This past week was fantastic. We are having so much fun finding new people to teach, preaching the gospel, and seeing miracles. Carmen and her son Ronald are doing great.  They've got a baptismal date for this Sunday, so keep them in your prayers! Diego is doing well also... but he slept in late and didn't get up to go to church... and didn't wake up when we tried to wake him up... so that pushes back his baptismal date... be sure to keep him in your prayers as well.

This week we found a man named Juan Domingo who is pretty great. He's 54 and has diabetes. He dropped about 125 pounds in 8 months and now weighs 155. He's had a really hard life and can hardly walk. He's accepting everything and we brought him to church yesterday, which he also loved.

We met a friend of a recent convert's on Saturday, and I don't think I've ever met someone so excited to go to church. She was literally giddy. She enjoyed it a lot, and we're excited to keep teaching her.

Yesterday I met a less-active member who has been going through many challenges lately, and she asked us to give her a blessing. I have given more blessings in my mission than I can count, and I have felt the Spirit every time, but this time was different. I don't know that I've ever felt the Spirit so strongly while giving a blessing, and all throughout the blessing and afterwards this dear sister was bawling. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that is so aware of every one of His children. The Priesthood is real. 

Today we spent P-day at the Batalla family's house, and they live in the richest private neighborhood in all of Argentina, in Nordelta. It was pretty awesome. They have a private lake. When we got there Sister Batalla said, "so, I bought asado to eat, if that's okay"... of course it's okay! It was an awesome day.

I hope all is well wherever this email may find you! I love you all! Que la fuerza les acompañe!

Love,

Elder John William Garrett
