Happy New Year!
I can’t believe it is 2018.
We are doing great and enjoying our time in Buenos Aires. It sure doesn’t seem like it is winter. The temperatures range from 70’s to the
90’s.
It sounds like the US is really having a cold winter.
We are learning our way and getting pretty good at the bus,
subta and driving. There are so many
people most of the time it is easier to use public transportation and
walk. There is very little parking at
the churches. The basketball court
doubles as parking behind locked gates.
They open them for Sundays. Also
have you ever seen churches with doorbells?
We are making wonderful friends and lifelong memories as we
work on bringing souls to repentance and baptism. The people are so happy and the gospel brings
so much happiness to each of them and their families. It’s amazing in the gospel essentials class
on Sunday I counted and there were 35 people in attendance. They have many
questions and the teacher is great. We have 2 sets of missionaries, and 2 sets
of senior couple missionaries. The other
couple with us arrived a month ago. A
young couple he just turned 51 and they sold their business and home and sent
their youngest son on a mission and now they are the new humanitarian couple
missionaries here. Such great energy!
We went to Chinatown
on Saturday. IT is amazing to see all
the stores and the people converge on this area to do their weekly
shopping. We were able to find some
American items. Had Chinese dinner. It was really good.
We are going to teach institute after the pathway program
this week. The teachers are going to be
gone so we are substituting for them.
The Argentine students that take a pathway class have to be able to
speak English well enough to understand as well as take an institute class in
English following. Will be interesting
to meet these students they are working so hard to get an education to better
their lives. Many of the employees here
are working on their English so they can get into the class.
I understand what they are going through but just in
reverse.
Each Monday morning
we have a devotional. Today the Area
Presidency presented our plan focus for the year.
A fin de aumentar
la fe en el Padre Celestial y en Jesucristo
Haz la historia
familiar y adora en el templo
Vive y comparte el
evangelio
Encuentra la delicia
de observer el dia de reposo
Google translate
will help you translate.
Hint, Family-temple, live gospel, observe Sabbath day
Our love and prayers are with you all and appreciate your
love and prayers and messages. It’s
true! Enjoy and take good care of each
other.
Abrazos,
Chinatown, Institute building, Burger King, Mall
