como andan!!??!
HAPPY
ANNIVERSARY PEEPS!! Thats soo cool you had your anniversary this week.because I got thinking.. the main lesson weve been teaching last week..
was MATRIMONIO!! I LOVE PREACHING ABOUT MARRIAGE! Our main desafio
en nuestro area is that NO ONE, not even their dogs,or the dogs children, want to get married.
Yesterday I bore my testimony about how thankful I am that I have two
parents that were married. They knew that it wasnt gonna be perfect, but they put in their trust and did it! It really is a big beautiful symbol of our
relationship with God. When we are baptized we know we are not gonna be
perfect but we take a giant courage pill and go for it. :) It shows a
lot of courage and confidence in the relationship:) AND I had forgotten it was your guys anniversary!
DAN CLARK skyped us in a reunion we had with the missionaries that
are leaving this transfer and the next. He told the most inspiring story
and it got me sooo excited to keep going and keep working! :) He said
when he had 3 months he was put with the ap and they went to open this
area. The ap had a goal to have a baptism (no one had baptized in his
mission) so they worked sooooooooo hard that whole transfer and shared
the Book of Mormon with everyone! His comp went home with 0 baptisms.
BUT the next week Dan and his new comp had a second visit with somone
that had found in the last transfer and this guy ended up getting
baptized ALONG WITH 13 OTHER PEOPLE. ahhhh isnt that amazing! It all
started with this ap and his goal to work hard and find people to
baptize until the end!! I dont know why but i feel like God had
something prepared for me this next transfer:) IM
PUMPED!!
This morning i was studying in John 13 when Jesus is washing his disciples feet. verse 14 struck me sooo hard:
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
Think
about it.. if Jesus... who knows our dirty feet perfectly and washes
them.. we should do the same to others. Get crouched down on your knees and see people on
their lowest level and really try to understand and love them. Look at
their imperfections and love them and serve them anyway and LOVE THEM
TO CHRIST. When we truly feel this freeing feeling that our feet have been
washed.. we need to stand up and find feet that havent experienced this
clean and free feeling. :) Jesus taught us that when we are converted
we need to strengthen our brethern. I HAVE TASTED the sweet taste of the
atonement and have felt the peace that comes when Jesus forgives me of
my sins. Its my honor these next two months,. to go and find dirty
feet.. get down and wash them with the help of the grace of Jesus
CHrist. :) Feets kindof on my mind lately. Have I mentioned my feet are killing me? Oh yah, lots of times. ;)
I love Argentina. I love ALL the people and their AMAZING accent. I love the crazy
drunk guys we see every day. I LOVE AND WILL SO MISS the crazy parrots that always say hi
to us and whistle at us, ITS THE BEST. I love the blazing hot sun and the humidity. I

everyone in Rincon call me Terry. I love asado. I love the murgas that
go on in our area and love walking on the street to the beat of their
drums. I love being able to feel the spirit. I love the pretty sunsets
of Argentina. They take your breath away. Ii love the crazy kids and that run in the street half
naked and dirt all over their face with the biggest smiles. Its pure joy. I love the
humble people in my area. I love talking and laughing with my comp. I
love it when she teaches me latin dances. I love the members and interestingly enough I love all
their drama. :) Yip they got it over here too. I love smiling 24 hours in the day( me and Elf).
