Another Letter :)


Hey family! how are you doing?

   Sounds like you all had a really busy week! We have had a good week here too! It has been hotter than crap here and I am jealous of the snow you have at home!! Well this week really was good! Monday we had a great P day to relax and write the family, we also had a really good lesson in the night with Brenda who was going to get baptized on Saturday but we had to change her baptism for this Saturday the 17th. Tuesday we had an okay day but almost all of the plans we had fell through and that was a pooper. We still found some people and got to teach some lessons so it was all okay! Wednesday was about the same, but Thursday we had no fixed appointments so we decided to go to a certain neighborhood and try to find some people and talk to a couple less active families, we were in the siesta so almost everyone was asleep or in the house and didn't want to talk. but we keep going to houses of people we kind of knew and it turned out that we found a lot of new people to teach! We talked to one person, taught them, and after they gave us a reference to go to another neighbor and we taught them, then after that they gave us a reference to talk to another family and we taught them! In the end we taught and found 8 new investigators and it ended up being a great day lead by the Spirit! Friday we did exchanges with Elder A and Brenda had her baptism interview! The best part is.. Brenda quit smoking!!! We had to work with her a ton and we have been going to their house everyday to help her and teach them a little bit more. But she quit smoking!! We gave her a blessing like 2 weeks ago to help her quit smoking and she went from smoking 30 cigarrets to 3 in like 2 days!! It was amazing! She has been progressing so fast and she really has a testimony of what we teach! Then the rest of the week was pretty normal but Saturday we went to Sebastian's house (a recent convert and Brenda is his wife) and we helped him clean up his yard and cut down weeds and fix a bench and Elder O and I welded the bench... haha it was really fun! Then when we were finished we talked to him for a little bit and drank some coke and then we left. It was a fun morning! We have been having a lot of success lately and our "Fast" to find families really worked! The Lord is blessing us a ton! Sunday we had 3 investigators come to church and we were so excited!! Oh I have 2 crazy stories of the week!! One day this week we were walking down the sidewalk and there was a guy asleep on the sidewalk snoring!!!  We tried to wake him up to see if he was okay but he couldn't wake up! We yelled at him and I shook his chest but he was just out of it!!! We then realized he was super drunk so we knocked on the closest door and asked the guy who lived there if he could call the cops, so he did and the cops came and yelled at the guy a bunch and one cop put his boot on the guys chest and shook the crap out of him and he finally woke up and they took him away in the cop car and we laughed about it later that night. Then last night we were walking home and on the same street in almost the same spot there was a guy sitting down with 2 people around him. We asked if he was okay but he said his stomach was hurting really bad and told us to call an ambulance. So the other 2 people, a young couple, called the ambulance and then the guy passed out on the side walk!! We tried to help him out to not fall in the ditch and I put my backpack under his head to help him, but after like 5 minutes he started having a seizure!! Luckily He had my backpack under his head because his seizure was way bad! Finally the ambulance came and took the guy away in the ambulance but before it came we took out his wallet to try to find out if he had a name so we could give him a blessing but he had nothing in his wallet. It was a crazy experience!!!
Any way,  Argentina is crazy! I love it here though and I am pretty sure that in a week from Wednesday I am going to be transferred to another area! We will see though!! Well family I love you! Your prayers help a ton! Remember to pray personally too! Hope you have a great week!!!

        Love, Talon
