Howdy everybody!! How is everything going? This week was pretty crazy haha!
So we had our zone conference on Wednesday and they wanted us to go over there a day early because we live far away from Córdoba, so we hopped on a bus Tuesday night and headed in that direction! It was fun being able to get together with a bunch of the other missionaries! Zone conference was really good! I learned a lot! Also had to give a training session with my companion that took about an hour for us to give haha so I'm glad the Lord helped us out with that one! I also had to say goodbye to my dad, Elder Scott who will be going home in a couple of weeks so that was pretty hard doing that. Elder Scott truly helped me form my mission and helped me stay! I can't thank God enough for putting him in my life! I´ll make sure to throw in all the pictures of that in this email!
After the zone conference we were getting on the bus when my companion started having some pain where his appendix is, so we got off the bus and called Hermana Zanni to tell her we were going to the hospital in Córdoba. So we spent another day in Córdoba figuring out what he has going on (which we still don't have the answers for), but I am just grateful to have healthcare in the states!
We eventually made it back to Bell Ville and continued with the work! Helping our friend Nancy prepare for her baptism, she was very excited and ready to be baptized until Saturday morning we got a text from one of the members saying that Nancy was in the hospital. She was in bed and had a panic attack which sent her to the hospital and she told her daughter, ¨Tell them to cancel the baptism, I can't do it¨ That night we went over to the members house and had Nancy join us and she just broke down just explaining how unworthy she felt and how she was not ready for it. We helped her calm down a little and I shared with her a little bit of me preparing for the mission, because I know how unworthiness feels. I explained to her how worthiness is not flawlessness, worthiness is being honest in all that we do and trying. (Thank you Brad Wilcox) Nancy is ready, I know that she is worthy to be baptized and that she will feel her sins wash away on her baptism day. So we will be baptizing her :)
Yesterday we had a stake conference! It went really well! Nancy came, our friend Diego (who is the boxer) came, and Juan Carlos came as well! There was a very strong spirit during the conference that we all felt during the conference! That afternoon we taught a lesson with Diego and brought a member with us! In that lesson we were able to put Diego on date for baptism! When I tell ya you could just see the spirit touch him and his eyes just illuminate when we invited him to follow the Savior´s example and to be baptized, it was real! I am very excited for our friend Diego!
Anyways that basically sums the week up! I sure do love you all and hope you all have a wonderful week! Hasta luego!
