Hi mom. I just wanted to tell you first of all that I love you. We go out and we teach, and we bring the spirit, and we work, and we work and put in our 110% but when it comes down to it the investigator has to choose to read the book of mormon, to pray about it, to come to church, and to eventually be baptised. As missionaries we can have solice in knowing that we put in everything we have and we give that person the very best chance to succeed in making that decision to join the church. But in the end, a lot, almost half don´t do their part. It´s hard for me, IT HURTS, I pray and ask why they don´t make it when I´m doing everything i can to help them. Thats when the Lord humbles me, and reminds me that every person who is on this earth has their own agency. Their decision to choose immortality and eternal life, or to die in their carnal nature. And it´s the same in every faucet of life. Just a short catch up on me.. I¨m going to be leaving Valle de Uco wednesday to go to a different state! I´m going to the city of San Juan up north to an area called Los Pinos (or ´The Pines´). So that´s my new assignment, i´m excited. I´ll be in a zone with a lot of old friends. Elder Frischknecht is actually the zone leader there, so i´ll be back with him. Also i´ll be in the district of an elder that just left my zone, a great kid named Elder George. Should be really fun, i´m looking forward to it. You´ll have to read up on the net about San Juan, it´s a really really hot area. Summers get upwards twoard 120 degrees. I´m kind of sad to leave Cordon because we are supposed to baptise 2 that i won´t get to see. But thats ok, the importance is not me but of those two awesome people we found. I love you mom. Just know that, I´m praying daily, know that. I know the Lord works in mysterious ways, but it´s to strengthen us.
Me and two Elders in Mendoza, we stayed over night for our meetings there. The pench there is known as the worst in the mission. It´s been named ´The Black Pearl´ after the pirate ship on Pirates of the Carribean. They made costumes to go with their pench. Us missionaries are creative :) These two elders are from Chile and Panama, respectively
Me and the Japaz family. We took this picture last night, their a great member family that always gives us lunch on sunday!
Baptism of Johanna Pintos. An investigator we have worked with for a long long time, we got he husband re activated and she picked up the book of mormon and started reading. Needless to say before she finished she asked that we teach her, and he she is in white. She´s only 19 years old, crazy right?!
Me and my companion Elder Mitchell
