This week was interesting. At the start, it was really dificult. It seemed like no one wanted to talk to us, and a lot of our investigators had lost interest in the Church. We worked really hard all week, and nothing was going right. But yesterday made it all worth it. There is a part member family here that is really cool. Two members of the family are baptized and active in the church. The parents are not members. The Mom wants to be baptized really bad, but her "husband" doesn´t want to get married, so she cant be baptized. They have a son who is older and lives with another girl, but for the longest time they had absolutely no interest in the church. He smoked, drank, and did not believe very much in God. His name is Leonardo. Then last week, out of nowhere, he went to church with his mom and sisters, so that was cool. They were at church yesterday too. We visited this family yesterday, and Leonardo and his girlfriend were there, which was really awesome, but when we entered the house, I had to face my biggest challenge yet as a missionary... THEY WERE WATCHING THE HOBBIT! AND THEY ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO WATCH IT WITH THEM! Obviously I said no, but it was not easy. But it was worth it, because Leonardo and his girlfriend Paula opened up to us. They shared some experiences that helped them know that God exists. He has stopped smoking and drinking all by himseld, and they want to get married and baptized. It was pretty cool.
Transfers tomorrow. My companion got transfered, so I get a new one tomorrow! Hopefully he will be cool. I´m glad that I get to stay in Venâncio Aires. It´s an awesome city.
Thanks everyone!
Sincerely,
Elder Day
