baptism of Norma!

Baptism!

Great week!! Norma got baptized this week!!!! It was such a great experience because she has been waiting so long to be baptized (one year) and finally she was able to recieve the blessings that will come through this gospel :) It was amazing to see how happy she was when she came out of the water and then the next day when she got the gift of the Holy Ghost. It really makes everything worth it to see the change that this gospel makes in the life of others! I love this work!! 

Things are going great here in Chos Malal!! We are now working on new people to find and prepare to be baptized and slowly but surely we are building up the group here! It is awesome to see the Lords hand in the work. We really are seeing miracles everyday and we are going to keep trying as hard as we can to be able to continue to be the instuments that the Lord needs! 

Things are great. I love the mission and i hope you all know how much i love an appreciate everything that you all do for me! For the support and the love that you have all shown! I hope you all have a great week!!

Love, Elder Stuart

From Elder Stuart's Mom: I mentioned to Ryan in my email that his story of the font overflowing made a lot of people smile! This was his response:

"hahah the pool was so funny! we got there and everyone was upset and i just told them to put a smile on, clean it up, and we will laugh in two hours after the baptism! haha she is going to get dunked anyway so it doesnt matter! it made a good story! ;) "

You got to just love him and his positive attitude!!

Baptism!

Hola everyone!!

 This week was so good! SO many miracles this week! Idont have much time so it will be short. But Claudia got baptized this week!! It was so amazing to see the change that she made and to see the joy that she had when she could finally be baptized! also, funny story... so the night before the baptism we filled up the plastic pool thingy that we use to baptize, and we didnt turn off the wtaer all the way... so we got to the church and it was flooded with water! hahah we got it all cleaned up and luckyily nothing got damaged, and still made it in time for the baptism! It was awesome :) Also norma got married!!! So she will be getting baptized this upcoming week as well! The Lord really does give us miracles after the trial of our faith! Things are great!

Transfers

well.. another transfer and another change! I am staying here in Chos Malal!! But Elder Nielson is going to Neuquen, Progresso. It was a great transfer and we did a lot of great things and great memories, im going to miss it but i am excited for this new change and see what me and my new comp can do here in Chos!! Oh and Elder Barrios is coming to Chos malal with elder Juarez so that will be fun to see him again!

Things are great here in Chos! I love it here, the people are so nice, and it is way pretty, and the food is good! We have some pretty amazing investigators here as well and this transfer is going to be great with them. Roman is progressing well and we just have to work through some things and he will get baptized! He has such a desire to do it, and in some time we will see that baptism! Also we are planning a wedding for norma this week!!! She just has to recieve one more call from the city and we are good! Almost there! Keep her in your prayers please that she can get married this week and recieve the wonderful gift of being a member of this amazing church :) She really is so ready, she has such a strong testimony and we always feel the spirit so strong when we are with them. It is amazing how much being in the service of others can help you come to love them like Christ would. That is something that i, and all of us, should strive to do. Achieve the kind of Love and charity that our savior has for each and everyone of us.

Things are going up here in Chos Malal. I love it. I love the mission. I am growing so close to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know He lives and loves me and helps me along the way. I couldnt do this without him! I love this gospel!!! Please keep us in your prayers with this new change! Love you all! have a great week :)

Love,

Elder Stuart

Chos Malal!

This week was great here in Chos Malal! We are continuing to see the Lord work in marvelous ways. I love this work! This week we met a man named Roman, we met him on tuesday and talk with him a little about the Restoration. He loved it! We them went back a couple days later to see how he was doing and he was sitting outside reading the folleta!! It was so cool! He was really excited about it, because he said that he has been to a million churches and they all have ¨problems¨and he said he wanted to come to our church to see if it had problems as well. Hahah! And he came sunday!! After the meeting he said he loved it, and he would like to start learning more about it to see if it is something that he would like to join! It was a really cool miracles that we saw this week :) also Norma and Jessica are bothing getting their papers for marrige filled out with their ¨husbands¨and we plan to have their baptism in a couple of weeks! They are progressing well! Things are great here in Chos Malal :)

Funny thing this week.... but not so funny. We decided to do a Group activity saturday night for Easter, us misionarys got it all set up and everything, we should up at 630 when it started... and nobody was there. But we thought öh its ok, argentines are always late. Nope. not this time. Nobody came!!! It was so sad. But then one of the other elders investigadores walked past and we hurried and stopped her and had a lesson with her, so at least we got something out of it. haha!

Things are great! I love it here :) I hope you all have a great week! Love you all!

Love,

Elder Stuart

(hashtag(no hay on this keyboard....jaja)MIRACLES

This week was amazing!! First off we had zone conference on tuesday in a place called Rincon, it is about four hours away. Our leader of the group took us in his van.... it was four hours.. almost all dirt roads.. super bumpy, and no fourwheel drive... basically it was like a four hour ride on the ¨white rollercoaster¨.... hahah and then four hours coming back! So that was definitely an adventure! It was also early in the morning so say goodbye to trying to sleep on the way there or the way back!! jaja but it was so worth it because the conference was so good! We really focused on the importance of members and how we NEED to use them! We also talked about ¨getting our faces wet!¨Like my one letter about getting your feet wet, but going all out... lets just say pictures are coming of that... :) haha!

Miracle time, this week on monday night and was super late we had like 45 left until we returned and we were pretty far away, but we decided to go visit one last investigator that lived even further away. DOnt ask why, we are just crazy :) haha but really. We were being guided by the spirit. We went to Norma and we got there and they were getting ready to go to Neuquen. SHe is an investigator that was been with the missionaries for a while, but cant progress because has cancer and cant leave the house or get married because of it. They were going to nequeun to see the results of the last test, we decided to give her a blessing. The spirit was so strong and it was an amazing experience. Then we had to run home! haha but miracle isnt over... two days later we got a text and she said all the results came back super well and the cancer is basically gone!!!!!Such a miracle! She came to church this week with her daughter in law and they are now preparing to get married and get baptized. It was such a miracle!!! Fa i love this work!!!!! The Lord really is hastening his work :)

 

it was an amazing week. I love you all. I love this work so much. I hope you all had a good week and have an amazing week this week. Keep your eyes out for the Lords hand in your life, because it is ALWAYS there!! Love you all!!
