We found an awesome little family named Romina, her daughter
Wanda, and her sister Florencia this past week. They are super great and are
really eager to learn and to follow Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, they went out
of town this weekend and were unable to go to church, but we're excited to
continue working with them this week.
This morning we went to the Buenos Aires temple as a
mission, which is why I'm writing so late. It was a really great experience,
one I won't forget. It was a little different... as everything was in Spanish,
but it was cool to see that it's the same everywhere. It's the House of the
Lord. The Spirit is so strong in the temple I love it. I was able to feel
really strongly how much my Savior loves me and all the people that live in
this mission.
It rained a lot this week, which meant a lot of mud. I had
to scrape dried mud off of my shoes this morning before shining them to go to
temple. Something cool is that I talked with an Elder from Uruguay, and after a
while he asked me where I was from, to which I replied Utah. He thought I was
joking. He didn't believe me. He asked many other Elders where I was from and
they told him I was from Utah and he still didn't believe me. He said that I
have a Porteño accent (how people talk in capital). It made me feel pretty
happy.
This Friday is Valentine's Day. I'm not really sure if they
celebrate it here... but I'll be celebrating it by hitting 6 months in the
mission. That's 1/4. Bump Day. Crazy right? Time has sure flown by for me, I
don't know about the rest of you. I guess I will mirror my best friend Elder
Taylor and say that El Libro de Mormón is my Valentine.
