It has been a cool week. [...] is doing pretty well, but has
been so swamped with work that he
hasn´t been having time to read the BOM and felt kind of
bad. So we figured out he takes the bus everyday to work for 45 minutes, and
got him the lds application so he can use that time to read or listen to the
BOM. He seemed really excited because he likes learning, and hopefully this
will help him read more and receive and answer about the message of the Gospel.

We also had a super great day in Cardona on Friday. It was
crazy because last week Juan told us that we should visit someone named
[...] was was baptized last year, but he forgot to send us his number to see
where he lives and to set up a lesson. Well when we went on Friday, we started
to contact, and the very first door of the day we clapped, some tall kid
named [...] came out haha. Yeah, funny it was him. He was getting ready
for work when we found him, so we set up a lesson for this week instead. We
also found a few other people that day who had met with the last missionaries
there before the area was closed, so that was pretty awesome, and we should be
busy next week when we go.
That afternoon, we went to [...]. When she opened
the door, she nearly bear hugged me, but quickly thought about it and shook our
hands haha. Apparently she was getting ready to leave to go and sign for her
release papers. She was previously on parole when we found her due to some
incident at work and hadn´t been able to leave her house for some few weeks,
but she is honestly super awesome! Apparently since last week, she read the
entire Liahona magazine that Elder Vergara had left her with, the restoration/
plan of salvation pamphlets again, and a lot of the Book or Mormon! She said she
had all the time in the world since she was just in the house haha. She
excitedly told us she would be able to come to church now, so we are excited to
continue teaching her!

Sunday was great as well. We had a conferencia de rama, in which the district presidency and leaders came over to Rosario, as well as the group in Cardona, since they officially pertain to our branch. There were also three less active members here who came :) That afternoon, we found a super awesome family too. [...], who was actually a reference from our investigator [...], and her two sons [...] and [...], who are just a couple of years older than us. They are all really cool. [...] has apparently had a ton of trials in her life and had a mountain of questions for us, and it was great! Afterwards, she told us that she wanted to have us over for an Asado haha! The three of them seemed pretty committed to reading the BOM as well, and praying concerning it.
We went to a baptism in Nueva Helvecia on Saturday. It was
for a 14 year old girl who is sooooo prepared. She already has a
really strong testimony of the church, and the whole program that the Elder´s
there planned was really amazing. I felt the Spirit strongly. I know that this
is the work of the Lord.
I am very grateful for President Monson who turns 90 today!!
I have no doubt that he is an inspired prophet of God, and that he has the
authority to recieve revelation for us as a whole, for our benefit and
protection in this world. I am so grateful to have these wonderful truths in my
life!! Love you all. Have a wonderful week!
