Queridos Amigos,
What an amazing week!
Monday we arrived at Cañuelas and unpacked our suitcases
like normal.
Tuesday we had district meeting and I got to see Hermana
Chappell! It was her last district meeting in the mission, so she shared her
testimony at the end.
Wednesday was crazy! Cañuelas is in the middle of nowhere,
and the next day we had a leadership meeting in Banfield, so we packed an
overnight bag to go and sleep in Banfield. Hermana Chappell had tour the next
day, so she traveled with us and we were in trio for a day. The best surprise
is that Hermana Medford also had tour and stayed the night with us in Banfield.
They are such great sisters and were amazing companions. I can't believe that
today they'll be getting on a plane headed home. Time passes by so quickly!
Thursday we had the leadership meeting and then traveled
back to Cañuelas.
Friday the sisters had weekly planning and then we went to
work! We found 3 new investigators that are amazing! They all have different
problems, but believe in Christ. It's amazing to see faith in others.
Saturday was amazing!!! We worked so hard and had a blast
sharing the joy of the gospel with every person we met.
Sunday was amazing! Graciela from San Vicente showed up to
surprise Hermana Chappell for her last Sunday in Argentina. They both hugged
and cried. It was a really sweet experience. But, the sweetest part was to see
Graciela's son Nahuel passing the sacrament. He has a little less than a year
as a member and has changed so much. He's such a smart young man and very
thoughtful. Hermana Chappell was the missionary who taught that family and invited
them to be baptized.
My very first lesson in San Vicente was with them. They've
changed my life and taught me so much. That's what I love about the mission. We
come to serve others and love them, but in the end we receive service and love
from others. Every action comes full circle. God's plan is perfect and Christ's
grace is sufficient for all that humble themselves and come unto Him.
I hope that you all have an amazing week!
con amor,
Hermana Chaffin
