Well this week was good. It is starting to get hotter that's for sure. Yesterday felt pretty hot outside. So that's always super fun.
But this week was good! I noticed more of the tender mercies from the Lord. I promise there are tese tender mercies everyday in our lives. We sometimes just dont even notice them. But it helps at the end of the day about what about that day and we can start to see them more in our lives.
Another thing I noticed more this week is the kids yelling hello at me. Like they see me and think oh hes a gringo ¨hello¨ so that's fun. I always respond to them in English and they are left there just like what did he say
This week was good. we found 4 new invetigators. and a couple of them are family of some of the members so we are going to work with them more. the other couple are our old dueños. We left a Book of Mormon with them and now we are teaching them! thats awesome! In church yesterday we only had 23 people. I think part of the reson why is because yesterday was Mothers Day (the Argentine Mothers Day) Happy Mothers Day mom! But yesterday for lunch we ate an asado with meat and chicken and lamb and it was super good! But we are looking forward to a good week coming up here!
John 17:3 is a scripture I read this week that I really like. It talks about knowing God and Christ and the way we can come to knpw them both more and personally is through the scriptures. Through studying the scriptures. I have come to love to study the scriptures. I look forward everyday to just keep to study and learn more.
This video is by Elder Bednar. it talks about the light of christ. I invite y'all to watch it and to also watch part 2 and 3 and to think of how you can apply it in your lives.
have a great week!
con amor
