Well another transfer has come and gone and I’m still in the
same area with the same companion. I’m kind of glad too it’s a great area and
companion.... This week was THEE best.. Elder Nunez from one of the quorums of
the 70 came from Chile and talked to us on Thursday... He talked about the
power of the Book of Mormon and it was really good. On Friday we had a baptismal interview in a little
city an hour away from Resistencia so we headed out there. G and E came to a church this week again and are starting their papers sometime soon to
get married... I don’t know how that works in the United States but here it’s kind
of a pain so we will see how long that takes. But we hope fast :) and S and her daughters came too. The work
continues on.. One little sad thing is that one of our investigators grandma didn’t
give us permission for her grandchild to get baptized.... But we are going to
keep working with them and see if we can’t open her eyes...
And for a story
this week:
We were out working in a part a little more dangerous of our
area and it was Saturday in the morning..... we passed the normal drunk people
from the crazy Friday night they had...... and we greeted a few of them so that they felt the
good vibes we were giving and didn't bother us (a tip for avoiding drunks) and
well it didn't work... (note: my tip doesn't always work.) they started chasing
us.... and one tried punching my companion but my companion handled it and
ducked.... We started to run away and they pursued..........but luckily people that
are drunk there balance level drops quite a bit... and this dude turfed it face first into the dirt
road... I’m not going to lie I chuckled a little bit...... and it reminds me of a scripture
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine and
doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon
the sand—
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the
winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of
it.
His fall was great........
This world so much needs the gospel of Jesus Christ and that’s
why I’m here.
Yesterday and today I’m in a trio with another elder that is
waiting to train but the new missionaries don’t come till tomorrow... It’s
pretty funny. Because 2 white kids walking down the street in shirt and tie is
already is already kind of intimidating but with three………… a lot of Mormon. No but it’s fun :)
Well the weather cooled off this week. I don’t
know if that will last but it’s been a nice little treat. I’m happy and I’m
busy and we’re going to keep on working. I’m off to eat some ice cream and play
some basketball……. until next week
Love you all Elder Simmons
