Roberto

This transfer has floooooown by, I can`t believe it! Every transfer is màs y màs ràpido! Ay! I didn`t even realize that I passed my halfway point........it was 11 days ago. That is a scary thought D:

Our Roberto was baptized!!! Wahoo! I think it`s so awesome how we met him. About a month ago his dog ran away from the house (which they say she never ever does because she`s a lazy dog), and as he was chasing her, she ran to our apartment. My companion had the door open just about to leave, and the dog ran in. His dog started it all! It wasnt coincidence :) We have been teaching him and some of his family members, they are such an awesome family! The mom had a baptism date too, but got really sick (an elderly woman)...but the desire is there and she`ll be entering the waters in no time :) I can`t even explain the change that has happened with him and his family, it`s incredible. They have passed and are passing some really hard trials, and wow, the gospel has changed so much for them. Roberto was confirmed yesterday and was soooo happy, he went up and bore his testimony, was giving candy to everyone that was sitting by us, and was talking to all the members and making a ton of friendships! (I mean there arent many members, but still!) My companion and I sang at his baptism, half english and half spanish :) His baptism was so beautiful and he was telling the world about how he felt haha. 

We had a super fun activity with the branch! We decided to take advantage of everyone in the baptism on Friday and told them we wanted all of them to all stay for an activity (we had nothing planned......but we`re tryin to strengthen the branch haha). We had a member go and get his guitar and we sang and played guitar/piano, ate food, and laughed a ton! It was so much fun!

Last Pday we went to a super pretty River in San Pedro with our district and had a picnic. It was super fun! Today we will be going to a festival that has food from all countries with the district, but the phone was cutting out and I didnt hear what the rest of the plans were, so I guess it`s just a surprise! haha. Either way, Pdays are always super fun :) 

Things are going great, I`m loving the work here, we are seeing such great things happen and there will be a lot more this week :) I`m loving it here in Baradero :) We have transfers next week and we dont know what will happen, but it`s comforting to know that everything is inspired by God, so I`m not worried. I do love my area and companion though!!

Until next week!

The wonderous dog that found missionaries.

Baptism with his parents....Aweeee they're so sweet.

Conference :D

HOLA!!!! :D

Perdòn I`m starting to get kinda lazy with the general emails! I used to write down what I did and it was easier to write in detail, but when I dont bring anything, I sit here and try to think of what happened this week! The weeks fly by SOOOO fast, and there`s always sooo much that happens! 

Almost the whole week we werent in our area unfortunately, so much traveling! It`s really not common to be traveling this much, and I know it will calm down, there`s just been a lot of things going! We went back to Zàrate to sleep in a different pension for a zone meeting the next day. An hour before the meeting I got Lumbago. To be honest...I still dont know what that is and I dont even know if it`s the same word in english or anything. I`ve never heard of that! But I guess it`s something I did with my back muscles. All I know....is I`m recovering from a back injury from a couple days ago. It was such painful back pain and I could barely walk....Abuelita Carter. I walked up to a taxi to take us to the meeting and walked in all crippled. I was just gonna let it pass but some other hermanas were freaking out because they have had it before. I went to a clinic, waited 3 hours (really testing my patience ha), and the doctor was tryin to help me lay down on the bed, and I couldnt even do that! He was moving my legs and wow, the pain!! He told me I couldnt work for a couple days...that wasnt going to happen...not as a missionary! But I could walk straight up after 2 days and it still bothers me, but it`ll go away in a couple days. I just had a bad movement...it was so weird how strong and fast it all happened! But hey...it all passed, Im doing just fine!! But yeah, the traveling is a lot, but at least we get to travel through some really really pretty areas with some fun people! 

We had 8 investigadores go to the conference, and some of them went to multiple sessions! Wow, crazy, it was amazing!!! They loved it! It was amazing to see how it touched many of them. Everything about the conference was so powerful and so great! Unfortuntely, we couldnt watch the first session, because we had a power outage in all of Baradero for awhile...so I will have to catch up. But the other 3 sessions were so amazing! These investigadores are so amazing, and it`s so amazing to see the changes already with their new perspective of life as they put into practice the principles of the gospel :) We are truly blessed to have the gospel in our lives! 

One of the many things I have learned in the mission is that I have found many of my friends of the premortal life :) And yeah, I dont really have much more to say about that, but I am so grateful for all of the great companions and friendships I have made out here in the mission...with missionaries, members, and investigadores! It`s incredible! 

Have a great week!!!
