Jessica's Mission Blog: "can i have yo numbaahhh" (October 27, 2014)

sunsetss

its heating up here in good old esperanza thats for sure. but it was a wonderful week. a little stressful but as is the misison and life right?

well hmm time just mashes together here.

we have a new inv calles mariana. she is so awesome. we found her contacting and the firsat thing she told us..."youve come here to talk to me havent you" we said yes, she said well im about to shower but come back this day and we will talk. so we come back and teach her the restauracion. she was so attentive and repeated in her own words what we had shared. in the end she prayed perfectly and sincerely. weve had a few more lesons with her but she cant have a real date because she is living together with a man. they have 2 kids together and one is 19 and the other is 17. they cant get married because he is still married to another woman. ahhhhhh but she is so wonderful....so we just get to pray about her boyfriend.

shnell!!! hes progressed so much this week. he defended the book of mormon to his son who is a pastor! we taught him so much this week and when we taught chastity we asked him to repeat what it is in his own words and he said "es buenisimo" hahaha

happy bday fry!

he also bought a cake for hermana fry, it was her 20th birthday this sunday. he is so great and he is growing so much. it is crazy how much people grow when they accept a baptismal date and our really commited to it!

lucila. ACCEPTED A DATE FINALLY! after she said she new the bom was true and all, the next time we went back and she was like, so when am i getting baptized. the thing now is we need to work on the signature from her mom. but im praying super hard for this. please pray for it as well. lucila really has a desire to get baptized and is so awesome. her brother also has been reading the bom and although we cant really meet with him cuz hes a boy and we dont have too many members that come with us, he is reading and studying the pamphlets.

other than that we dont have too many other inv.

funny

we were riding when two boys on their motos rode by and asked for our numbers we didnt respond but then we pulled up right next to them on a red light. right before i turned to hma fry and said, get ready to teach! we pulled up and i started talking to them, they gave me their number and i just said, we are missionaries, he said "well were argentines" i said well were missionaries for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. we share and testify of our message that the fullness of the gospel has been restored. they said "well can you still come out with us sometime" i said, no we do this full time because we want to serve god. then the light turned reen and i said, well have a great night and remember that god loves youi :) in situations like this, instead of saying nothing and ignoring the boys who try to say weird things like that, i just learned its better to talk about god and the church. then theyll either stop bothering you or you find a new! haha

another bday pic

spiritual
ive been stuck on this charity and love subject for so long. charity is love in action. to really practice charity we must act and be true followers of christ. being a christain or following christ means doing what he did. he acted. He was an example. i love 1 timothy 4:12. be an example and do everything you do 100% for the gloria of god.

thats it for this week just had a few bible bashes and hma fry fell of her bike a few more times haha the bugs are getting vicous and we need to by off and sunhats. i love the mission. i love everything about it. they key to really being happy on the mission is work and obedience. as we do this we will be blessed so much. it is the same in life really. if we do the things the lord wants us to do and are obedient we will have success and happineess which come by having the spirit with us. i love you all so much!!!
