written December 9th
Well my first set of exchanges was on Wednesday. It was only for a
day because we had to be back for the consejo de liderazgo (I don´t know
what that would be called in english, leadership council?) on Thursday.
So we went out to an area called Guaymallen which isn´t too far away
from the offices. We came back that night, slept in the mission home,
had consejo de liderazgo thursday, slept in the mission home again, and
left on friday morning for a three day exchange in an area of Mendoza
city call Las Heras.
Both exchanges went really well and I am learning a
ton! President Ávila really wants us to focus on getting the
missionaries to get the members more invlolved. This happens to be a
really good month to do it because of the invitation that Elder Ballard
gave everyone in the last conference to kneel down with the missionaries
and start praying for opportunities to share the gospel before
Christmas. We have been going around to the member familes and reminding
them of that message and then putting it into practice. Everyone has
responded very well and this is definitely an exciting time of year to
be a missionary.
I am loving this opportunity to travel and grow as a
missionary. I already can´t wait to have my own area again to work so I
can better put these things in to practice. If you haven´t gotten
started with this invitation or you aren´t familiar with the invitation
that Elder Ballard gave then here is the talk that he gave it in: http://www.lds.org/
Hope everyone is well and you are in my prayers. May
the Lord be in your heart this time of year as we remember the birth of
our Savior who made it all possible.
