Bus Adventure

Well we had a crazy week! We went to Neuquen twice to try to renew my companion's visa. The first time, we came, they waited three hours in line, and ended up not being able to do anything. So we had to go back. It´s fun going to Neuquen though. I got to help out for a little bit in the office! There are so many missionaries working in the office now it is CRAZY. 

But now we´re back, safe and sound. And my companion is not illegal. YAY! We´re definitely tired but...Miracles are happening everywhere! Sometimes I am amazed by what the Lord can do with such a weak instrument in His hands. 

  Also this week, we received amazing referrals from our members! It has been hard finding time to contact them all, and oddly enough, none of them were home for the returned citas. But this week, we found the contacts whose lessons had fallen and learned that they had really been waiting for us to come teach them, and we had the wrong address for them! It was a miracle that we were able to find them again walking through the streets, and it was a blessing to hear that they really were ready and waiting for us. I am so excited to go and teach them this week! 

As we contacted one of the referrals, we were running super late and had two other lessons before going to a noche de hogar. (I totally googled that.. it means Home Evening.. so a family home evening.  Family home evening is where you set a time and as a family you have a lesson, can play a game and have treats.) So we tried to have a short lesson, but he had so many questions about Joseph Smith, we had to stay and answer them! In my mind, I thought it was honestly probably the worst first lesson I´ve ever had...but at the end he said ¨I understand now. It all makes sense. You´re saying that he recieved the SAME authority as the apostoles.¨ We asked if we could come back and teach him more about it another time, and he said he would love that. What a miracle that he was able to feel the Spirit!!! Also this week, we had a first branch FHE! (family home evening) What fun! Only four people came, but that four held everyone! Presidente Barrerra, a member, a less active, and a non member! It was so great! I´m excited for the future ones too, hopefully even more people can come!

Anyways, I hope you all have a great week! Just gotta keep your head up, with patience and faith comes the miracles. Look for them everyday.

We got 2 emails this week because she forgot some things:

Man I forgot the best part of travelling! So we left for Neuquen (for the second time) at 8 sunday night. we took a little bus to villa regina, where we could take the big double decker with comfy seats to neuquen. But when we got to villa regina, there were no more seats left on the double decker! So we had to take the little bus that stops EVERYWHERE to go back through Huergo, make a circle and end up in Roca, where we could change to another little bus that would take us to Neuquen. Well so we were on the way to Neuquen and I was getting a little bus sick and doing my best to sleep, when our bus stopped. Everybody off! Yelled the bus driver. Appartently, this bus didn´t go all the way to the terminal. So we asked him how far away we were from the terminal and he said 1 kilometer, but it´s too dangerous to walk there, especially this time of night (midnight if you were wondering). So we got kicked off the bus and dropped off in a park somewhere in Neuquen. Luckily, we have amazing Elders here in this mission that were staying up waiting for us to come to the terminal, so we were able to call them and have them come pick us up! And then we stayed the night with some hermanas in the area, and in the morning were up and ready to go renew some visas! It was quite an adventure but we were so blessed to have the protection of the Lord.
