Como han estado? How have yall been? I hope the reply is ¨good¨ jaja. If not, things will get better:)
So we had transfers this past week and I got my new companion. Elder Agee completed his two years and is at home now. Mom and dad, yall should look him up on facebook. His name is Justin Agee. Hes a stud! jaja My new comps name is Elder Parke from Santa Cruz California. He used to live in Bainbridge, Washington when he was younger which is pretty cool. He has about a little over a year in the mission. Jajaja he makes me feel old in the mission because he still has about a year left and I just have a couple months. But its all good. He is a stud!! He is a swimmer and swam a little in college before coming out on the mission. We have only had one week together but we are working our tails off and seeing a ton miracles. He is a great example of serving the Lord. Just two months ago his dad passed away but he is still here in the mission going strong. And when I say he is going strong its not an exaggeration. He works hard and teaches with the spirit. I fill lucky to have him as a companion and to be able to learn from him. If you want to throw the Parke family in your prayers Im sure they wouldnt mind.
So the mission here in Neuquen is changing a lot. Whoever, all these changes are for the better. Elder Parke and I are teaching a lot of great people and having great experiences. On Saturday we were looking for people to teach and passed by a house and saw some a family digging a whole outside their house and we stopped and helped them. After helping we taught them about Jesus Christ and that becaused he died for us we can all be baptized and be cleansed of our sins. The mom said that it was too good to be true and before invited her and her family to church she asked if they could come to church with us. We were like OF COURSE!! They couldnt make it to church yesterday but it was still a huge miracle and we have an appointment to go back.
Another cool experience was Elder Parke and I passed by for a less active family where the husband of the family is alcoholic and hits his wife. It is a sad situation. But the last few days I have had that family in my mind and wanted to pass by and see how the wife was doing. Last night we were going to go visit a family but desiced to change plans and go see that family. We went to their house with a member, Hno Walter, and the wife came out to talk with us. She didnt want to let us in without her husband being home which we understood. But we talked with her a little outside to see how she was and to let her know we were thinking about her. That little visit outside may not have solved her situation but I could see her face lit up as we talked to her. We all just need to know someone is thinking of us at times.
I love the mission so much! Thank you all for your prayers. I have a little invitation for everyone....if there is someone that has been coming to your mind in the last few days that you feel like you should call or visit, it would be good to follow those promptings. As you do so I promise the results will be worth it :)
Have a great week!
Love
