| sorry we can't turn it around!!! |
I'm guessing that everyone heard about the volcano eruption in Chile. We started seeing the effects last Monday and Tuesday because the sun was all white and we could look directly at it. So weird. It was all the smoke and ash had traveled up to us. People here have been really sad because on the Argentina side, Neoquin, all their water and food is contaminated and lots are suffering. Since it is the province just south of us, many of our members and investigators have family there. So on Tuesday we only went out half day because President Lindahl wanted us to get major food storage. That is one on the pictures I am sending. We took a taxi home because it was so much to carry! I guess volcanos are sometimes followed by earthquakes so since Mendoza is on a earthquake fault he is getting us all prepared. Makes me a little nervous but I guess that is the times we are living in.
Besides all the crazy natural disaster gossip, this week was awesome. We met some amazing people and got 5 of them to church this week. It takes some strategy to do it since all we we can do is walk and only 3 members have cars. PLUS, this week was an AMAZING stake conference broadcasted from Buenos Aires. Neil A Anderson and Boyd K Packer spoke! I was in heaven taking all sorts of notes and I think even though it was long to sit, the investigators liked it too. If all goes well we should have two baptisms this week. Maxi is 18yrs old and is super smart and knows 4 languages! Javier is the father of a family we have been teaching and we just have been waiting for his health to get better and hopefully he will get cleared this week. There are many others who are scheduled for the next few weeks, we just have to keep loving and supporting them as they get their testimonies stronger. I love getting people excited for baptism. I get about as pumped for baptism as I would for a basketball game!
Well, I feel blessed as ever. The work is still hard. Saturday we knocked over 100 doors and only got it twice. Those days are hard but Hna Wilde and I make up fun songs and laugh at the silly things we see here as we sing and walk. The work of the Lord cannot be stopped, I just keep working my hardest so I can help and be a better instument in his hands. Thank you for all your prayers and support! Even though I am so far away I still feel the love from you all here!

1> All the food storage in our room!
2> We went to a big supermarket far away and I found the same cereal I remember eating in Ecuador when I was a kiddo there! Tony the TIGRE!
3> We invited all these friends of one of our new converts to a big fun Family Home Evening (Noche de Hogar) and we ate fried bread and watched the Testaments. I love the craziness of tons of Argentine kids! They have the sweetest spirits!
That is all for this week! Love you all!!
