01/29/19, Tuesday: Today was good. We had the plan of salvation
lesson with M I. She is a nuevo we made last week and she is related to
a lot of members of the church. Her grandmother past away recently and her
grandma was a member. We taught her and it went well. We were talking about the
spirit world and about to go into the 3 kingdoms of glory and then she shared a
dream she had. In her dream, she
saw something I do not remember well but she said that there was just a really
bright light that would be kind of like the glory of Christ after he was
resurrected and it was great! We used that to tell her about the kingdoms of
glory and how our decisions allow us to obtain a kind of body and glory and if
we want to live with our families, we need to do all we can to accept the
gospel and do the things to enter the kingdom of God. We put a baptismal date
with her and it was good. She then prayed and she sounded just like a member
praying and it was just great!
01/30/19, Wednesday: Today we had a lesson with a couple people
but we visited M and she is an old lady that lives across from President Llanos
house. She recently lost her son 3 months ago and we talked with her and we
taught lesson 2. She cried and sobbed but she was happy we told her that. The
spirit was really strong and I can tell she wants to learn more. Hopefully we
can keep teaching her!
01/31/19, Thursday: Today was normal, we had weekly planning and
not much after that.
02/01/19, Friday: Today was good. We visited familia C and it
was good but they just live so far! out in the middle of no where. We visited a
couple people and more so members because we are trying to work with the
members more and strengthen them in the church. We visited Hna
M and it was good. Then we talked with the parents of President L. We
talked and she told us about her daughter going through surgery and hard things
and then she shared a scripture in Alma 31:38 I think and it is a really good
verse to give us hope and strength to do all things! She then told us something
that has always gone over my head but it hit me this time. She said "Estas
donde tienes que estar, no se desanime" (Be not discouraged). It was really
touching because she told us we get the doors slammed in our faces and rejected
but we are bringing blessings to our families while we are here. We may not
know the blessings but our families do know and it is great for us to serve especially
serving our Father in Heaven and our families.
02/02/19, Saturday: We went to Loberia to do a baptismal
interview and it was good. Then we came back and visited more people to
continue with teaching members
02/03/19, Sunday: We did not do much today, we had church and
then we went to make arroz con leche or rice with milk with a member and it was
good

02/05/19, Tuesday: We had a district meeting and it was good. I
made an apple pie for everyone and then my comp made some no bake cookies for
everyone. Everyone liked the apple pie and cookies! It was good but we did not do much.
02/06/19, Wednesday: We did not do much, found more Tetigos! For some reason there’s a ton of them
in Quequen.
02/07/19, Thursday: Today we had weekly planning and it went
well. A lot of our citas fell through. We visited A and her brother was there.
The mom wants him to serve a mission so we were trying to talk to him about
serving a mission and I can see he might want to but he is a little scared. We
will try to help him but he does not live there so it may be hard.
02/08/19, Friday: We did not do much but we worked hard. We
visited with the C family but they are just hard to find but we will keep
trying with them. It was not a long visit but it was good. We then tried to
visit other people and it is just funny and sad when you see the person you
talked to the day before and set up a cita with them and then you see them in
the backyard and you ask the parents or the neighbors that live in front and
they say they are not home. It is
sad that they need to lie to us but it is okay, it is normal.
02/09/19, Saturday: We got a call last night that we need to go
to Loberia to do a baptism because they do not have enough priesthood so we did
not do much in the morning because the collectivo (taxi) left at 12:30. We got there early and waited for a
little bit, we went to fill up the font and then my comp baptized the kid named
A. It was a great baptism and hopefully he stays active but he is really smart
and a really cool kid. We also got
transfers aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand me quedo (I stay)… jaja I am staying in Quequen
for another transfer!
02/10/19, Sunday: We had church and then we gave a blessing to
a lady that takes care of a special needs kid. It was my first blessing in Spanish
or Castellano ;) but before we went to the blessing, the family, friends of her
told us to not talk about the lessons and take it slow with her but we got
there and after the blessing, she kept dropping hints that she is not baptized.
Nothing impedes her from being baptized and she has been to the temple and she loved
it so I know she is ready. We wont
take it slow, we have the keys to do this and we will teach her. She is really
great! Then we went to a lesson with Hna Garcia. We are teaching this lady and
her family. Her name is C and she
talked to the missionaries when she was younger but she is really receptive!
She had a good lesson with us and she really loved it. It was great having
hermana Garcia with us, it was 100 times better and it just built my testimony
that working with members makes it so much better! She then told us her husband
wanted to be in the lesson because he had some questions for us so he sounds
really cool and hopefully we can work with him! Super excited with these new people we are teaching.
