Letters from Argentina: Maipu Madness

Well here we are again, another week gone by. We had a great week here in Maipú B.

First off, a quick update of the investigators. We have 2 investigators with a baptismal date that came to church yesterday. They are two youth that were investigators of the other elders that we kind of robbed. But they are cool so hopefully they´ll get baptized like last month. We had some good success in finding new investigators this week. Right across the street there is an orphanage, we kind of went to it on accident. Well the owner of the place has been through quite a bit in his life and we taught him a good lesson and he came to church the next day! It was pretty cool.

Something funny that happened the other week to share:Elder Banks and I were looking for the church in our area to start talking to people (this was like our first day together). We found the church and knocked this random door right by it, and a woman answered, and, she´s going to get baptized in a couple weeks. We weren´t even in our own area (we didn´t know where we were) but we passed the reference and she´s pure gold, haha.

Today we did an asado in the house of an investigator of the other elders of Maipu. We had a ton of chicken and it was awesome. We played a little bit of soccer too.

This week we had zone conference. It was really good. We learned a lot about just talking to everyone about the gospel. That´s really worked for us lately in our area, cause you never know who is ready to recieve the gospel! So we´ve set some high goals to find more people to teach, and it´s worked.

My companion, Elder Banks, continues to be clutch. He´s super new but he´s already adjusted to everything and has been going well. But yeah.

I don´t really know what else to say. I can´t believe I´ve made it this far on my mission. It´s gone by extremely fast and I´ve gotten to the point where I gotta start running faster, cause the finish line is in sight. But not think about it too much, haha.

That´ll do it for this week. Have a good one.

Love,

Elder Anderson
