General Conference

This past week went by really fast, it was solid!

First off, our main investigator, Carlos, came to the last session of general conference yesterday. And since he speaks english, he watched it in the Gringo Room with us. The talk by Elder Costa really helped him we think, about getting baptized and doing what the missionaries say! His only problem is that he needs to stop smoking, which he said is going to be hard for him, but anything can happen.

Friday we had a ward activity and we spent like the entire day getting ready for it but none of our investigators came so we kinda wasted the day. On saturday we wanted to bounce back but we had district meeting and 3 sessions of general conference. But we worked between sessions and we were able to contact and teach a reference, and then teach another new investigator the restoration! It was weird cause I´ve never taught a lesson with a suit on but we did it. The reference is named Griselda, the friend of a member in Godoy Cruz but she seems super open, so hopefully we can baptize her!

We also did service at a member´s neighbor´s house. We cut a bunch of grapes that were out of reach for him. That was fun. And then it rained like all day that day. It´s actually been pretty rainy over the past week.

We also started teaching a Jehova´s Witness this week, that was fun. We knocked his door and he said ´Come back on Thursday´ so we did just that and we started ´teaching´. He had his bible and started showing us all these scriptures and stuff, it was fun. Based on what he told us he was bascially the equivalent of a High Priest for us. But he agreed to talk about the Book of Mormon next time we visit him.

Yesterday I got pretty sick, I don´t really know what happened to me, but today I am feeling better. And as I am writing this Carlos called to see if I was better. What a guy hahah.

And General Conference altogether was pretty awesome. I enjoyed a lot of the talks. I really liked Elder Oaks´s talk about the Godhead, some good stuff there. I also really liked Elder Renlund´s talk about the Shepherd and his Sheep. That was really good.

I think that´ll do it for this week. Have a good one!

love,
