Week 57 - Bariloche


This Sunday the elders had an investgator in church named Elena. She has been coming to church for a while and will be baptized in a couple of weeks. i LOVE her because she makes me feel like Im in the Baton Rouge ward. She shared ALLLLLLLLLLLLL about how her husband left her and about her eye pain that she has every morning and that despite all of these trials, she has always been loyal to HER church the catholic church. SO FUNNY! I died laughing the whole time (inside). I felt very at home. Its been a while since Ive heard way too personal experiences or falso doctrine and stuff. Good time. 

Paola, the mom of one of the families we found last week dropped us this week. It was really REALLY sad. She doesnt want to go to church because shes afraid her baby daddy will leaev her. She WANTS to get married and fllow god and the commandments but the father of her chirldren doesnt and she is stuck between being a sinlge mom with the church or a woman with the afther of her children, but in contrary to the commandmants of god. We testified that she would NEVER be alone and that as she drew herself closer to christ, she might pass through hard things, but only blessings and the plan that God has for her, the better plan, would be the road shed end up on. It would be better for her children and her family and she does not know the miracles that god has in store until she acts because God is all powerful and all knowing and can change hearts and lives. She just has to trust in hime. She still told us not to pass by anymore with tears in her eyes. It was a hard day. Because aftert that, in the bus to go to the pension, we saw a big car accient. The police directed the bus to cut off the road so we were there seeing the hwole thing for a hwile. So sad. There was a woman that they were butting in one of those stretch boards and there were firemen and medics running all over the place. I felt peaceful for 2 things. 1st, the plan of salvation. 2nd: Ive seen Greys anatomy and I knew kind of what was going on and that the woman was in serious condition and the children in the car were fine because they had medics talking to them in the window of the car. 
After, hermana ventura and I turned to the other and both said we have to find that family. 
Today in the fabric store, the woman was talking to her friedn about how her friend had been in a car accident this weekend and she was destraught. We talked to her and turns out she never works in the fabric store in the mornings but today she switched shifts. We talked to her. It was a miracle to find her! 
It was a good week alll in all. 
We did excvhanges with the sisters from San MAartin this week. I love them! Sister correa and sister nieto. 
Love, Hermana Sant
