¡Hola!
First off, “Happy Thanksgiving” to my family and loved
ones. Sadly, Argentina doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving so I’ll have to celebrate
by finding a chicken asado for myself. Even so, I feel so grateful during this
time of year for all of the loved ones I have who are cheering me on from back
at home. I’m also grateful for my ARG
family and all they’ve done to help make the last fifteen months so unforgettable.
Again, the past week was super busy for us. We gave a ton of lessons and met new people
to teach, which was exciting. The best part of the week was Saturday. Our
entire Stake went to a town called, Zanjita, to help with a service project. As
part of the service work, the missionaries took the youth to go proselyting in
the streets. Zanjita has a population of only 100 people so we were able to
talk with nearly everyone in the town and pass out a lot of information pamphlets.
There aren’t any members in this little town so it was fun to preach some new
ideas to the people. The coolest part of
our work was watching the youth preach the Gospel and share their beliefs. When
we approached someone, the missionaries would present ourselves and set up the
conversation. Then, the youth would take
it away and share the good word! It was
so cool to see all of the work we accomplished during the day. The Stake
donated a ton of clothes and food and painted a huge house. Our work reminded
me of Mosiah 2:17:
“And behold, I tell you these things that ye
may learn wisdom; that ye
may learn that when ye are in the service
of your fellow beings ye are
only in the service of your God.”
While knocking on doors this week
we found some people from Ecuador who are in Argentina to study. They were so excited to see other foreigners,
so they immediately let us in to chat about life in Argentina.
