Wowowoo, This Week Was So Long

Image
Wowowoowo this week was so long, honestly. Went by so slow. And then last night I had a 102 fever.  - We went to a zone conference in Bariloche and it was good! Very spiritual. My testimony grew so much. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and restored the only true church. He did see God the father and Jesus Christ.  - We put someone on a date to be baptized this week and he was so ready and then we found out from members that he is actually an alcoholic so that hurt a lot, we are still working with him though cause people can change!  - 5 of our friends came to church! Pray for Victor, Florencia, Victor Hugo, Mariana and Jairo! Love you all so much! Have a great week, and happy february!  Special shout to kierstyn(19!) and my dad(55!). It was their birthdays this week, love you both!!

Rainbow After The Storm

Wow, so much rejection this week! On Friday the first door we knocked at a woman yelled at us with a lot of bad words and someone on the street heard it all and then after we walked away he apologized... then later that day someone else yelled at else and wouldnt let us talk for 10 min while she told us we are in a cult and we only believe in/adore joseph smith. So for this email I am going to put our basic beliefs!   1) we believe in God(the father), Jesus Christ(the son), and the Holy Ghost. We believe that God and Jesus Christ have bodies of flesh and bones, and that the Holy Ghost is a spirit and they are all separate beings.   2) the Book of Mormon is ANOTHER testament of Jesus Christ. It does not replace the Bible, nothing can. It compliments it.   3) Jesus Christ died for our sins, and he was resurrected on the 3rd day and like him, we will also be resurrected after the second coming of Jesus Christ.   4) it is through baptism by someone that has the priesthoo...

Howdy yall!! We did a 5.8 mile hike at a 70 degree incline. That was a lot. I am dead. Its called piltriquitron if you want to look it up.   Funny: an elder sprayed water out of his mouth laughing so hard   We had a miracle with people coming to church this week and we also had an exchange in esquel! So many miracles in esquel and in our area too. This email is gonna be short cause I dont have a ton of time but i love you all!!   2 PETER 3:18 "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."   I loved this scripture this week! Let his grace work. I love you all!! Sorry this was short. Send me an update on how you are doing!! I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL.   Hermana carden

What Even Happened This Week

Yall. I dont even remember what happened this week. I went to neuquen on thursday and we got there at 2 am, and then I helped welcome in the new missionaries on friday, and then on saturday we left for el bolson again and we got there at 10:15pm. I am so tired of traveling its not even funny.  I was only in my area monday-wednesday and sunday so its been a lil stressful. We also lost a lot of contacts and ALL of our messages from the past 3 months on our WhatsApp so thats also not very helpful with the stress part but I know that everything happens for a reason!  If you got a second read matthew 11:28. I know that we can find rest in christ. This doesnt mean in our bed jaja, we gotta do our part and he will help you. I miss you all so much, I miss hermana mendoza so much, but I know I cant grow(a lot) if im comfortable. Love you all, happy new year!  Hermana Carden

yall my comp is leaving me, im literally so sad, this past 6 weeks was the fastest of my life. I was re-reading my journal entrys from the past 6 weeks and at the end of almost every entry I wrote "I love this work so much". If you guys ever get the chance to meet hermana Mendoza, just know we are the same person just from different places. Oh, when she is hungry she crys JAJAJ. By far the BEST transfer of my mission.   Anyways, a massive building burned down on tuesday and it was pretty scary and very close to our house, but thankfully god was protecting us and we were in lago puelo when it happened!   WARNING THIS NEXT PART IS SENSITIVE On another note, one of our recent converts had a really rough week. On thursday her kids got taken away from her. On thursday afternoon, she found herself on a bridge about to end her life when she felt the impression to call the misionaries. She thought "i dont have credit the call wont go through". And she had the though again, ...
