There And Back Again: GARY! Now my enchiladas are cold!!!

Holy moly this week was an adjustment. I moved to my new area, and have a companion from Mexico who doesnt speak english, but we are managing just fine. She is a tiny little thing who is a ray of sunshine, and knows the scriptures. She has 15 months in the mission, and so there is an possibility that I might kill her. (That means that I might send her off to her casa.) Her name is Hermana Galan and one day we were talking about our names, and she told me that her name is a boys name in english, and when she told it to me, it is very close to a boy´s name in english! :D I keep calling her Gary, because that is what her name sounds like in English, and she keeps correcting me. Its quite funny. And is the reason for the Spongebob quote title.

When I got to this area, we had quite the miracle. Like, en cerio. A total miracle. We have an investigator named Luis who came to church the sunday of the 8th becuase he was walking by, and felt like he should go in. :O After that, a senior couple called us and told us that Luis wanted to talk to us, and he told us that he wants to be baptised! So crazy! He hadnt even had a lesson. We made an appointment to teach him, and when we got there, he started talking, and his story is amazing. He moved here a week and a half ago with nothing but a backpack. He lives in the bus terminal, and he told us that he cant sleep well because he´s scared that people will steal his cosas. He would wander around in the days and that´s how he found our church. He has been trying to find work so that he can eat and live somewhere. He told us that he went to an interview for a restaurant and there were a lot of men there trying to find work, BUT HE WAS CHOSEN OUT OF ALL OF THEM!!! He still cant eat, because the restaurant is fish, and he is allergic. It´s so sad. I am totally not doing the story justice, but the spirit was so strong, and we had a member there in the lesson, and she took us to her house afterwards, and gave Luis food. When we were at her house, we taught him another lesson, and asked him to baptised on the 28th of Febrero, and he asked us why it was so much time! He wants to be baptised like, now. haha I would be honored for him to be my first baptism. He doesnt understand why we cant baptise him, though, so we are going to teach him about the priesnthood tonight. We also want him to be baptised becasue he has a testimony, not because the church helped him, so we are going to try to teach as much as we can, staring with lession 1, the restoration, and going foward from there. He is truly amazing. Oh, and he looks kind of like Jose O and is 25 years old.

Raising the bar

Que mas? My new area is in the heart of Rosario, and it is COMPLETELY city. Sometimes there are so many poeple that I get a little panicky, but I´m learning to enjoy it. We walk alot faster here; my feet hurt more at the end of the day, and I have more blisters, but all´s well. The Gospel´s true.
