Fun news this week! Round TWO of rabies shots went well and we´re getting a new companion today! Hermana George is coming up and we´ll be a trio for my last three weeks.
We live in the 8th floor of our apartment building and its SPICY up there. It´s springtime here and 105 degrees every day. Summertime it gets up to 125 degrees, pray for us haha. The city is buzzing here at 6.30 in the morning but once it hits noon every one starts heading inside to gear up for the hottest part of the day. From about 1 pm to 5:30 pm it´s pretty dang hard to get stuff done because everyone´s eating lunch and then sleeping to get out of the heat. It´s super big here in Argentina, they call it the siesta. So we´ve been absolutely cooking just out beating the streets at 3:30 pm looking under rocks for people to talk to. But I love it! I´m getting a wicked farmer´s tan!
I´m typing on a super janky computer so it´s kinda hard to type. So this might be short, but I was super amazed this week to be reached out to by so many inactive members of the church wanting to come back. It´s super awesome seeing people who have received spiritual confirmations and have fallen away reconnect with those experiences they had. It´s a crazy spectrum of dedication to the gospel here. Those that are faithful members are FAITHFUL and those that aren´t just aren´t! I feel like there´s not much in between.
But we´re out here with our ward La Rioja and branch La Quebrada and up to our necks with work. Lets gooooo!
Luke Chapter 12 really touched me this week. Here in Argentina the economy is having some troubles and it´s a big stress causer here for almost everyone. This chapter is an example that it´s not the material things but the spiritual things that matter. Putting our lives in line before God and preparing ourselves here to be with Him again there.
Verse 34 says ¨For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.¨
I pray that we can lay up our treasures in heaven now.
Love you guys!
