¡FAMILIA!
This was a really good week. There's nothing like kneeling
down Sunday night (the end of the proselyting week), and feeling like you've
worked hard, that things are starting to get better, and recieve revelation for
things that you can improve. Virreyes 3 is progressing, and I'm so proud of it.
*Gently wipes away tear.*
Elder Ortega is still as studly as ever, and is teaching me
something new everyday. I really admire his desire to talk to everyone. We're
not a tracting mission, and it's drilled into our heads that we should work
through the members, but he doesn't let that become an excuse for not talking
to the people that the Lord puts into our path each day.
The bad news is, Satan is trying to kill our investigators.
María (who I found out is a great-great-grandmother!!) was deathly ill a few
weeks ago, but after giving her a blessing while she was recovering, she told
us that she had never felt so calm. She fell and hurt her knee. But, bless her
heart, when she got back up, she bravely told us that she wasn't going to miss
Church for anything. If everything goes well, she should be baptized this
Sunday.
Another investigator that came to Church suddenly started
having some kind of convulsions in the middle of the meeting. A few members
starting treating her for shock, while we called the Ambulance. Freaking
Argentine Paramedics take FOREVER. Emergency services didn't even answer us the
first few times we called. We called over one Ambulance that drove by and told
them the situation, but they told us that they "don't do that kind of
work". By the time the Ambulance finally came, the First Counselor had
everything under control, and Alissia was conscious, and seated by the open
window and doing much better. It was all pretty dramatic, but it was quite the
fellowshipping activity. Now everyone knows her. :)
Thanks for all that you guys are doing. I love you so much.
Thanks for your prayers too. I'm seeing miracles here, and I'm so grateful for
a ward that is so focused on Missionary Work. I testify that there is something
for all of us to do, and that the Lord's Work only works if misisonaries and
members are working together. Have a great week.
¡Hurra por Israel!

P.S. The camera's still in a coma, but here's some pictures
I took from other people's cameras.
1380- Elder Ortega and I in Tigre before playing soccer. A
little kid wearing the same shirt as me yelled super excited, pointing to me
"Mom! He's a fan of San Lorenzo!" and gave me a high five.
1370- The Virreyes chapel. This is HUGE for chapel standards
down here.
