I attached a picture of one of the hilarious old men in our branch who sang like old folksy songs with his guitar at our talent show last week. Also, some cool graffiti, it says, "Malargue, a kingdom untouchable and unforgettable."
This week was great! We had a lot of great lessons, and more of them with members, which is so awesome. We have this one investigator in particular that I'm really excited because she told us right off the bat that she wanted to have the Holy Ghost with her but she didn't know how! And my companion and I were both freaking out inside because it was a perfect way to talk about baptism and she comitted to baptism but not a date. She is really awesome, so I am really excited to keep working with her and helping her receive the Holy Ghost that she wants so badly to have!
We had intercambios this week again, and that was so nice, because the Lord always blesses us and we see miracles during exchanges. And I also always learn a ton from the example of the other missionaries. And then at the end of the day, we made tacos! complete with avocado, homemade tortillas, and the spiciest sauce that we could find here (which is like mild taco sauce at Taco Bell haha) So delicious, because the food sometimes in Argentina gets a little boring.
It's still pretty hot here, I feel like we are on the edge of the breaking point of the fever, almost done with summer but not quite. School for the kids starts in about two weeks, so I wonder what kind of effect that will have on our work. I cannot believe that we are already halfway through another transfer, my training is almost over! I hope I don't leave Hermana King because she is literally the best thing ever, but like Nephi says, "Iré y haré" whatever the Lord commands.
This week I have been studying a lot about the doctrine of conversion, what it means to be converted, what do you need to feel to be converted and so forth. What I thought was interesting is that it says in the Bible Dictionary that Complete conversion doesn't come until after many trials and testing. And I just think that means that we continually are "trying" our faith by doing the little things every day, reading, praying, going to church, becoming like Christ, and as we do those things, we will keep converting ourselves bit by bit unto the Lord everyday.
Well family and friends, I love you all. Keep strong in the faith. Keep me updated. Have a super week!
Love,
Hermana Pyper
