This week was pretty exciting. We had quite a bit of miracles and saw a lot of progression here in the area. My companion and I realized, that if we are going to find the people that God is preparing for us, that we literally need to talk to EVERYONE. When our appointments fall through, or we don`t have anything to do, we literally have been talking to EVERYONE in our sight. We saw the blessings from doing so, and saw that the Lord now has more trust in us when on sunday, a member comes up to us and says "Hey elders, we found a guy outside of the hospital that stopped us and said he wants to change his life. Come with us and we`ll present him to you." So we went and talked to this man and he told us that he has had a really hard life, and result of that is that he goes to alcohal and drugs to solve his problems. So we talked to him for a bit and explained to him the importance of baptism, and invited him to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized. He accepted, and we are now goign to start working with him to leave his addictions behind, and follow his savior! Also, this week ELDER HOLLAND came to our mission for a mission conference! Well it was with all the buenos aires missions! But still, it was so awesome! It was like a dream come true to be able to see him in person and hear his voice. Like I told dad, I`ve never been so excited to hear someone yell. haha. It was really cool. The thing that most hit me was when he said that he really believes that were are the people who are most prayed for in the entire planet. He also said that we are Apostolic in this moment. The most powerful thing was when he said, "You guys are doing the same thing I do every day! From the minute I wake up in the morning until the minute I go to bed, I`m trying to figure out how I can save a human soul!" Just imagine that in Elder Holland`s yelling with the spirit voice!! SUPER POWERFUL :) It really helped em to understand the importance of my calling. I know that everyday, I need to be thinking in the same thing. Not only as a missionary, but always, for my entire life! I love this gospel, and I know that it`s true. I know that this is the only place where we can find true hapiness! The way the Lord gives it to us, is through His scriptures! I love you all! Have a great week! READ AND PRAY EVERY DAY!!!! Love, Elder Always Tired.
