We had another good week here in Sucre. It seemed like everyone had a little bit of a
Holiday Hangover because the streets were a little more vacant than usual. Even so, we had a fun week. We had a blast
during the holidays, but it was nice to settle down and have a full week of
work.
Right now, we are working a lot with Matias and Dalma to
prepare them for their baptism which is next Saturday. I truly think they might be the best
investigators I’ve ever had. They just
love our lessons and can’t seem to get enough information from us. They are both so smart so, it’s very easy to
teach them because they understand literally everything we teach and we can go deep
into every principle of the gospel. It’s truly a miracle that the Lord put them
in our path because they are so prepared and they are progressing so quickly. On Tuesday we got a text from them asking us
if we have Argentine identification cards, which was a confusing question. So, I called them and they explained that
they have plans to get married next Friday and they want us to be the
witnesses! I just added another thing to
check off my Bucket List. LOL!
I went on an exchange with one of my good homies, Elder
Cerque, from Guatemala. We’ve been in the same district or zone three times, so
he’s like the companion I never had.
LOL! We had a good time together and he only has a few months left in
his mission, so it was nice to learn from one of the veterans here in the
field. Something crazy always happens during exchanges and this time, while we
were teaching one of our investigators who is a 65- year old woman, we were
just beginning our discussion with her and asking her how she was doing and out
of nowhere she kind of blew up on us.
She had some bad things happen during the holidays and I think she was
just waiting for us so she could unload.
We were so confused because this dear woman had always been so nice and
receptive and then out of nowhere she just blew up. It was a crazy experience!
We were so sad to hear about the Prophet. He was legend! Receiving news like that in the mission field is kind of weird and hard to believe because we’re so removed from the world. I’m sure going to miss that man! I will never forget that his last words to us included his council to read the Book of Mormon and his testimony of the importance of it. He left us with a principle that is so simple, yet it can help us every day!
Con Amor,
Elder Roderick
