60: Enchanted To Meet Youuu
Hola de Funes!!
Is this one of the richest areas I have ever served in? Yes. Does that make it harder to find people who want to change their lives? Yes. But are there really cute stores to buy lots of cute clothes? Also yes. So really it all balances out in the end.
But really, I just got to find the key to finding people to teach in Funes. Our teaching pool is small right now, zero actually. And the tactics I learned in other areas don't seem to work here. So this next week will be some trial and error until we hit our stride here.
The best news though is that I get along great with my companion and we have a lot of fun together. She keeps me laughing all day and is a BEAST with the street contacts.
We had a fun connection from living in Texas and Colorado at different times in our lives. She is probably one of the strongest people I have ever met in my life and the more I hear about her life, the more I am amazed at her testimony.
But I am really excited to get this transfer started, we have great leadership in our zone and really awesome missionaries to work with!! I love being around lots of missionaries who love being missionaries haha.
I will probably have a lot more stories to tell next week when I know the area and the people better, but for this week I'll leave y'all with a quick spiritual thought.
This week I have been reflecting a lot on the enabling and strengthening power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It has honestly saved me this week haha. Anytime I said a little prayer in my heart, I was immediately filled with enough peace to move onward and upward.
Our prayers will be more meaningful and our testimony of the Savior will grow stronger if we ask for the strength and patience to endure trials instead of asking for them to be removed. If God gives us a test, it's because He knows we can face it. And He gave us His Son to do it too.
I love y'all. I love this Gospel. I love Christ!!

I felt like some fotos needed an explanation haha:
-those geese were literally murderous
-found ACTUAL pizza, almost cried of joy
-the pension here has a mosquito problem and despite my best efforts, they eat my face every single night so every morning I get to put on anti itch cream in increasing amounts
-a really cute dog came and joined me for language study in a plaza one day, but this is the only foto I could get with him.
