There isn´t a ton this week but there were a couple
fun stories. My companion from the MTC, Elder Warth, and I got to do
divisions this last week which meant that we traded companions for a day
and I got to work with him for a day. That was an awesome and cool
experience and I hope we both stay this transfer so we can do it
again!!! When we were working we started teaching 3 little boys in the
street and by the time we ended we had a crowd of 12 people around us
that all accepted a baptismal date but this was in his area so I don´t
know where that will go but it was still cool to experience. Then, on
thursday we made tacos with la familia mercado which was really cool
since they dont do tacos here. They all loved them but two of the
daughters thought they were really spicy and they weren´t spicy at all!!
haha There are now only 15 days til transfers and when I finish my
training! It will definitely be fun to see where I go and who my new
companion is. There was another group of like 20 boys in our area that
are like they thugs and they make the neighborhood the most dangerous in
Sáenz Peña but we started teaching them the lessons and teaching them
english here and there and now they love us and said they would protect
us so the only dangerous people we had to worry about before are now on
our side haha. There isn´t that much more this week and I don´t have a
lot of time to write but I am always thankful to those that write me and
keep in contact. I just wanted to share a short quote before I
finished. It is from Gordon B Hinckley and it says, " The best antidote I
know for worry is work. The best medicine for despair is service. The
best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even
more tired." I think we can learn a lot from this and if we focus more
on helping others then we will be happier and won´t feel as bad about
our own lives. I love it here and can´t wait to hear from everyone!
