Howdy family and friends! How are yall doing? I hope that all are doing good!! I know it isn't Monday ahaha, today was my pday because yesterday we had our zone conference so we changed our pday to today! We had a great week this week!!
Elder Johnson and I right now are teaching some awesome people, who have a lot of potential! I would ask that you would pray for some of them in specific.
1) Familia Vera
2) Familia Mcpherson
3) José
4) María Teresa
These people in this list are our friends that are progressing the most. They need your prayers, so please pray for them! The Vera family is a great family! The dads name is Hector, and he is that guy that Elder Johnson and I found his first night on the mission outside of Grido. We are trying to get his family baptized because he wants to go too the temple badly so that they can be sealed together! The Mcpherson family is a family that we found when I had Elder Westwood here for exchanges! They are doing a lot of research about the church, reading the Book of mormon, and have told us that they are looking for a church to congregate as a family. They didn't come to church on Sunday, so pray that they will start to come too church! José is a guy we found knocking doors! He has been reading the Book of Mormon, he also has shared it with his friend so I have a lot of faith in him! The problem is that his parents aren't to big of fans of us. So when we teach him, we only can when his parents aren't there. María Teresa is our friend who will be baptized on October 6! She is doing so good! Her baptismal interview is tomorrow, but she is ready for this! I don't know a whole lot of people that were that committed to focus on there baptism. She has been sharing the gospel with everybody! She even told us that she set up a meeting with the mayor of San Jorge, to offer us to teach him! She is also telling the police to protect us when we are out on the streets haha, she's a good lady!
Yesterday we had zone conference!! As a mission, we are very focused on our purpose as missionaries to baptize. The conference was very focused on that! We did a lot of practices of inviting people to be baptized, which was good because that night I did an exchange with one of the Ap's and my zone leader, and we invited literally every person we saw to be baptized! The Lord blessed us with many miracles! We were able to put a family of 5 on date for baptism!! It was so cool how we found them. We were running down the street with a lot of urgency to find the elect, when we stopped at a house. The family was inside eating criollos and drinking mate cocido. Which is your basic Argentine snack. We asked them if we could show them a picture, we had a giant picture of Christ being baptized! We explained to them what the picture was, and then explained to them how the Restoration was necessary for our salvation. They loved it! And accepted to be baptized on the 14 of October! "The field is white, and ready to harvest"
It was a great week! The mission is going by really fast. I have been greatly blessed as I have done my best to sacrifice everything. It is hard to sacrifice some things, but I promise that as you do the Lord will bless you. He wants you, to achieve your highest potential as His child! Have a wonderful week!
Love, Élder Weese
