Another week in Bella Vista!

Mon., 7/16/2018 (Luque)

Well I'll be pretty short as there isn't much time! We had a good week this week as usual! Here are a couple of highlights:

1. We got a copy of the Ward Directory. 28 pages of legal paper.... there's a literal BOOK of members just in Bella Vista!

2. I got to have a division with Elder Ollero, from Peru. I've had a few divisions with him before, and this one was really good!

3. Of the 4 speakers assigned for Sacrament Meeting, all 4 didn't show up, so Elder Alvarado and I both gave talks. It was his first on-the-spot talk on the mission, but he did a really good job!

4. Our AC broke, but luckily we have a fan and it's the middle of winter here so I think we'll cope! hahaha

5. Honestly sometimes in the mission you just work and have lessons and that was this week.

6. One of our investigators, a young mother named Paola, came to church yesterday and is super excited to get baptized, so watch out for that!

That's pretty much it! We are doing good here in Bella Vista! I did want to share a scripture real quick: D&C 58:42-43. I gave a talk about the Sacrament and Atonement of Christ, and among other things used the example of the bread as showing how Christ didn't just suffer a pain or something general like that, he suffered specifically for every single one of us, and that suffering was different as we all are different. Nobody is perfect, but we all are united in the fact that we need Christ. That's why I'm here,because many people don't know who they are (Children of God) and why they are here. We missionaries are here to help them learn that and help them become happier! Thanks for all the emails and prayers! I love you all!
