THIS WEEKS EMAILS

HOLA!!!!
Guess what…I am heading off to a new area with a new comp. I can´t even believe it, my stomach is in knots, but I am totally excited. You all know that I LOVE change. I have been with Hna Burns in Juan De Garay for almost 4 months now. I am going to Pergamino which is actually located in the province Buenos Aires, about 6 hours from here. My new comp is Hna Bennion, another gringo. I met her at the women’s conference and I actually had stalked her on facebook before the mish (I was trying to find other girls who where serving in Rosario, oh how I love facebook haha) I was kind of hoping for a native so that I would be forced to always speak Spanish. I guess the Lord is trying to tell me something…I can see how hard it can be working hard the last week of the transfer, especially when you know you’re heading out. We knew at least one of us was going. But we were able to push through the tough moments and work up until the end. We really are sent to work with all our “heart, might, mind and strength,” I am finally starting to feel it, the other day I woke up feeling like I was hit with a truck! There was a HEAT wave this week, which I am not use to. But summer is on its way!!! We started teaching this family that is SUPER evangelical. The church helped them get back together, they are a super sweet young couple and they LOVE talking about God. We taught them the First lesson all about the authority and how there is only one church that has the authority, they didn’t fully understand but they love the Book of Mormon. Patricia said that she knew it was the word of God and how cool it was to be able to compare the bible and the BOM. We invited them to come to church and they promised the next time, then Javier said “but wait, you’re still going to come by even if we don’t go this time right?” I love the book of mormon, you cant deny its divinity!I love you all…I know that this church is true with all my heart. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers!
Keep in touch!

Hey all. WEll another great week out here in Espinal. We are seeing a lot of progress with the referencias that people have given us. It really is so much betterto have a member there present with you, someone who already has all the trust in the world from there friend or relative or neighbor. WE taught Rosy and her fam, and the presidente of the branch and his wife came with us. His spouse is the one who gave her the reference. ANd i could tell just having her there made her feel more comfortable. WE talked about being able to help her in anything around the house she wanted, and she looked at the sister and said, really? what have the done for you. ANd she went on to tell little projects the elders had done over the years, so she accepted our offer and this week were gonna move a ton of humongus rocks out of her house. Service really is the key. I love working, its the thing that keeps my mind here in the mission. And the work is always easier when the members help us. So, being said, References people! get all of the people you know who are willing in lessons with the missionaries! This is GODS church! As pablo said no me averguenzo del evangelio. Do not be ashamed of the true gospel on earth. I will tell i have felt the sorrow of not sharing the gospel with some of my best friends, people i loved and still love as brothers and sisters. I wish i could be teaching them now, but the time, the hour passed. You wont have the chance forever, speak out please! I love you all very much, and like Elder Sanchez said, i´d like some candy. Packages? Im kinda out in the middle of nowhere, 1 15 mins to get peanut butter. Just saying. I hope everyone is doing amazing.
i love yall

Elder Redfern
