Hola Familia!
Hoy es 9 de Julio el día de independencia por Argentina. Feliz día!!!
[Today is the 9th of July- Independence day in Argentina. Happy Day!]
So
we had one funny experience and one miracle this week. (We always have
funny experiences and miracles but these two are the best).
So the funny experience. We were talking to a dad of a recent
convert. The first time we met him he was atheist and now he believes in
something...so we are progressing. haha So after our lesson with him we
were like "hey we would like you to say the prayer and ask if the Book
of Mormon is true". He was like "uh...no I can't I'm too embarrassed."
us "no you'll be fine, we will go inside your house were no one can see us and we will just say a short prayer"
him "no seriously I'm too embarrassed and its really dirty in my house"
us "its ok...we really don't care. vamos.(lets go).
So we go in his house and my compi and I kneel down...he doesn't kneel
because he is too embarrassed still. haha so finally he was like ok ok
ok "what do I need to say..." so we explained one more time how he
needed to start and end the prayer and then in the middle he could ask a
specific question. So he was like ok. So we close our eyes and are
sitting there for a few minutes and he doesn't say anything. So we just
wait patiently. Then all the sudden he was like. "ok I said it." hahaha
he said it in his mind!!! haha I was trying so hard not to laugh. I
figured that since we were there with him he would just say it out loud
but whatever. A prayer is a prayer. haha It was really great. The
mission is incredible.
The miracle now. So last week we found this 18 year old girl names Estefania. She was really great and we got to teach her a little bit
before her dad's crazy girlfriend kicked us out of the house. But
whatever. So we couldn't get a hold of her all week and ended up passing
by her house again on Sunday. So we taught her the Plan of Salvation
because her mom passed away. So after the lesson we put a date of
baptism with her on the 28th of July. And she accepted it. After a few
more minutes of talking to her she was like, "yeah about 2 years ago I
went to a Mormon church everyday and was almost baptized, but I just
didn't feel ready, but now I do and would like to be baptized." UM
OK!!!! So maybe do you want to be baptized on the 15th of July? and Estefania was like..yeah! haha oh my goodness. Sometimes when things
like this happen my companion and I don't know what to say and we just
are standing there with goofy grins on our faces. haha I love it. So we
have a baptism next week!!! we are so excited because also this month
our mission has made a goal that EVERY AREA baptizes!!! We definitely
don't want to be left out! haha
Thank you so much for your support and your prayers and you betcha I
prayed for rain in Utah. I'm glad everyone is safe. Thank you so much
for everything. It really does make a difference to missionaries when
their families and friends are supportive. We had 5 missionaries go home
last week...its was really hard to hear about. (don't worry...I'm not
coming home until Feb or Mar...most likely Feb.) I love you all so much
and look at your pictures daily..because they give me the biggest boost!
Love you all!
Enjoy the little things!
Love, Hermana Bosco
