What up everybody?!
Was conference freaking amazing or what?? We are super stoked to have prophets on the earth and we testifying all week so people would come. Jimmy, the kid we found a week and a half ago got baptized and we are so happy. Super prepared. He´s 18 and he´s thinking about serving a missionary. Jimmy Tom Jones, what a name for a Peruano haha.
Alright so I loved so many of the talks from this conference. Elder Oaks was incredible, I loved how much they talked about the sanctity of marriage and women. Elder Christofferson´s talk about women was amazing too. How the women are ostracized and denegrated (not sure if that is a word in english) here in Argentina. And marriage is a joke here too. I´m so grateful that we have prophets, seers, and revelators here on the earth, aren´t you? We haven´t seen the priesthood session yet but I heard that it was awesome. The missionaries can´t watch it because it is shown here at 9 at night.
Funny story, we invited one of our investigators to conference and he came! His name is Richmond, is from Africa, and is from the Seventh-day Adventist church and he brought 2 boxes of books from his church to share with everybody. It was super funny, a little awkward, especially when some of the members wanted to argue with him. Who is the father of contention again? Oh...that´s right. Last night we talked to him about authority and he accepted a baptismal date in two weeks! Woohoo we are excited.
We are working so much more effectively. We started focusing a lot more on having members in each and every one of our lessons and we did it this week! 30 lessons with members and 0 other lessons taught! We are really happy and should be accomplishing our goals of baptizing weekly.
We are so grateful for the blessings that God is giving us. We feel like the clouds have broken and we are literally drenched in miracles.
Oh and did you guys notice, I´m sure you did, the girl in the family choir who was just giving it her all haha. We were laughing about that for a while. Us missionaries found a room upstairs in the chapel and watched it in english and it was so much better to hear their voices instead of a translator. Alright, this letter is bastante long already. I love you all! Study the talks like Elder Hales said! Chau chau!
Love,
Elder Wardle
