Yet another beautiful week in freezing Argentina! Have I said I´m SO GLAD to have wool tights? Cuz I am!

So this week was really cool! We went to pick up lunch from a member and as we shared our spiritual message with her, we asked her if she had any friends or neighbors that she thought would be willing to listen. She took us over to meet her friend, we set up a lesson and things were great! So we met with this lady two times this week, and she is so amazing. She gave the prayer in the first lesson and it was so sweet and she just started crying! So then the next lesson we talked about the importance of baptism. Well right before we invited her to be baptized, another member walked in and joined us Just in time to hear her response--she´s terrified of water. Well that member also is terrified of water, and was able to bear testimony of how the Lord helped her in her baptism not be scared at all, and how she just felt like she was flying in the clouds the entire time. It was such a cool experience! Everything worked out perfectly for this lady to feel the Spirit and receive the help that she needed.

 So we had a fun activity at zone training. where we were playing soccer (righteous vs satan) and the righteous only won when finally President reminded us that with faith, we can bind Satan in our hearts and lives. (1 nephi 22:26). SO Elder Hanson (aka faith and righteousness) bound satan and we won! YAY

How can you bind Satan in your lives? The primary knows the way! Read your scriptures, go to church, and pray! Can I also add bearing your testimony, thats a great way too! But seriously though, we need all three things to keep us watchful and avoid temptation. There’s so many people that think they don{t need church in their lives but it is so not true! It is a commandment of the Lord! And so it is very important. As we attend church, we receive strength by the word of God, we worship our Lord and Redeemer, we renew our covenants, and we can serve our fellow man and our God. If I could, I would live in the church, I love it so much! There is such a special Spirit in the chapel. How can you prepare yourself to partake in the blessings of church this week?

 Hope you all have a great day! Keep smiling!
