will recieve. One of the promises that is repeated the most in the scriptures is just that, Knock and it shall be opened unto you.

Love you all! I hope we all can continue learning and progresssing every day! Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Stuart

Buen Dia Familia!

Buen dia familia!

this week was really great! We were able to send home some great missionaries and get some new ones that are super ready to work! We are excited for this new transfer! This week was really full of miracles. Me and my comp were walking the other day when we passed two ladies outside doing some yardwork, we had passed them like three times in these weeks and they are always working on something and we always ask if we can help but they said no. But this week we werent going to let the opportunity go bye. So we just walked over and basically just grabbed a shovel and asked if we could help! They finally let us help them and we began to dig a hole so that we could put a fence up. It was a lot of fun and we got a few days of work done for them in an hour. Then when we finished we had a lesson with them and it went really well and was super spiritual. It was amazing to see how the Lord puts people in our path if we are just willing to take the initiative and go after it! 

Love you all! Thanks for all the support in this time of my life. Have a wonderful week! 

Love, Elder Stuart

From Elder Stuart's Mom : Found all of these on Facebook from President Casariego. Thought you might enjoy them.

The first picture is from one of those 5 second videos of them dancing so I took a screen shot. The second is from a video Sister Casariego does when missionaries leave. The rest are from coming and going missionaries. ENJOY!"
