oh boy, this week hasn´t been too spectacular. my companion has one week left on the mission! you can imagaine how crazy things get on the last week! my brithday is tomorrow, but i don´t know if i will do anything (: you know me...birthday parties? mmm....no tanto. so we will mission it up like normal and i will celebrate when i get your birthday boxes in the mail! yay! so excited but i have to put my patience in practice because i live so far away from the offices, the mail man doesn´t run up to san juan too often, you know? but that´s ok (: more suspense...or soemthing like that. thanks for all the birthday wishes. i hope i act like a twenty year old...if not, well i am sorry (:
this week hasn´t been anything special, but i will let you in on a sweet lesson we had this week!
we found this cute little familye...ofelisa, eduardo, and their daugher caterina. we found them because i was talking to lady on the bus and she told us to pass by. anyways, they were doing what a lot of argentines do...drink tea, when we artrived. they were getting to know us and we were getting to know them and all the sudden they asked us...why are there so many churches?...(BOOM! perfect perfect question that just makes a perfect invatation for the restoration. being the smart people we are we started to explain and my comp and i started to relate the apostasy to the argentine soccer team. jesus christ was the coach and james was messi and paul was tevez and etc. without the football team, we would never have a team right? it´s the same with jesus christ. it was neccesary for argentina to "call" another coach..or prophet...and that´s where joseph smith comes in. haha, it was a way sweet analogy and it honestly feel like it made more sense to them because of the analogy. it was a great lesson and it definitly fulfulled their doubts. they didn´t come to church but i pray that they can make some progress. cute family in a cute house. i hope we can see more progress with them. they say they are catholic and actually the daughter is studying right now to be confirmed in her catholic church. not really sure, what she has to study and everything...but that poses wuite the challenge right? pray for them if you can. with my comps crazy schedule for this week, we might not have time to pass by too many people. i hope so though!
all our lunches are falling through! ug. sometimes the members are too afraid to tell us no for lunch, so they just don´t answer the door. i guess the economy is tough here in san juan...but i have atleast learned to increase my cooking skills (: thats a plus. i think, mom, you would be proud of me.
looks liek dallans plans for being a married man are coming along! i am so excited to hear about the wedding colors, and to recieve an invitation in the mail! crazy!
i just got done with 10 months and now completing 20 in life. time is going by fast, but it´s getting to be funner as i go.
i hope you all had fun on your SLC trip and that you didn´t get too tired...lol. thanks for the birthday wishes and everything! i love you all!
love,
elder valle
