My week has been..... pretty hard. But i guess hard is good haha. Tuesday morning we got our 3rd companion... Hermana Howe. I"m training both Coleman and Howe and we are figuring out how to balance our teaching, contacting between the three of us. I feel the Lord is trusting me with a lot of responsibility right now and it's hard, but I"m doing it.
We`re teaching Kike... and he`s talked to missionaries a lot over the years.. read the BOM.. and he thinks its all true, but he`s still waiting until the holy ghost tells him he needs to be baptized.
We also teach Isis, wife of recent convert. She has accepted a baptism date for Dec 2nd! She's improving a lot though, growing in faith, and the change in her happiness is really evident. She invited us over for lunch yesterday.. and her family was watching moana haha.. so I heard the weird Shiny song in Spanish.
We taught an atheist this week, and I don't understand how people can live without hope. I don't know why people are okay with believing they will never see their families again after death, or receive strength through prayer and the grace of God. One thing I noticed about myself this week, is how more bold I am in teaching people than I thought I was. I've changed, and the culture has influenced me I think. Considering how shy I used to be...I feel more confident now, and my companions have commented on how they wish they could have no fear talking to people like I do. You have to do what you gotta do!
I'm so excited to get your package mom, :) love you so much! We aren't doing anything special for Thanksgiving.
We are super low on money because Corrientes is more expensive, and we have 3 people. But i might use personal money to buy something to make for thanksgiving dinner. Love you guys, thanks for writing me :) send more pics please! I want to send pics, but haven't taken my camera out because everyone tells me how dangerous Corrientes is, and that I'll be robbed :/
