First off today was an amazing day. We went to see PENGUINS!!!!!! My convert Mariano took us and Ill send some pics. I went with three of my best friends in the mission. Elder Stauffer, Elder Febbo, and Elder Oviatt. Sure do love those guys.
This last week was pretty different. With everything that is going on in the mission and in mine, Im just happy with the progress im continually making. Our neighbor last week asked us if we could babysit her two year old child. Because I felt the spirit I said yes and we started to watch Naomi every morning from 7 to 3 in the afternoon. Our neighbor Fernanda ended up feeling the spirit, and it reminded her of something she felt a long while back... you can imagine. She recognized a feeling from when she was a orphan in the northern part of the country. The Elders would sneak in to what was a Catholic orphanage and teach the kids. She would go to church with them secretly and then the owners found out and they shut down that saving operation. So turns out she was baptized or that's what she remembers. It would make sense and took two crazy missionaries who one would want to watch her baby, two to ask their leaders for permission, and three to do it for a week to help put that feeling in her life again.haha so that's my miracle for the week.
Because we spent almost all of our time watching our new friend naomi we didnt have too much time to find, teach, and baptize. We however are progressing with Juan and Jorge. Juan is loving everything about the church. One problem he is not married and his wife doesnt have to much of a desire to change that. So we are trying to have a lot of patience and keep working with every member in the family. Funny story, Juan gave a bottle of wine as a gift. He wouldnt let us not accept it so we are going to cook an amazing Thanksgiving dish cooking with Argentine wine. Jorge comes to church every sunday. Problem is that we cant find him during the week. So pray that we find him and he wants to get baptized. His wife has been a member for two years now. Hopefully her prayers will be answered as well.
Well, Im only a month out of finishing my mission. Not trunky.... or maybe a little. I have been looking back at my mission. All the fun, hard, spiritual, sad, happy, and basically every emotion you can think of experiences. Im happy and proud of what I have done. Have I been perfect? no! My message today is just that. We dont have to be perfect. Christ and our Heavenly Father ask that we put in OUR 100%. Thats different for everyone. Yours, mine, and the man on the side of the road, we all have different lives. Only Christ understands exactly who we are and what we are going through. Do you best! I promise as you try, you just have to try, our Father in Heaven will bless you. He will put light into your life. Change you, mold you, and make you the son or daughter of God He needs you to be. Sometimes His plan is different than ours. Be patient. Love others and remember that you have an eternal potential. Les Quiero mucho.
Elder Saunders del fin del mundo.
Forgot to mention. We found golf here in Rio Gallegos. We looked it up in Google and found a FaceBook page. Then we texted a member and she sent a message through facebook. They responded and we found out they have a indoor facility to practice. crappy mats and balls and clubs but soooo worth it cause they let us pracitce for free.
After I hit a few shots they asked if I play a lot. said yes and then they invited me to play in a tournament... hahah they also offered to take us to the course for free everything!!! miracles baby hahaha
They also know the brother of my convert in Comodoro where I played golf last year. The golfing life is small here. hahaha loving it!
