Tuesday we had a special activity and devotional. We heard from
the Assistants, President, his wife, and a few missionaries and finished it
with hamburgers. We then had a "cultural event" and watched the game
of Argentina vs. Switzerland. It was great. Everyone jumped up cheering when
Argentina made a goal. Some didn't, especially those from Mexico and Chile.
We
found the 85-year-old father of a returned missionary who is active in the
Escobar Stake. He's receptive and very alert. But he knows a lot. When we asked
a few questions about his beliefs, he began by saying that he believes
monotheisticaly and that God is singular, not like the Greeks or the Romans who
believe in multiple gods springing from multiple religions independent of each
other. He told us of his respect for the Church and how he was about to be
baptized at one point. His son told us that he has had spiritual experiences
with the Church.
We
have trouble finding people after contacting them or having short lessons in
the street. Because of that we've been working a lot on making the lessons very
powerful. The most frustrating part of Missionary Work is that people generally
don't understand the importance of what we're saying, so we're getting better
at that. The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored. The Priesthood is on the
Earth again. The Stick of Joseph has come to the whole world. In this
dispensation everything will come to a close. There is so much work left to be
done.
President
gave us permission to see the game between Argentina and the Netherlands.
Next
week is transfers. I'll likely be going seeing that I've been here for 3
transfers now.
