Buenas Tardes!!!!
Como andan ustedes? Bien? Bueno Bueno. This week flew
by extremely fast, just like they normally do. We work really hard
everyday, planting seeds and moving dirt around in the Lord`s vineyard. Maybe
I`ll be part of the harvest at some point of my mission, but not right
now. I`m absolutely fine with it. Someones gotta do the dirty work,
right? And that`s what I like... a challenge. hahaha We had some good
experiences this week. We got a new investigator! Whooooo! That is a
miracle all in itself haha Her name is Marcela and she recently moved
here to Esperanza. She has spoken with missionaries before and she likes
the Church! Bueno. We taught her the Restoration and she wants to be
baptized! Bueno. She made us delicious coconut, dulce de leche
treats! Muy Bueno. And just like every other Argentine she is
juntada. Malo. People here just don`t see the importance of
getting married para nada. Its really sad. The family is the most
important thing on this earth and it all starts with Marriage! Listen up
all you kids out there.... Get married. (By kids I mean my older sister
Brittney;) haha Anyway.... Que estoy diciendo? Estoy loco la
mayorìa del tiempo, perdonenme. Also, we eat lunch with Branch President
Spies every week, and this time he asked us `What brings you guys the most
joy?` We responded with two things. 1. We have the most joy when we
are in the service of others. When we are in the service of our fellow
men we are only in the service of our God. Service brings the spirit and
peace. Christ just served his whole life. What a great example for
all of us. 2. The Atonement brings joy. I invite you all to
read Alma 36, because Alma`s testimony of the Atonement is amazing. There
is Hope through Christ! We can be clean again, our burden`s can be
lifted, and we can return to live with our Heavenly Father all through the
Atonement. THAT is JOY. Pues, queridos I hope you enjoy the last
few days of the best month of the year, September. and Happy Birthday to
Aunt Cara this week!!!! I hope you all enjoy conference next week too!
I`m so excited. My testimony of a living prophet to lead us and guide us
has grown a ton. He speaks on behalf of our Savior! The church is
true everyone. Love you all.
Love,
Elder Maynard
