Hola, hola, hola!!
Oh my goodness weeks go by super fast...yet slow at the same time. It's weird. More fast than slow though. We have seen soooo many miracles this week, it is amazing. It's really hard to explain, but these miracles are such tender mercies from the Lord. We have one investigator Franklin...ya I know it's enlish...but whatever lol he hasn't smoked for a week! He also fasted with us so yesterday to have sunday off to be able to come to church. He said he will. He is like changing his whole life because he just wants to be better. (p.s. he is from Honduras) He hates fish but is eating it now, he is cutting out fats, he stopped smoking, he is actually drinking water now hahaha, and he is doing the P90X or whatever it's called. He says he feels good. It's awesome to see the change in his countanace. I hope he can come to church, he even said he was going to cut his hair hahaha. Sad part about yesterday though, Hna Busch's tires (both of them) got stolen. AH seriously. OH but great news, I am borrowing a bike from an elder in an english ward since he is in car. It is huge and super nice!!! I was sooo excited!!! Oh it ridessss sooo nice. So on a happy note, I got a bike, on a sad note, now people are going to rob us. We locked our bikes up inside the apt complex even. That's like$140 since it's a road bike. so today we are going to try to figure something out, because we can't go to our citas because we can't get there fast enough. We'll see how this plays out. When we were standing there looking at the bike, we were just laughing so we wouldn't cry. We need to ghettofy the bikes. They we starting on my back tire...because it was loose. We used 2 locks, but we are going to buy another one. That is why I didn't want to buy a bike...knowing that it would be really likely to be stolen. But there is opposition in all things. As we were starring at the bikes, this women came to talk to us...probably mid 40's and she lives in the complex. She said that she was going to help pay for the tires because that is wrong and a violation. So we thought okay probably 50 bucks...and she was like I'll chip in $200 if that will cover it. Opposition in all things. It was crazy to see that though bad occured, there really are great people in the world like this woman. There is no way that Hna Busch will let her give her that money, but it was nice to see that someone that doesn't have that much, was willing to help us. She said "I see you girls around the complex going around doing good things." People are always watching. in Preach My gosple it tells us to have a 24/7 smile. Do yo uknow how hard that is??? Do you?? Try it okay? All of you SMILE all day no matter how you feel. :-)
Gerardo, is anothing miracle, but he is confusing all at the same time. He used to smoke 40 cigarretts a day, and now 2-5. It has only been a week and that is awesome!!!! He is doing soo awesome....but here is the confusing part, a lot of the time he is cancel our citas, and it's annoying, but if we just go by we have such a good lesson. At the end, we kneel and HE gives the prayer, and it is the more sincer prayers that he gives. He always blesses our families. It's tender, and he prays for our protection. I think sometimes it's just hard for him to think that he can quit. That it is just TOO hard. That he cannot do it. He has smoked since he was 11 YEARS OLD! Can you believe that?? yeah. He has improved so much. His baptismal date is the 1st of April. We really want him to make it. He is a really good young man too. I think he is just scared.
Another investigator Maria finally made it to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scriptures I like:
2Ne:30- What a good partening scripture. Think about it.
1Ne22:26- Satan will have NO POWER over the righteous. We must strive to be more righteous then huh? :-)
2Ne4:35- Oh my goodness I love this. Seriously. Read it. As liberally and it will be given to you. Ponder that.
There is a talk that I want to read sometime "The Spirit Giveth Life" by Pres. Monson, read it if you have the chance.
"It is not hard to make choices when you know what your values are" (Roy Disney).
It has been a really good week filled with miracles. It is super awesome to see. I appreciate so much the prayers and the love that I can feel. Thanks for not forgetting about me :-) I love you all so much and I pray that I may be a better missionary each day. Remember as you go throughout your day that you are no more important compared to the person next to you. "Remember the worth of souls in great in the sight of God." Serve others, and be happier.
I love you all so much, it's hard to describe.
cuidanse.
con amor,
Hna. Argüello
