1 YEAR. Good comes from God. Bad comes from the devil.

On the 16th it will be the 1 year mark from the time I stepped foot in the MTC. The time really does go so fast. This week our investigator in a wheelchair Suzana came to church for the second time and she seems really excited to be baptized. She is stopping smoking as well and is making progress.

 

We are also working hard to help Agustin and Michael to be a little more excited for their baptism their mom was sick again this week and was not able to come to church.

 

There is also a lady who we went to her house and offered to help her make bread. She has a little oven and a cool machine to roll the dough out and we helped her roll it into breadsticks. helping her out in the back room of her house made me realize why it's probably a better idea to buy bread from a bread store than from someone that sells it in the street for cheap.

 

Also we had a ward activity for the nueve de Julio. It was supposed to start at 12 we were going to eat at 1230. We also didn't have very good plans but wanted to bring Suzana to the activity. We were in the church already for a zone meeting from 9 to 12 we tried to take some pictures and then we helped set up the activity. We got a member to drive us out to where Suzana lives to help her get to church and we left to help get her at about 1. we got back at 130 and ate for an hour (yep it started an hour late) and then we had to leave. We then had our normal afternoon studies and then we went out and worked. We were so glad to be out of the church building and were super tired when we went out to work that night.

Huge triple combination 

Sunday I gave another talk in church. I've given plenty of talks on my mission, but this one was rather special. President Franco was there. I talked on the Faith and I think it was okay. President didn't interview me afterward to give me tips so it must have passed.

 

In the end it was a good week.

 

I have been reading in the book Jesus the Christ also. I have read a little bit every day for a while now and am getting toward the end. I read today about the last supper, Christ's suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and also the very illegal trial that Christ had with the Jews and the innocence finding trial before the Romans. This has really helped me to grow my faith in Christ and also remember some of the basic things that we all know. Good comes from God. Bad comes from the devil. The devil seeks to destroy us and Christ suffered all the pains the devil seeks to inflict so that we can choose to repent and not suffer that punishment. Such a great sacrifice that He made. How important it is to make these things known to everyone.

Our zone, or part of it, my camera went off a little early.
