| $10 Cheeseburger and $5 Fries with Elder Balvin |
Hey first off thank you so much for your prayers because my scriptures were returned to me this Sunday!!! I feel SO much better now that i have my own scriptures to teach and study! I don't have much time again because yes mom Elder Balvin and I went to Parke de Loguir and Moron this Pday to visit his converts! He is a stud and definitely left his mark here in Argentina! The day he leaves for Peru is the 20th of Junio and so we have 2 more weeks to work together! I don't look forward to the day he leaves and he hasn't shown much emotion either he is a hard worker and will work till the second he steps foot on the plane! What an Example for me...
I went to Capital this week to do my passport for Argentina and it was GIGANTIC!!! SO MANY PEOPLE!!!!! And it was a whole day process with alot of waiting time to do some contacts and small lessons!!! the best part was WE ATE AT MCDONALDS!!!!! I sat there eating my 10 dollar cheeseburger and 5 dollar fries thinking of the hundreds of times i sat with my friends laughing and having a good time and now we are all over the world teaching the most important message in the world!!! I pray that they are living their sacred missions and will allow this experience to change their lives... What a day when we will sit at McDonald's again and share the life changing experiences in the Dominican, Peru, Philippines, Argentina, Mexico, Australia, and Korea!!! Oh by the way i have the address of Elder Richins, Elder Huntsman and Elder Jolley but only i need Elder Bono, Elder Hawker, and Elder Higham! It was great to get the Email from Elder Richins and hear he is doing so good! I wrote him and Elder Huntsman letters i sure hope they get them!!! It was interesting to read that they wait 3 lessons to invite to be baptized!!! We have been taught to EVERYONE TO BE BAPTISED!!!! In every contact, short lesson, and lesson!!!
It was great to hear your stories this week... Mom sounds like it was a success your retreat and that doesn't surprise me cause you worked so hard on it!!! Dad keep up the work on the food i need to follow your example or I'm going to come back a gordito! Tate keep working hard to build up your spiritual muscles! it is just like your legs or arm muscles... if you don't use them or exercise them or push them to their limits they aren't going to grow... in fact they will die!!! How do we do this you might ask... We always tell our investigators they have to read the scriptures and pray after to allow the holy ghost to testify to us that the things are true! I am so thankful for the work of the holy ghost to help us know these things and bring us peace! I'm glad your going through the trials you are because just like in the sports world... No pain No gain... Like the sons of Mosiah if we are patient and go through our trials with a smile it will be for our own good and we will have success!! Mccray sounds like your enjoying life and keeping it real clean and sexy! Shad is just my little stud and Delanie I'm sure is spoiled and loving it!!!
Words cant describe the feelings i want to share but after 6 weeks of wrestling head on with Satan in the life of Grover Mamoni he was baptised this weekend and it was def. one of my favorite Baptisms we have had yet... We also Baptised a family of 3 kids Ezekiel, Ludmilla and Shanea Tastaca! The other elders in Rodriguez Baptized a Dad with his 2 girls as well and it was an amazing service! 7 Baptisms and a whole lot of people in white!!! And i have no idea why but all the members came and so we had 80 people in 1 servicio bautismal! I Love the Argentine people... I don't even think i want to live in the United States...
Elder Balvin and I have been praying every morning and night to find a family to baptise before he goes home and we found the answer to our prayers! We were in the middle of nowhere looking for a reference and we found a little poor family from Paraguay and they have 9 kids! We had some fun lessons with kids and Sunday brought them brownies and pancakes and 6 of them came to church with us! We stopped by later that night and had a fun spiritual lesson with them and now 5 of them have baptismal dates for the 18th the last Saturday before Elder Balvin goes home... As well as Javier and Lucia 2 other kids from Bolivia who are progressing as well! We are working with Marilin and Ariel that they can as well be baptized this day! This work is amazing and we are witnessing a miracle here in Rodriguez... In my 3 months here the assistance has shot from 70 to 150 and will soon be a ward! I feel so blessed to be apart of this and I know all the blessing only come from 100 percent obedience with exactness!!!!
Mom i thought of a few things you could add into those packages if you could please... i would really like my line of authority to show the people that we have a direct line from Jesus Christ.. I don't think we realize the power that we have!!! Also I realized that from all the orange soda my teeth are not as white anymore and they don't sell good toothpaste here.. so some crest toothpaste and some whitening strips would be amazing but if not don't worry about it I can worry about that when i get home!!!!
All in all it was another Amazing week in the Sacred mission of Elder Foster and Elder Balvin.
