Tuesday: we did not do much
but we were on divisiones for today. I was with Elder Francom and we were good
in my area. we made 5 new friends and it was really fun. We were walking to
centro to meet up with the other elders to make the change and we found a lady.
She was really sad and she had a box in her arms and she stopped us. She asked
if we were people of faith and that we were from a church and we said yes and
talked. She started to breakdown and it was sad. She told us her story. She
asked us why does God allow us to suffer and then she told us what happened.
Her 3 kids died in an accident and then because of the accident, her husband
committed suicide. She got pregnant after and then she had abortion done just
because she did not want to have her kid suffer as the others suffered. We
talked and she wanted to know how she can live with them forever or again and
we tried explaining but she was too broken down and she then asked if we could
tell her how she can commit suicide "without going to hell" we tried
to talk to her but she said thanks anyways and then left us. She told us that
she could just kill herself at the moment because she had a knife but she
wasn’t going to do it just yet. Me and Francom were destroyed and we felt so
bad that we let her walk away. We walked over to the sidewalk after she went
away and we said a prayer for her. When we finished, he asked me what we should
do and I felt we needed to talk to her again. We turned the corner and we went
walking after her. We found her at a kiosco and we talked as she was asking
people to light her cigarette. We talked a little more and she gave us her
directions to visit and talk more. I hope the hermanas can help her because it
is not in our area but I know they can help her.

Wednesday: I went in
divisiones with Elder Taylor in his area and we had a lot of citas fall
through.

Thursday: Today was good. We
worked hard and at the end, it was Gappy's last night with us so we made a fire
on the roof of their apartment building and we cooked s’mores and hotdogs and
it was super fun. The other elders shared a story and they had such weird ideas
of what to do if you need to cast a devil out... I thought you could always
cast one out if you do it in the name of Christ and all that but they went on
talking about how we need to call the stake president or our mission president.
The story was that the elders in san antonio oeste had problems and called the
mission president. He was scared and he could not cast the devil out.

Friday: Today all we
did was prepare for our meeting with Elder Gong.
11/17/18,
Saturday: We woke up at 3
to leave for Bahía and to see Elder Gong. We traveled for 4 hours and we got
there at 8 so there was a lot of time. I was super excited to see others from
my group! We got to see others and it was really fun! Then we met Elder Gong.
He walked in during our mission picture and then we all got the chance to shake
his hand and then we all got to tell him who we were and where we are from and
it was super cool. He talked to us and he talked about 3 things. Prophecy, our
call, and the doctrine of Christ. He talked about our call and how we are
called specifically to Argentina to bless certain people whether it be our
comp, our family, the members or anyone we find. It is true because everyone we
meet, there is always some way that you can help them and even do something to
teach them or to learn something from them. I liked a story he shared about
Elder Cook. He said he only liked football and when he went on his mission, his
comp only liked music so he learned to like music. He then met his wife because
she liked music and it helped him to find his eternal companion and it is true.
We may be here to learn things to help us and to help others. He quoted "You
will not marry your comp, but you will learn things from them that will help
you when you find the person you are going to marry" everything helps so
much! It was super cool and then he talked about prophecy. He talked about the
prophecy given in Buenos Aires to bless the lands of South America and Argentina.
This blessing gave a certain promise to us - the missionaries of Argentina and
it is super cool. Every day we fulfill this promise and we learn to fulfill the
prophecies of the Lord. The doctrine of Christ, he urged us to study 2 Nephi 31
and it contains the doctrine of Christ and everything. I urge everyone to study
it because it is really cool. He even shared jokes! jaja it was really fun. We
left and we got transfers. I guess me and my comp are leaving and they will put
hermanas in our area again.
