Greetings from Argentina!
Everything is good here in Argentina! Cinthia
gave the opening prayer in Sacrament Meeting yesterday! She wasn´t even a
member yet because she got confirmed afterwards! How great! She says she wants
to serve a mission! I’m so excited for her! Also, her mom and siblings always
come to church and want to follow Cinthia. They just have to work with her dad.
I say they because--surprise: I'm not in Congreso anymore! I left and arrived
yesterday in Caballito (kah-bah-shee-toe), my new area. Transfers aren’t until
next week but her in Caballito there was a sister waiting for her visa to
Mexico and it came, so I left Congreso and came here with my new companion,
Hermana Sanchez from Guatemala. It wasn’t too much of a surprise because I was
with the Sister Training leaders in Congreso, and they always know everything
that’s happening because President always talks with them. Caballito is still in
the city, but there aren’t as many tall buildings everywhere, so we are in the
sun a bit more, which I love! Everything is good so far. Hermana Sanchez is a
bomb missionary! I have a lot to learn from her!
I don’t really know all of the investigators
yet so that part of the email will have to wait until next Tuesday (transfer
p-day). There is one I know, Janet, who has a baby girl and a drunk husband who
we are trying to help. She is very humble and will be baptized next Sunday.
Her situation in life breaks my heart. In the house where she lives they all
drink, and it’s a horrible atmosphere to raise a child. But the Gospel can
help! The Gospel ALWAYS helps! That’s what a lot of people don't understand;
they don´t grasp that by healing the spiritual and strengthening the spiritual
side, the blessings we receive help the temporal. There is no better was to
succeed in the world than to succeed as a child of God. It makes me eternally grateful for my family
and you and Dad who are faithful and strong and raised me and Caitlin and
Michael right. Also I am incredibly grateful for the Gospel, for my life, and
my future, AND the opportunity I have now to help people here have the same
opportunities.
Well that´s all I’ve got this week. Missing
Congreso but looking forward to Caballito!
Love you!!!
Hermana Arntsen
