...en un
trigal tres tristes tigres traigan trigo.
Hola Todos! The lovely tongue
twister above is what my dear companion taught me to help me have a better
accent... yeah, i´m still working on it. The majority of people guess that I´m
a Yankee on the spot ;) Hey, whacha gonna do. True to red white and blue! (now
new and improved with a Celeste y Amorillo mark on my heart)
First off, I´ve just got
to say, I LOVE TRENQUE LAUQUEN!!! The people, the trees, the city, the
neighborhoods, the dog Cáramel that follows us everywhere, the cows and horses
in the streets outside of people’s houses... I could go on and on. We had a TON
of people in the church this Sunday! And it was a huge joy to see people
returning to church after being away for a long time. To see the people that recently
have been baptized get there with the help of members. To see those who are
firm in the faith keeping it. Our little Brenda was so happy to be in the
church! And the power of her joy has helped refuel our energy to keep finding
the people who find and need the joy that the Gospel of Jesus Crist brings to
us.
I loved the words of one
of the members in our gospel principles class this Sunday- "The temple of
Buenos Aires is only 600 kilometers away, we have to take advantage of that
blessing and go as often as possible!" That was really humbling to me, to
think that at home, I have a temple that is only 5 minutes away from my
house- When I return, I HAVE to take advantage of that blessing and go as often
as possible. I know that the temple is a holy place and that the promises that
we make there last the eternities.
This week walking the
streets of TreLau, we found a man named Roberto- or rather, he found us. He at
first was just asking a question, but it turns out that he had gone to the
church for almost a year straight and wanted to be baptized, but that he had to
move away to a little neighboring town and never could. when he returned to
TreLau, he didn´t know if it was too late or not to return, and that he had
forgotten so much embarrassed him. (Stinking Satan!). BUT, thanks to his confusion
of direction, we were able to find us in the street, and he told us that he
wants to hear more. Other crazy thing that happened with that- My dear
companion was sick, and whellp, to be continued! Love you all! BYE!!!
