So first off, last week on Pday we ate a giant pizza with the Elders! We found a place in the mercado with pizza and milkshakes! I almost cried it was so good! The owner is from New York.
On Monday we had family home evening with the Arroyo Family. We watched the Joseph Smith movie. It was so powerful and all ended up in tears. The last few weeks we have had lots of people talk bad about Joseph Smith, and it was such a powerful evening. We bore our testimonies through our tears about the reality of Joseph Smith. It was a memorable night.
We started teaching tithing with marshmellows! It is ¨super sweet¨!! Everyone loves marshmellows! We also made pie de queso... cheesecake! That was a sweet night! :)
Well this week we met with Christian and Maria, and they officially decided to get married! So this week we went to the Muni to get them and Argentina and Luis appointments, and they don´t have openings until April 8th! Both couples have baptismal dates for the 26th of March. We are praying super hard that we will find an agency or someone who can marry them this week!
Argentina has started to have some problems at work, some people started making fun of her. She almost cried telling us about it, but we were able to, once again, talk about Joseph Smith and how we will always have to stand up for what we believe. And sometimes we stand alone.
This week we made a game with José. We are all trying to be more patient, with one another and other people. Well we took and egg and named it paciencia, and if someone did or said something impatiently, they got the egg, and then they would give it to one of the other 2 if they did something impatient. It was quite humorous as we passed around this egg! We became very aware of our weaknesses.
This week I read the book, Our Search for Happiness by M Russell Ballard. It is such a great book. If you haven´t read it, that is your homework this week! It will bless you. Then share this book with someone that has questions about the church! It is an easy read.
Ponderizing: 4 Ne 1:16. I love this. That there could not be a happier people. I am trying to be as happy as possible. It is a choice, and daily we can choose how happy we will really be. Outside forces don´t have to change our attitude!
Love you all so much!!
