Week 57!

hey there my good ol famila!!!

 

well i just found out my change and i'm going to stay in Artigas for this next change!  i'm going to stay with Elder Navarro also, that means that i will have been in artigas for 6 months when i finish this change!  wow time sure does fly!  well this week was another good week of success and lots of miracles!!!!  first off, we had a baptism this last saturday of an investigator that is 9 years old.  her aunt is a very faithful member that is our primarty president.  she was very excited and the girl (Pamela) was also very excited becauser her mom finally gave her permission to get baptized.  so that was definitely a blessing.  we also had lots of fun because that morning we went a completely destroyed a house of a member because he built a brand new house on the same property so he asked like 8 Elders to help him destroy a house with sludgehammers and pick-axes.  i had no idesa that houses down here could fall down so quickly,  it was literally down in 15 minutes so the rest of the time was clean up duty.  haha but it was so much fun doing that.  this week was super exciting for another reason, Vanessa, the convert that was baptized like 3 weeks ago just got called to be president of the young womens!!!  she was super excited to have recieved that calling.  she's super scared but also super happy to get this resposability.  it was super cool she told us a really amazing expirience that she had when she lived in Paraguay when neither her or her father were members.  she told us that she had a dream that she went into a building looking like a really nice church.  exeryone was wearing white and that everyone was greating her with hugs and kisses.  she told us that one day she was driving in a car with her dad and they passed the Temple in Paraguay and she said that that temple was the exact building that she saw in her dream.  and she told us that she just now realized that it was one of our temples.  i let her know that the Temple in Montevideo in excactly the same temple as in Paraguay and she got super excited and is preparing to go to the temple.  so overall it was a fairly super great week in all!!!  i'm excited to work super hard this next five weeks(this next change is only five weeks)  so it will definitely be a great time to work hard and have lots of fun!!!

 

love you all,
