Holaaaaaaa
Come estan?? This week I have some fun facts to start out with...
1- the majority of our less actives call us Elders haha
2-last night this old lady member wanted to take us out to eat so she's like come to my house and follow me to the restaurant and sister chamberlain and I were following her and we were just saying like man we will go anywhere just not a Chinese buffet (they have lots of them around here and their are super sketchy one was serving dog I don't know they scare me) anyways we pull up to the restaurant and it was VIP oriental buffet hahah just our luck..
3- we were talking to a member about her nonmember brother and we were just like what does he think about baptism? And she's like "I think it would probably just be easier to baptize him when he's dead" haha so I guess he's not all that interested right now.
4- on Saturday night our zone leaders called us and said that a member in their ward was at our wards Father's Day party last week and was upset because the sister missionaries were dancing (us) hahaha all we did was stand up holding hands with a little girl and spun her around or something but we got in trouble because someone was mad about us dancing.
This week we went to the temple with a lot of our recent converts Saturday but we didn't have a baptism which we were sad about. We had two people that were going to be baptized but one of them is struggling to keep the word of wisdom and the other is Jesus. We taught him on Thursday and he always tells us that he's not ready for his baptism and that he doesn't have time and we always have super powerful lessons and he's like I need to ponder it longer. So Thursday he told us that that night he would read and he would pray about his baptism and tell us Friday so we prayed and prayed and prayed for him and we showed up on Friday and he gave us the same answer that he's too busy and needs to think longer so we all kneeled down and prayed again and sat there for like 10 minutes in silence after and still he said he wants to wait. Man it was frustrating. I ended up crying during the lesson because he has a daughter that passed away from cancer and I was testifying to him that this is how he's going to be with her forever and he just kept saying he needs to think and wait and doesn't have time. It is hard when people know that the message is true and feel the spirit but don't act on it. Also it says in preach my gospel "do all you can while still respecting the agency of others" so we did what we could and will keep praying that he will be baptized soon.
This week president sent everything in to the missionary department about my situation and my health for Argentina so we will see what happens. I know that the Lord will provide a way for me to serve where he needs me if it's here or there. Next week is transfers. If I'm staying in San Diego I think sister chamberlain will leave and I'll have a new companion here but we will see what happens. I love being a missionary! I'm so happy and grateful for all of your support and prayers! Keep the faith
