Howdy everybody!!! How was your week!? I hope everything is going well back home! Y’all are always in my prayers!
This week went by really fast!! It started off by learning my new area, and I am still in that process but that's ok!! Bell Ville is a little town about 3 hours south of Córdoba! It is very beautiful over here and there are a ton of horses on the street so it makes me a little homesick haha. But we started things off really good!!! We have been visiting a lot of members which has been a really good thing because a lot of part member families have been found in the process! There are about 500 members here, probably more, but about 30 of them come to church so there is A TON of work to do haha!!
We had exchanges this week with the AP's! Elder Bunker and Elder Gardner are just the best! I learned a lot and had some really cool experiences with Elder Gardner. I had a goal to be more spirit led so we worked for that! For example we marked an area on the map we wanted to visit because missionaries haven't gone there much. When we got there I told Epder Gardner I wanted to pray and ask for guidance before we went in, so that's what we did! We then looked at the map and picked a street we wanted to walk down. The first few contacts were an instant no, then we had one where we taught the guy the entire restoration and he just simply didn't accept it, and then there were a few more no's after that. That is until we went to the last door on the street to end the day to look for a part member family, a guy named Leo opened the door. Turns out the part member family didn't live there but Leo had a lot of questions of the afterlife so he asked us to come in. Leo is 19 or 20 years old, he is in the police and lives with his mom and dad. We taught him the plan of salvation and he loved it! In fact he loved it so much he asked us to come back before we even offered! What a miracle right!?
We also had some exchanges with my old companion Elder Krupp and his companion Elder Camargo. I went with Elder Camargo and we decided to do the same thing. We weren't having a whole lot of success so I told Elder Camargo let's pray! So we did! We went over to a little store where he knew a girl worked that had interest in listening! We went there and she talked to us for 2 seconds and then went to the back and kept working so we left, as we were walking I told Elder Camargo we should go back and get her number at least. As we were standing on the sidewalk, deciding what to do I noticed a girl standing in her door frame staring at us. So I told Elder Camargo, let's go talk to her! As we were talking her mom came out to listen and they told us how they have always seen the missionaries but they never knocked on their door! They loved the restoration and the idea of prophets! Another miracle!!
I'm gonna cut her off here! I hope yall will seek miracles everyday and pray for them, I promise that they are there, we just have to exercise our faith by our actions!! Have a wonderful week everybody!
Love, Elder Weese
