Mixed Week

Well honestly this week was a little strange. I have never had as much success as it comes to finding new people to teach and inviting people to be baptized as I had this week but in the end, no one came to church.... so it all kinda felt lame... but I know all this work we put in this work will pay off! We are going to work extra hard this week to get people to come to church this next week! 

So how to begin the week... well it totally started out with bunch of financial stuff to do like getting money for all the zone leaders, paying some rents, and reembolsing a bunch of people! Pretty cool to do stuff i guess haha! In the field we seriously found so many people to teach! That is definitly a blessing we have here in Villa Belgrano! The hard thing is that these people are a little hard to find again... its like we find them and then they disappear! We are in a constant game of "Hide and Seek" and everyone knows its a lot easier to hide than it is to seek...

I realized I was in a dangerous area this week when we were teaching a few kids in the street. All of a sudden we heard some guy let off 5 gun shots repeatedly less than 2 streets away from us... I turn to the kids and they litterally acted like nothing happened. When we asked if that really was a gun or if it was something else they just played it off like it was nothing. Guns are normal here in the good ole barrio of Sol Naciente apperently hahaha! So  yah good times in this area!

So i was studing this week and I realized something. About a month ago, a member of the Seventy came and told us that if we teach the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and teach it right, our investigadors will beg to be baptized. So i was reading in Mosiah 26 and that is exactly what Alma does! He teaches people how to repent and to have faith in Jesus Christ and it was so powerful that all the people wanted to be baptized! The Atonement really is the most powerful thing in the world! I am so thankful for the Atonement and the opportunity it gives me to start fresh every day! There is no greater happiness that one can recieve than from the Atonement! I invite all of you to take advantage of the sacrifice the Jesus Christ did for us! Use the Atonement of Jesus Christ in your lives and you will all be happier!

I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week! Hope to hear from you all!
