The good news is that I had a great New Years with other missionaries (different ones from Christmas) and on Sunday a member family surprised us by taking us to their house for lunch where we ate and chatted.
The bad news is that as I was plugging in my card to send pictures the computer once again wiped my memory :(.
Thankfully, my companion takes all the pictures that I take, so she can send them to me to send to you guys :D.
Last Monday was great. We finally remade our map that we have of our area that was ugly and confusing, so now it makes sense and looks super cute.
The Reeses didn´t turn out like a reeses but it tasted amazing! :D There´s now an elder from Sweden in our zone, and he said that he´d make something from Sweden and give me the recipe. Yeah!
Tuesday was full of miracles!! 1-- we went ot find a reference from a member, and contacted her father in law, who gave us her address and we gave him a card!
2--We talked with the reference
2.5-- We contacted a lot of other references we received and have appointments for this week.
3--My companion had lost her scriptures, but we found them again in the house of a member
4--My companion got new scriptures... A Spanish Quad!!
5--A member took our dirty clothes to clean them
6--We found a less active that we don´t usually find
7--Another less active went to the mutual activity!
8--A member that hasn´t attended church for a while was in her house, let us in, and told us what was happening. We were able to talk to her, and she and her whole family came to the church yesterday!!!
It was amazing.
Wednesday we had our first district meeting in our news zones (they were all divided, so now our mission has 12 instead of 6). It was fun, and after that we had lunch and visited Mimi. She invited us to a birthday party for Leonardo this Friday and asked us to play violin and sing. :S. So then we went to a member´s house and they helped us find songs to play for the party. :)
Luciano is a young man in our ward who accompanies us in a lot of our visits. He went with us in our lesson with Maria in Thursday and helped us by sharing scriptures and bearing testimony. If you ever get the chance to go with the missionaries for a visit, take it! Even if you only do it once, for 10 minutes it´s worth it and it´s such a strength for the missionaries and the investigator. He also made some contacts that were fun-- he´s preparing well for his mission in a few years.
Friday we were able to talk with the reference we contacted on Tuesday. She has a lot of problems, but accepted a Book of Mormon and said she´s read it and pray. We´re going to call her to set up another appointment.
This weekend we received lunch and dinner from a member and ICE CREAM!! It was 41 degrees cel. in Saturday, and then it rained Sunday morning. One thing that is certain about Argentina is if it´s going to rain during the week it will do it Sunday morning. Without fail, throughout my entire mission up to this point.
It´s been an amazing week, and I´m so excited for this upcoming week.
I know that this is the work of the Lord and that the Spirit guides it.
Have a great week! Enjoy the snow!
Love you all!
