Promises of the Lord

Hola familia! This week was great! we have been working really hard on trusting on the promises of the Lord and having faith in that! i love John 4:35. :) im not gonna say what it is so you can look it up and read the scriptures today everyone ;) but it is a promise that is so true, we just need to look like the Lord does, keep working and he will give us the success that we need, not always what we want, but just what we need. We found a new/old investigator this week. His name is Martin and he had talked with the missionaries before and had gone to church a couple of times, and we found him in the house of a recient convert and started to teach him! Pray for him that he can have the desires to take the step of baptism soon!! The Lord really is blessing us here. :)

Love you all :)

Exciting News for April!

Hola Familia!

Not much to write about this week, we were finishing up the conferences up here in valley, and it went super well. we are trying to find the way to help the missionaries increasae their faith and attitude so that we can find the success that the Lord has prepared for us. We are super excited becasue we have President Nelson coming to visit our misison in April!!! So we are super excited trying to prepare for that! It is going to be amazing!!!

Something we have learned this week with President. Alma 26:27. Many times in our lives we will find ourselves discouraged with something that has happened, or not achieving what we want. The Lord will seldom just take away the adversity or hardships, but rather help us increase our faith and confidence in Him and His atoning sacrifice. i think it is very significant that in the Guide to the Scriptures under the word "Endure" the first word it sends you to as a comparison is "adversity". We must pass through hard times to be able to apply the atonement in our lives but we need to have the same faith as Ammon and the Sons of Mosiah and know that the Lord " Will give unto (us) success."  He will always be there to help us fufill what we need. He lives, and knows us personally, and will help us become the Children He needs us to be.

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

Look for the Miracles of Every Day

Hello Fam!

This week was super great! We finished up the conferences in the south and made our way back to Neuquén! Things are going super well, we finally got back with the Familia Melo, and they are doing good. You can tell that their honeymoon took out a little of the excitement to get baptized... but they said they would pray to see if they need to be baptized this coming week. Please pray for them to recieve their answer! They are so great! We also had a miracle happen on Saturday, we were walking along and i took a Book of Mormon out of my bag to show Elder Ortiz something and then we saw a man working in his car and we asked if he needed help and he just said ¨no, but is that the book of mormon you are carrying?" we were so surprised and he told us he found one one time and started reading and really liked it, but had never talked to missionaries. His name is carlos and we have a cita with him this week!! We hope he keeps progressing!! Things are going well and we are seeing many miracles in our mission right now! i love it! All is well and i hope you are all doing well and know i pray for you all every day! Have a wonderful week and look for the miracles of every day!

Love,

Elder Stuart

Conference and Interviews with Elder Teixeira!

Us with President and the Hermana! Bariloche!

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,

Elder Stuart
