How's everyone doing? I hope all is well and that you'll all stop growing, seeing pictures makes me feel like you're all older and different, haha (other than the DWSers still look immature, haha. Nah, I'm joking!) Seems like things are ok up there, that's good!
Down here we have been getting colder weather and it's kinda nice! Argentina is awesome and the way these people speak Spanish is sweet man! Right now in our work we have been working with this same family, the Rodriguez family, to get the couple married and so the dad can be baptized and become a member of the church. They are having struggles, they have been together so long that they fight like a married couple and so they haven't got the marriage date set yet, but yesterday night we had a spiritual lesson with them and hopefully can get things figured out and they'll get married this month.
We are also working with the familia Pereira, mainly the 13 year old, Celena, and 14 year old Simon and the mom, Julietta, the dad is a member. They've been to church plenty of times but they've never prayed to know if the church is true and so they haven't been baptized, but if things work out the way as planned hopefully they prayed last night, and now they know it's a path they should follow. We are also trying to be better at "casting out the net" and being fishers of men. We're trying to find some more people still, but I know with hard work, diligence, and patience and exact obedience we'll get there!
I was reading Preach my Gospel this morning and saw a part in the first chapter titled "My Purpose'. It read, "As your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ grows, your desire to share the gospel will increase." It's very important that we can study the Atonement of our Savior and get to know Him, as missionaries and members, preaching the gospel of our Savior is something we should be involved in. Lots of preaching we do is done by example and the way we live our lives, and then some is spoken word. I thought that was cool cause afterwards I read Alma 5:49, it explained exactly our purpose as missionaries and what our work is. I want to be able to serve the Lord to the best of my potential ability. Like the prophet Tomas Monson said, if the Lord needs and errand ran, Tom Monson will run that errand for him. I always want to be on the Lord's errand, and do my very best to serve him. I also found a scripture in D&C 42:42 that gives the reason why we work hard and preach the gospel.  Keep doing the small and simple things and I will write you next week. Gracias por su paciencia y su bondad!
