This week we basically lived in Concepcion. We had meetings and conferences and meetings and interviews and conferences and today we have an activity so Im reporting to you live from Concepcion. Concepcion is about an hour from Horqueta so weve had a grand old time sleeping on the collectivo and in the back of the Cranneys truck.
This week I have great news! We found a family, the Familia Nocera! We were originally teaching the wife, but she started to lose interest until one day we passed when she was with her esposo... And her esposo was really really interested and read three chapters of the book of mormon and declared that it was ¨identical to the bible and therefore must be true¨ hahahah oookaay so weve been teaching them and we feel the spirit really strong in their house. We always end their lessons with a prayer of knees..... kneeling prayer alli esta and its really beautiful. The men here arent always.... interested in the gospel or in anything actually so its been cool to see a dad who acts like a dad. I joke with Hermana Martinez that we are teaching the next branch president.
Speaking of the branch president, it rained every day this week. I think it wastuesday that the water came up to our knees in the streets and we just walked through it like come at me bro rain doesnt stop the missionaries of the Lord! Hhahahha all the people stop and stare at us. I would stare too I guess. :D
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have no funny stories this week. Weve been talking a lot about the Atonement. It literally was the only way to put us in a completely free state. Where we are free to choose exactly what we want -- liberty and eternal life or captivity and death. Seems pretty obvious when you put it that way, I always thought--- but the nature of the thing is that Jesus Christ can make the conditions of the grace of the Atonement anything He wants which is why its SO important to repent!!! SO IMPORTANT. IMPORTANTISIMO. Jesus loves us so so much and only wants whats best for us.
Well I love all of you, enjoy your leap year and almost spring! Its getting chilly here, we sleep without the air conditioning on now. :]
