Lotsa ppple.

This week was... once again a lotta contacting. But I did meet some pretty interesting people:

Jose is this really old guy that likes to talk. He also doesn't have the best of memory... he told us his whole life story about ten times.. he was in the army and one time he fell off the ship, then he was a waiter in some swanky  hotel in Chile-where he consequently met the president of Chile-hes got pictures to prove it. Then his wife died of cancer, he hasn't really let us teach him anything because he talks so much.. We passed by his house on Sunday morning and he thought we were Jehovah's witnesses..

Tamara has a huge, crazy family, they always play music super loud and would yell random things at us, so we decided to go talk to them. Turns out  they aren't as crazy as I thought, we had a really good couple of lessons with them this week and though they didn't accept the invitation to be baptized they are reading the Book of Mormon.. The only problem is their dad, apparently he hates everything religious and is drunk all the time and yells at them. That's why they only let us in on weekdays when he isn't there.. it'll be hard to get him to be more cooperative...

Paulo is a carpenter, we met him a couple of days ago but he just went on a trip to do some carpentering stuff, hes really friendly and said we could come by whenever, he always smells like wood, in a good way..

Marcos is the bishops daughters boyfriend, they have a kid, but they don't live together, we met him at his house contacting, and that's when we found out he knows bishop and all that. He comes over to the bishops house to take care of his son, he is really interested in knowing more, we set a baptismal date for the 21 of June as a goal-he wanted like two years or so-his only problem is that his family are firm Catholics, so he needs to talk to them but other than that he want to marry the bishops daughter in the temple so then can live together forever! So we're working on that goal! He kinda looks Asian-ish and his son is really cute and chubby.

That is just the tip of the iceberg. I talked to 143 people this week. Some snakes, some that were interested, some that wanted nothing to do with us. That's more people than I have met in probably the past year when I was home. Its pretty crazy.

Anyways, such is the life, I love yalls keep on keepin on!

River Won:(

Yesterday was pretty crazy, we were at the top of this hill and the whole city exploded.. with fireworks. It was pretty cool. Turns out River-River Plate is an Argentine soccor team-won the national championship thing. Boca-my team- didn't even make it to the finals. Which was sad. Really the only reason I like Boca is because their jerseys are sick and imma buy a bunch of them for all yalls before I leave. Their colors are blue and gold. Its awesome.

Anywaysies, this week was just a lot of contacting, we contact around twenty people a day, its pretty fun to meet a ton of new people especially since I can actually talk to them. It was a lot tougher my first transfer, but now it just comes naturally.

We met this guy named Rogilio and he is amazing! He studies the bible a ton, so he knows what the true church should have. We talked about being founded on prophets and apostles and he quoted Ephesians four and then he was talking about how baptism should be by immersion! He also said that baptism represents the death and Resurrection of Christ, which I didn't even know was in the bible(I found it in Romans when I studied later). He is pretty amazing.

Then the other day we found Rosa who was worried about one of her children that had died, we testified that we knew that we can live forever with our families, that's the beauty of the gosel, so we challenged her to be baptized on the 21st and she accepted. The problem is, we can only meet her on Sunday, since she works the whole week.

So yeah, that's a week in the life. I wrote in my journal every day this week so now I remember the highlights. Also, I started this thing where I take at least one picture a day. So by the end of the mish Ill have one and a half years of one photo a day. Its pretty fun to think of interestin new ideas for pics.

I love all ya guys!

Because of Him...

Well, since I'm going to be talking to you guys on sunday, I'll just share a short message with you guys.. Last week was Easter, I didn't get anything, specifically I didn't get cadbury mini's. But thats okay, I bought myself a little chocolate egg that was really spendy and cried myself to sleep.

Okay, thats not true, but I do want cadbury minis.

What I actually wanted to talk about was what easter really means, over here its called the Pascua, so you can see the reference to the savior a little more clearly with what they call it over here. Even though I'm a little late theres always time to think about what he did for us during those three days. I've been thinking a lot lately about what the sacrifice of the savior means in my life and when I really think about it, it means everything to me. Thats why I'm here, to share with the people of Argentina what I know. That Jesus Christ suffered for our sins and because of that we all can be saved. We all can live with our families forever and anything wrong we've done in our lives can be made up by his atonement or sacrifice for us. I just feel like thats something we should all be thinking about a little more in our lives. 

Also, I just saw this video in a zone conference, and though you might have already seen it, I'd invite ya'lls to watch it and share it, because its really really good and it made me think about how much the Savior has done for me.
