Mucha agua

I hope you have all had a wonderful week, because I had a pretty great one! It's been raining ever since Friday night... so... we've been pretty wet.

I'm standing in the middle of the street.

On Wednesday we went early in the morning with Estella and Waldo to Tigre so that they could have a day to get married. It was raining really hard and we got soaked. In the end the earliest they will be able to get married will be in January... which pushes back them getting baptized just a little bit. Needless to say, they were pretty disappointed. 

On Saturday we met Ariel, Waldo and Estella's son. He is 17 and really cool. He is very very interested in what we have to share with him. On Sunday even though it was raining really hard and we couldn't go by to pick him up due to some complications that morning, he came to church by himself! He had a great experience. Later that afternoon we asked him why it is that he chose to come to church even though he had many possible excuses to not come. He told us, "I came because last night after reading the Book of Mormon, I prayed to know if it was true and I felt really really peaceful, happy, and content. I felt hungry for more Spiritual knowledge and wanted to come to church. I want to be baptized on the 16th." We were pretty much speechless, it was what every missionary dreams of hearing come out of an investigators mouth. He's awesome.

Saturday we also met Daniela, who is Mónica's 30 year old daughter. She is pretty great as well and also came to church yesterday. The only thing is... she was somewhat unsure about church and the Book of Mormon and baptism. We asked her if she had prayed to know if the Book of Mormon was true and she said that she hadn't. It was incredible to me yesterday to see the contrast of Ariel and Daniela, one who prays and one who does not. I encourage you all to pray.

On Friday I was able to go on exchanges with Elder Fuentes. It was a lot of fun because we had been companions in Constitución and we get along great together. It was funny as I realized that I teach basically the same as he does... I guess that is what happens with your first couple companions haha.

Exchanges with my ex-companion Elder Fuentes.

He's from Chile

It's been raining since Friday and all the streets are flooded in my area up to our knees... it's pretty crazy. Mucha agua. I love you all. Que la fuerza les acompañe.

Love,

Elder John William Garrett
