Howdy everybody! How was your week last week!? I hear that things are getting pretty chilly in the great state of Utah, hahaha basically the complete opposite down here in Aimogasta! I'll send pictures at the end of the email that explains the title just a little bit more haha!!
Well this week was a great week! We have a couple more people on date for baptism so we have been working really hard to keep them moving forward and progressing! Mi hijo amado and I were walking one day and having this conversation of how the work is going. We talked about how we are so used to living this missionary schedule and doing this everyday, so when we go home it is going to be weird! We will wake up and wonder what to do, and why we are not using area book to plan our day haha! But as time goes on I have fallen in love with the work, and for being in the refiners fire so I can become better and help others do the same along the way!
Our baptismal dates that we placed this week are some amazing people! One is named Luciana who is this really old lady that has the most pure heart on this planet. The other one is this guy named Yair who is 24, who was ready to be baptized before we even asked him! Luciana is a lady who has always loved God. She prays all the time and she loves reading her Bible! It is really fun to teach her because she is just so willing to do what we asked her. I'll never forget when we taught her how to pray, like everybody here they have strong catholic believes so prayer is really different. We taught her how, then gave her a paper that had the steps of prayer on it, and she offered a half catholic prayer, and did the other half the way we taught her haha! We will be passing by her house again today so I am looking forward to it!
Yair is 24, and has some crazy life experiences that has happened to him. He struggled with addiction because of that but then the missionaries came over. It wasn't us, it was others but they gave him a copy of the book of mormon, which he fell in love with. He tells us now when he struggles, instead of doing what he used to, he opens the book of mormon. We taught him the restoration and asked him to pray to know of the truthfulness of the book of mormon and he said, "Yo se que es verdad" (I know it is true) It will be a great experience just to continue and watch his testimony grow!
Well this email is way to long! I'll leave it here! I love you all, not a day goes by where I am not thinking about ya! Let me know if you need anything 😊
Love always, Elder Weese
