Dear Mom and Dad;
Well sounds like a pretty interesting little week. Pretty good I think. So, about mothers day, I am planning on skyping. We are going to try to use the computer in the church, if that doesn't work I will end up calling. But just be home from 4:00 my time on cause Elder Wagner's family might be a bit more complicated and I may or may not get transfered and leave to a new area that night so could be a crazy day, ha ha.
Whew! If Dad takes the job in Tennessee that will make things kinda crazy huh? Guess if God want you to move there its for the better. You would FOR sure have some opportunities to share the gospel there. But I would think about that one till it actually happens, ha ha, just let me know what you do, or I might come home to the wrong place. And let me tell you, THAT would be fun, nobody waiting at the airport. Just like the movie the RM.
So, anyway let me relate the things that occurred this last week.
Monday, we actually found a new investigator. Mabel, she is a nice lady with like 50 years. She wasn't super interested, but she did listen. Unfortunately we couldn't ever find her again during the week.
Tuesday, well, we couldn't take out money from the banks. We get our SIG (allotted monthly money) at the start of every month, SO, we just lived on our small food storage. We didn't have much crazy things happen. We talked to Antonia for a while.
Wednesday, Elder Wagner couldn't eat all day cause he had to do a fast for a doctor test. Cause he has a hard time sleeping all through the night. He wakes up like 10 times a night. So he suffered a bit all day. We went by German, who was SUPER drunk, he tried to tell us drinking was ok using the bible, cause Jesus drank wine. He was soooooo drunk that when he opened his scriptures to read us the part he just read some random verse in revelations. Very convincing eh? Anyway, we don't really see a point in talking to a super drunk guy, so we left. We then found another newbie.,Samantha. She is Evangelical. But we got in and taught her. She is pregnant with her second child. Her husband is nice, but abusive (if that makes sense) so we taught her and gave her the Book of Mormon. She likes to read so she said she would read. She told us that maybe this is the true church she was looking for earlier. We only were able to talk to there once last week, shes about to have her kid, so shes always in the hospital.
Thursday, we had to get up at 5:20 in the morning to go to Elder Wagner's Doctor appointment. Fun eh? Then we have another appointment this Thursday for the results. We found 2 more investigators today. Nazereno and Veronica. They are teenagers. But they were wiling to listen. And they are going to read and pray. We go back to them tonight. So we hope it all goes well :).
Friday, we went back to German, he was not drunk, so we talked. He had been super sick since Tuesday when we left. He was just now feeling better. He was VERY repentant of having drunk. And was very determined to stop. He lost a week of work cause of drinking, which in Argentina isn't good since they don't make a ton. So now he wont drink more.
Saturday, Wagner was sick for a bit, ate some bad meat or something, then we visited a few people. Not much really happened.
Sunday, well we had 3 less active families go, German being one of them, so in that sense we were content. We were teaching a Gospel principles class, when Nerina, who is at the time living with her boyfriend :( , asked us what happens when someone knows they are breaking a commandment, but they don't want to change (in her case cause she wants a family and she just started dating the guy so he wont marry her). Elder Wagner, did some good, and told her that when we justify our sins its cause we are prideful. We think our will is more important or greater then the will of God.¨ So he told her flat out. At first I think she was upset, but Ii think she thought about it a bit, and by the end of the class she accepted it. What he said is the truth. We cannot justify sin. And he said it at the right time. Later that day, we visited Mirt and Carlos who are waiting for Carlos to get his divorce. Good people, But they just don't seem to understand that they still need to go to church, ha ha.
And today, we didn't do a ton, we cleaned, I washed all my clothes and such fun things. So that is pretty much the week right there. Wasn't to bad, we still are just trying to get some lessons, we don't get very many. But I think this week we will see some really good things happen. We are working, but hey, what can I say, we will get some more baptisms if we keep working, ha ha. That's for sure. Anyway don't worry bout me, I will just keep working righteous harry-kery (I don't know how to spell it, ha ha).
Love you
