Wow sounds like it was a week of miracles. I´m just so impressed on how our heavenly father really blesses us. Can´t say that i didn´t tell ya right? :) This week has been a nutty one.. I´m debating on whether to tell you a few things or not and i´m thinking i´ll wait till i get home so you don´t go calling Pres Lindahl demanding i go home because it´s too dangerous here or something haha. I´ll just leave it at... Mendoza has some very very dangerous areas. The leadership training was great, unbelievable to tell the truth. It´ll change missionary work all over the world. Truely inspired men are in charge of this work. We´re really just focusing more on people, and teaching people with the spirit. Helping them understand what it is to feel the spirit. Had a neat experience while i was in Mendoza, we were walking looking for an inactive members home. As we were walking we saw the house numbers and the missionary i was with E´Smith (who is an assistant to Pres) asked me which way i thought the house numbers went down and which way went up. I said one way and we continued walking, of course i was wrong and after i had realized i said ´´Elder Smith we gotta go the other way we´re going down not up.´´ He looked over to me and shrugged it off and said ´´ maybe were going this way for a reason.´´ We walked a bit further and i got a thought in my head that just said STOP. As i stoped E´Smith stopped right at the same time, the pricise moment, we looked to the home on our left and i said ´´This is why we came this way´´. He just said i know, and we knocked on the door. The 28 year old man opened the door behind his glasses he said, ´´hey come on in´´. We taught the most amazing lesson i´ve ever taught in my entire life. He told us his best friend had just passed away in Buenos Aires, who was going to be baptised this week. He said he had talked a lot over the phone about the things the missionarys were teaching him. Earlier in the month his wife also had just miscarried what would have been their first child. I promised him right there in that room that he would have that son, and that some day he would baptise him in the church of God. I´ve never been that bold before, the promise wasn´t from me.... it just came out. He smiled back at me, and said he couldn´t wait for that day. I´ll never forget that night or that lesson. Or the looks of their faces as we taught them using all of the new things we´d just learned earlier in the day. AMAZING! Today we just got back from Salentein, the most famous vineyard and wine factory in all of Argentina. It was incredible, the best news is.... I´ve got the stuff to send you some pictures! So enjoy! I´ll get working on it now but not without reminding you to thank our heavenly father for the blessings he has been pouring out over us. I love you so much! If your ever thinking about sending a package in the future i do have a few requests (another flashdrive of 4G´s, a new jazz shirt with their new colors, and pictures/videos from home like you did for christmas!) Love you!
