Week 60!


¡¡¡HOLA!!!
¿Como Estàn todos?  i'm doing quite fantastic in Artigas!!!  :)  not a whole lot has happened in this last week... we did divisions this last week with our District leader (Elder Ropelato) and his kid (Elder Morales) this time i actually got to leave my area and go with Elder Ropelato to his branch!!!  this is the first time in like 5 changes that i have left my area to do divisions, usually i ALWAYS stay in my area for divisions so i was extremely happy to leave my area for a day.  we didn't have a whole lot to do because we had to wait for an elderly couple missionaries to come and do a clean chack for their house.  haha so we had to wait for like an hour for them to come because they came late.  haha oh well...  all i can say is that it was nice to leave my area to work after almost 6 months of working here in my area.  haha but besides that there is only one note worthy thing on the list...  noelia did not get baptized... but it's an interresting story, here we go...  so this last week we've been trying to stop by her every day to make sure that she would be ready to be baptized on sunday.  she was telling us that she knows that all of these things are true and that the Book of Mormon was true and everything so we were preparing for the baptism and everything.  friday she got super weird... at the beginning she wouldn't talk to us and then after about 15 minutes started freaking out at us and getting really mad at the thought of the church, we talked to her very calmly and softly with a serious tone to try to see what happened and it turns out that she has problems with anger and sometimes feels as if she's being demented be demons or something.  she told us that after a little bit of her yelling and screaming she stopped and told us what was happening and that after a little bit of us talking that feeling went away from her and she felt more calm and back to normal.  we tried to tell her that it went away because we KNOW that the Lord wanted her to listen to what we were telling you and about the importance of this stuff.  saterday we talk with her and nothing much changed with her, she told us that she thinks that this is a true church but doesn't think that it's the ONLY true church that Christ has on the earth.  our District leader Elder Ropelato came because we WERE going to do a baptismal interview but he ended up just rtying to find out what was wrong.  he told us that he found out that she has lots of problems and lots of bad things that happened in her life that she has never told anyone EVER.  so this next week we are going to work with her but we need to get back to the basics.  Reading, praying, and going to church again.  that is the ONLY way she is going to recieve this answer, is if she does that small and simple things in this life.  but hey, got no more time,
love ya'll
