Letters from Argentina: Cool Week

This week was pretty awesome to say the least. I never know how to start these letters so let´s just dive in.

First of all, we found a family called the Familia Vega. They were a reference from a member in a different stake. Well let me just tell you that they are really prepared to hear the gospel. I´ve never been able to find a family like this before. They are really accepting of the gospel, and Elder Banks and I are really excited to teach them. They weren´t able to come to church yesterday because the mother got sick, but they called us to let us know. We have high hopes for them, so we´re crossing our fingers! (hopefully by the next letter they haven´t dropped us haha.)

Other than that we were able to find a dude that plays for the Maipu soccer team (he´s got some serious swag). We taught him and his family the restoration and he´s pretty cool.

Carlos is doing good. He consistently comes to church and we gave him the word of wisdom lesson. He needs to stop smoking and also needs to gain more of a testimony of the spirit, he told us as soon as we leave he´s gonna stop going to church so there´s some work to do there haha.

On Saturday we went to the baptism of Graciela, the convert of the other Elders in Maipu. That was the woman that Elder Banks and I knocked her door our first day in Maipu because we didn´t know the limits of the area. Wow haha. In fact, it was the FIRST DOOR we knocked that day. Crazy.

Yesterday we had this stake meeting in Maipu about missionary work with members with none other than Hermano Luis Wajchman!! He´s the man that delivered my package in San Rafael almost a year ago. It was a great meeting and we´re excited to be able to work more with members here in our area. Hno. Wajchman is such a great man. He has a very strong testimony of the gospel and I wish I could go to one of his institute classes here in Mendoza.

Yesterday we got transfers, Elder Banks and I are staying here in Maipu B. But they washed Maipu A, and Elder Keyes (an old friend in the mish) is coming to train there. Sweet. This week we also had a zone meeting, and I got My Plan, which a packet that you have to fill our for your last 6 weeks. Scary stuff haha.

Today for p day we are gonna go play some tennis or raquetball at this place right by our pench, should be pretty awesome.

That´ll do it for this week!!! Have a good one and remember that the church is true!!!!!

Love,

Elder Anderson
