Week 77

This week was a great bounce back from the last week we had! Things seemed to go a little smoother and we were really able to see the Lord guiding us! We found so many great people this week that really need the Gospel in their lives! We were walking one day and we decided to talk to a younger girl about our age. It turns out that she had talked to the missionaries years ago, has gone to church and even went to a few baptisms! She was super nice and we were able to share a little bit with her! Then we invited her to pray before we let and in her prayer she thanked God for the help He gave her after the hard week she had last week. We have no idea what happened last week, but I know the Lord sent us this week to help her overcome whatever it is that she is going through! 

We also found a young kid that had gone to church years ago in a place called Rivera, on the other side of Uruguay and he is ready to start coming to church again and get baptized! We also ran into a young single mom and she was really open to having us teach her and her kids! She has gone through a lot as a single mom, but knows that God loves her and has helped her! 

It is great here in Uruguay! Right now we got hit with a bunch of super hot days, but it should be getting colder here pretty soon! Love y'all!

Hey Ma! This week was good. We haven´t gotten bit in a while so I think we got them all haha! I can´t believe Brook got in to BYU haha! Transfers are next week and I will most likely be staying. Elder Anampa has been here longer than I have. That is awesome that you guys went to the baptism! I never really thought about it before the mission, but it is important that there are people at baptisms because it helps the convert feel loved and creates a nice connection between us and them! Sounds like a great experience!  This week was good! We bounced back from last week and it really tired me out. This week I was pretty dead every morning haha! 

LOve ya!
