Week Forty-Six!

Carlos Mendez is officially the latest member of the Oncativo Branch!!! We had his baptism Sunday after church and it was amazing. It truly is such a blessing to be a small part of this work. He truly is such an amazing child of God. He has a big heart and really just wants to follow the Savior.

As far as transfers go those photos that the member tagged me in about Capilla Del Monte might just be a sweet dream, we're still waiting for the final news.  Let me tell you whats been going on. So Saturday night, we receive the transfer call that I'll be going to Capilla del Monte a beautiful area with lots of mountains. So Sunday night I go to say good bye to the members and the family Sarmiento tells me how it's their favorite little town really touristy and hippie and shows me pictures and everything. Then comes Monday morning and we get a call before our alarm goes off from President Salas. He tells us that the companion that was supposed come and be with Hna Frias in Oncativo has decided to go home. And that he doesn't know what will happen with transfers and to just hold tight today. So that's what we've been doing. I have no idea if I'll be changing areas or not it's all kind of up in the area but by next week I'll be able to write and tell you how it all panned out.

Anyways to answer a few of your questions mom they do grow fruit here. There are lots of oranges and mandarines.You can also buy apples, bananas, pears, grapes, strawberries. They actually have little veggie shops called verdulerias and that's where people buy their produce. They have the same sort of thing for meat and bread just little shops throughout town. They also have bigger super markets but not nearly as common and sometimes more expensive.

We also had the chance to do lots of service the past week. I helped chop down another tree in skirt - who knew that chopping wood would become a common thing in the mission. We also had an amazing lesson in the house of a member with 2 less actives and 2 recent converts. We used a visual example of three cups and three knifes to help teach the importance of Going to church reading the scriptures and praying. The spirit was so strong in the lesson. It's so true that these three things are essential in our lives. Without one we lose balance. But with the three together we can face the challenges of life no matter what they are with faith and hope. We also sang a song in church on Sunday it's from the youtube video of Love One Another. It reminded me how much I miss having music and singing.

Anyways, I love you all and hope you have a wonderful day.

Con Mucho amor Hna Potrie
