Howdy everybody! How's it going for yall? I hope all is well back home!!
Well it is Sunday night right now and I am currently sitting on a bus on my way to La Rioja, I'll explain a little bit. We received transfer news yesterday. My companion is leaving to serve in Córdoba, and I will be staying here! My new companions name is Elder Krupp and he just barely got out of training! I am also the new district leader here so that will be fun figuring all that out!
But the question still stands, why am I going to La Rioja? Well we got a text from the office Elders that had Elder Porters ticket for Córdoba, but I had nothing. I figured that my new companion was going to arrive when mine was leaving but nope, he ain't getting here till Tuesday morning! So that would've put me by myself for all of Monday and a little bit of Tuesday morning which is a big no no in the mission. YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE A COMPANION!
Well we got a phone call from our AP's after church today, which by the way our church ends at 8, so pretty late! Saying how we needed to run too the terminal to buy me a ticket to La Rioja (which is closer to Aimogasta than anything) so I can hang out with the Elders over there. Luckily the Lord provided that miracle for us!!!
Now I'll talk about my week for yall! It has been very hot like usual, so I am continuing to get skin cancer everyday from the Aimogasta sun! I walked a lot! But it went well!!
Elder Porter and I have been using our priesthood to give blessings a lot which has been a great opportunity for me! We went over to one of our friends house, their names are Miguel and Shaira. They have 2 kids but they aren't married and they want to be baptized, but need to take some big steps in life in order to do that! We went over this week and their baby was really sick! She had a fever for 3 days that was really bad and the doctors told them that the fever wasn't going to leave for at least a few more days, so we offered to give the baby a priesthood blessing. The next day we get a big long text from Shaira saying how the baby woke up 100% better, and she was so grateful that we gave the baby a blessing!
We passed by there house a second time to have a little lesson with them, and ended up doing a service project right after for about an hour haha! They had to giant dirt mounds that they needed help moving so Elder Porter and I grabbed some shovels and got digging!
This week we put another girl on date for baptism. Her name is Milka Bazán, who was baptized years ago but they have no record of it. So it came down to us needing to baptize her again, so if yall could keep her in your prayers that would be great! It has been hard for her to accept this!
Church was a miracle!! We got a new branch president, (we are a part of a branch in La Rioja because we are too small to have our own) and his name is President Villafañe. He has been killing it already! He came to Aimogasta with some people who serve in the stake! But the turnout was incredible! We had 24 people at church today which is a record for Aimogasta!! The meeting was great, I know that everybody there could feel the spirit! It was also sad having to watch Elder Porter say goodbye to everybody at the end!
Well this email is wayyyyy too long so I'll cut her off here! I love yall so much and hope you have a fantastic week! Don't forget to reach out if you need anything! Make sure to tell me how life is for you all! I would love to know these things!!! Nos vemos!!
Love, Elder Weese
