Familia,
Well,
the big news of the week is that I got transferred again! I’m back in the San
Luis Providence but I’m in the capital city instead of Villa Mercedes, where I
was just a few month ago. So, it’s nice to be back in a familiar place. My new companion is Elder Hobbs, from Idaho.
He’s a chill homie and he just finished his training so he’s full of energy and
has a lot of excitement for the work.
The Providence of San Luis is basically right in the middle of Argentina
and it’s very lush and green. The
weather there is much cooler than in San Juan, so it should be a great place to
serve during the summer months. This will definitely be a dope transfer! |

Elder
Vega and I had an awesome last week together.
We were able to get back in contact with the Agüero Family. Martin, had been working 8am-8pm so he didn’t
have much time for us, but we were able to track him down this week. We had an
awesome lesson with the family, during which we talked about the temple and eternal
families. The mother lost a child, when she was with another man, so when we
explained about the temple and eternal families, they became very interested
and their eyes opened up because it was the first time they had learned about
ordinances for the dead. During the lesson, the Spirit was very present and it
testified of our words.
This
week we also worked a lot with Lantaro and our lessons with him and his family are
always a good time. For a 10-year old, Lantaro knows a ton! He loves to read and participate in the lessons. When we teach him, I always think about the
scripture, Moroni 8:10, that says we should humble ourselves like little children
and be saved. On Sunday, it was such a
good experience to see him with all of the primary kids in the chapel!
Yesterday,
my first day here in the area, we were in a member’s house, enjoying a Family Home
Evening lesson with them and right as we were about to leave, a huge storm hit
us. So, we had to run back to our pench,
avoiding puddles as we went. It felt a
lot like a football conditioning drill and the rain was so refreshing!
To
be honest, I was a little bummed to leave Villa Krause with Elder Vega because of
all the work we had going. But, I’m pumped to be back in San Luis. San Luis is the prettiest part of the mission
and the best place to spend the summer!
Peace out,
Elder Roderick
Behold
I say unto you that this thing shall ye teach—repentance and
baptism
unto those who are accountable and capable of committing sin;
yea,
teach parents that they must repent and be baptized, and humble themselves
as their little children, and they shall
all be saved with their little children.
Moroni 8:10
Farewell to many friends in Villa Krause
