A Sign that the church is true, and General Conference Weekend was great!

So, this week I worked with Elder Kersey and Elder Tafur in Italia Sur, until Thursday. It was fun to serve in the Italia Sur area of Formosa. That area is pretty easy to work in. I had a great time there.

So, a few funny things that happened this week: A Pentacostal church lady told us about her religion and she gave us these booklets that show all of the rules you have to follow to be a member. It is crazy how strict it was!  I also, contacted a house that had the church’s sign  “La Inglesia De JesuChristo De Los Santos De Los Ultimos Dias” (or in English, “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), hung on it Haha! They are now investigators!

If they only knew when they put that sign up what they were getting into! Haha! The guy who lives there says he had found it in the trash! Haha!

So yeah, Elder Smith’s paperwork is finally done. I feel bad for him because he hasn`t had much time to work in our area because of needing to get it all done. I am doing my best as his trainer, but it is hard since we haven’t had much time to work together.  

So, my mom asked me in her letter, which area of the mission was the favorite choice of the other missionaries serving in my mission and I told her that Clorinda is one of the best places to get sent to, in the mission, but that the Ibarreta zone is the one everyone likes the best.

This week, it wasn`t too hot here, but it rained on Sunday like crazy! Haha! We took some pictures and a couple of videos of it!

General Conference this weekend was so good. Pretty crazy, that there is going to be two-hour church in January, and that there is another temple that is going to be built here in Mendoza! I think the change to two hours will be good we can focus more on learning about Christ in our own homes. It is cool that Argentina will now have 4 temples. I liked the talk given by Dallin H. Oaks, because he said it like it was! He stated so clearly our beliefs. All the talks were really good. The talk given by Elder Rasband “Be Ye Not Troubled” was good also.

I think that E. will be getting baptized on the 20^th, so that is good!  She is doing well and is getting ready for her baptism. Elder Smith is doing well also in his training. This week we didn`t have much luck with the investigators because of time, maybe next week will be better. So as far as transfers go I will be staying here in Clorinda for 6 more weeks.

Also there was one day this week that I didn`t know whether I should go to C.’s or to E.’s house first. So I said a prayer, and I felt that we needed to go to see E. first, when we got there, she only had like 5 minutes because she was getting ready to leave. I ‘m glad that I felt the spirit to go there, it was the only chance that we had to invite her out to General Conference.  

I love and miss you all!
