One of the best and one of the hardest weeks

Well this was the best week ever for many reasons and the hardest week ever more many reasons! So lets start out from the beginning! So this week we worked so hard to prepare the 4 people for their baptism! Bruno, Gilda, Flavia, and Enzo! And wow, Sunday was an amazing day! 4 more baptisms to finish the transfer! Seriously we were so blessed this transfer! We always had people to teach and many people wanted to be baptized! it was great! The baptisms were all great! Tons of ´people were there to support them!   

So this week was one of the hardest because I am leaving the office!  I have been transferred to a new area called San Vicente as a Zone Leader! And my comp is one of my best friends here in the mission! Elder Bunker!!! I am so stoked! Its going to be so much fun!!!!! We are going to work so hard in this new area!! But now lets get to why this week was so hard...
So I have been here for 6 months now, this has been my favorite area easily! I love all people here in this area! The members are awesome but especcially all the people I have met in the area! I have learned how to love people here in this area! A type of love that is honestly hard to devolpe for some people! But i have learned how to have the pure love of christ for all the people that I have taught and helped! So last night I said my goodbyes to everyone in the area! And it was so hard! Im going to miss them all! The hardest goodbyes were Flia Frontera which is the family that I have been with for 5 months now, and Flia Juncos, the family of Carla, Carlos, and Jaun Pablo! The 3 youth that were baptized 3 weeks ago! We a huge dinner with Flia Juncos to finish off the night! It was so good! And during the dinner, The mom, Soledad, started to speak and thank us for eveything we have done and what not and we started to all just say our "last words" and it was so hard! I have never felt to heart broken in my life having to leave them to go to a new area! I really do love this family so much and am so happy to see them progress in the church! They are the best!

Well i love you all! I am super excited to get to a new area! I am super excited to leave the office and have all the time in the area to help the people! I know that my Heavenly Father called me here to Córdoba and he keeps calling me to each area that I go to! I love the mission so much and so happy to be here! Love you all and I hope you have a great week! Sorry for the really long email hahaha

BEST WEEK EVER!!!

Well this week was like the best week ever!!!!! 
So lets start with why! :)
So for almost 5 months now Vaz and I have been teaching Familia Frontera! This a part member family! The parents are members and one of the daughters and the majority of them have been coming to church now for the past 4 months! But the enitre time we have been teaching, the dad and mom have always said that their daughter Azul, whos 9 years old, is not ready to be baptized. We have had some arguments here and there with this topic and have tried to help them for the longest time to understand that yes she is but nothing was working! Finally now after almost 5 months we had a great lesson with the Dad and he let her be baptized! This last Saturday we had her baptism and the whole family went as well as the grandparents and some cousins! It was such a beautiful day and a long waited happiness getting to baptize Azul Frontera after so many nights getting to know the family so well and really developing a real Christ Like Love for this family!

So the amazing week doesnt just stop there, we have been teaching 3 siblings that live somewhat close to Familia Frontera for about 3 weeks! Their names are Carla (17) Carlos (14) and Juan Pablo o Juampi (14) They are seriously the coolest kids ever! ever time we pass by they are so happy to see us and so happy to learn! Well this Sunday they also decided they wanted to be baptized! So this weekend was just filled with 4 baptisms! They are so awesome! And are already talking about how they would like to serve a mission when they are old enough! I love them all so much and am so glad I got the chance to teach them and get to know them! I really feel like every family i meet here in Argentina, is another family that I love! I have so much love for all the people

Every week I am here in Argentina I develop more and more love for the people here! The mission really is the best thing for me right now and I love it here! I am so glad I got called to Serve here in Córdoba! I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!!
