Queridos amigos,
What a crazy week!
Tuesday we had zone conference with 4 other zones and
afterwards we played soccer. My team won! We ended up having a blast and I got
to see Hermana Johnson. It was a great reunion!
Wednesday we had exchanges planned. I ended up going to
Ezeiza around 5pm, when my companion, Hermana Santos, called me saying that all
of Argentina was going on strike the next day and that we wouldn´t be able to
end exchanges until Friday. So, we taught a lesson and then took the train back
to Monte Grande so that I could be back in my area.
Thursday everyone did go on strike. Not a single bus or
train was running. All the stores were closed and nobody was outside. It was
crazy. But, when Friday rolled around, everything was back to normal. I´m not
so sure that the strike was super effective but.....
This week a woman walked into the church wanting to baptize
her baby. A member told her that we don´t baptized babies and then told her
that the missionaries could explain why. So, the member gave us the info from
the woman and we went to visit her. Her name is Yaquelin and is amazing! She
has 6 children and is super sweet. We taught her about the Restoration and
baptism. We read Moroni 8 together and after reading she said, "wow, so I
was wrong. My baby doesn´t need baptism, but I do." It was incredible! She
accepted to be baptized and we will visit her later this week. The work is
great here!
I´m so grateful for the opportunity that I have to get to
know a few of God´s children. Each one is unique and important. That includes
you. Yes you! You reading this. You are important! Don´t forget that.
I love you all! Have a fantastic week and a wonderful
Easter! Remember why we celebrate this holiday. Please take 4 minutes of your
day to watch the following video:
