"A Heads Up About Great-grandpa"

Elders Moe, Fuentes, Belnap and Simmons

Dec 3, 2018

The Lord gave me a little heads up about Great-Grandpa back in October when I was with Elder Morel. It was on a Sunday and we got to the church way early. We were sitting in the chapel alone. Elder Morel was playing the piano and I was just sitting there listening. For some reason my thoughts started drifting to Great-grandpa Harold; I thought about hugging him goodbye at the airport and I had an impression from the spirit tell me and assure me that I had said a proper goodbye. I almost started crying and I knew I was feeling the spirit. I think Heavenly Father wanted to let me know that He was about to take Grandpa home. He confirmed to me that I had said my goodbye and that everything would be ok. I am so thankful for this experience. I was prepared then and I know it is the will of God. The Lord was ready to take him back. 

The work has been pretty rough here in Belgrano and sometimes is very frustrating, then this impression from the sprit about Greatgrandpa all happened and it was just crazy. But I remember Elder Morel telling me over and over again that the Lord is preparing me for something, I don’t know what it is but I know that this is part of the plan of the Lord, He needs me for something and all this craziness here at the begging of my mission is part of it. I cannot even explain how much my testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ has grown since I’ve been on my mission. It is incredible. I have learned and experienced so much in this time here of the power and the love that comes because of His atoning sacrifice for us. I love Him and I am going to try as absolutely hard as I can to be the best missionary I can be, for Him. Thank you for your love and continual prayers. I love you guys.

Yes! We get transfer calls a week from today and transfers are next Tuesday. I have to go into the offices next Monday to do more trametes so ill probably be able to pick up my package then.

Tuesday this week we did divisions with the Elders from Saavedra. Elder Silvaera, a brand new missionary from Brazil who is in his first transfer, came here to Belgrano with me for the day. I was praying so so hard for help, I know more Spanish and have more experience than he does! The Lord helped us out a TON! I was able to communicate really well with everyone that we talked to and hardly had any troubles with understanding and speaking! What a blessing! We had an appointment with an investigator but he didn’t show up at the church, but the Lord sent us someone off the street who wanted to talk for 30 minutes! And by the time we finished talking... our initial investigator came walking down the street 35 minutes late but we were still there because the woman from the street talked to us for a long time! We had a good lesson with him and set a baptismal date!!!!! WOOOOO!

Because President Trump came to town for the G20 Summit, we had to go work in Chacarita with the Zone leaders (Simmons & Belnap) for three days for security reasons. (As a side note, I don’t remember if I told you or not but Elder Fuentes is our district leader.)  It seemed like more people were acting weird when they saw us though, a few people rudely told us to go back to the US but nothing super crazy. It was fun though!! 

Another great week in the mission field, thank you for all the love and prayers. LOVE YOU!
