Alfredo has a testimony!

So we've had a few lessons with Alfredo the priest this week and he said he recieved an answer that the Book of Mormon is true!  He believes it, he reads it, he reads conference talks.... AND.. he knows that infant baptisms are wrong. He said that what we´ve taught about the fall of adam, and about the plan of salvation (kingdoms of glory) all make sense. His mind has been illuminated. he came to church again on Sunday and was taking notes the whole time and participating. In our last charla, he told us that in 5 days he leaves for Resistencia to start up the last year of his school. (it takes 8 years to be a priest and hes already on his last year ) and I felt the need to be bold and I asked how he would feel standing before God, if he knows the BOM is true, and that he knows infant baptisms are wrong, etc... and he is preaching false doctrine and performing hundreds of baptisms... how would he feel at judgement day? He was speechless. He said its a huge decision, and he knows its important.. so he's going to be praying about it. We have 1 last charla with him before he goes to Resistencia.. its tomorrow.. and some members are coming with us.I really want him to have the courage to do what he knows is right. Please pray for him!!! 

This week I have felt God leading us to people. Its been evidence to me that God will use us as instruments if we´ll follow the super small nudges of the spirit. We were walking on the street, our plans had fell through, and we walked past a little passageway, and I suggested we turn back and check it out. So we did and got rejected by 2 people... then this little kid saw us and said "Hi Hermana, I'ill go get my sister".. and his sister came out, and we found out that her and her mom talked to missionaries 2 years ago.. they used to go to church and everything. So we taught the girl (sofia, 14 years old). Then I went home and searched for their investigator sheet and finally found it.. and it was missing the address. So there's literally no way we could have found them, if we hadn't of listened to the spirit that morning. I was so exited and I'm hoping they can progress! 

Presidente Patanía gave a talk to us this week... and we had to travel to Goya for it (an hour and a half away).  I am honestly at a point in my mission where I feel really happy.  I feel happy serving and working, and actually get stressed if we have to go to the store, or travel for Pday or something because it means we miss working time. My comps doing good.. we get along great.  As her trainer I"m trying to think of more ways to help her grow. I know we need to speak more Spanish to each other.. its just hard because we´re both pretty chatty, and so we´ll just be chatting forever, and forget about trying to speak Spanish. Its a comp goal for this week though :)
