Dear Family,
We had a good week and yesterday was my birthday, boy I feel old now.
We had lots of fun this last week cuz my companion and I did 8 baptismal interviews. On Friday we travelled to a different city in the zone to do interviews but we ended up missing our stop and we had to get off in the next city haha. We were kind of worried because our zone is on the border of the mission; we thought we might have left the mission. But turns out we didn´t haha. So anyway we ended up getting to the city, seeing a marriage, doing some interviews, and then we stayed for the baptism of the couple that got married. I got to do the interviews for the couple which was cool cuz I love hearing people´s conversion stories and cool experiences.
The next day we ended up travelling back to the same city to do another interview. The Elders in that city have been working really hard and they had 5 baptisms this last weekend. The Elders that were there before "killed" the area and had to be taken out. So it just goes to show what faith and a good attitude can do.
Something cool that happened in our area was that we went and found an old investigator and taught him. He had been in lots of surgery and stuff so I had never been able to teach him, but now he´s at home recovering and he wants to be baptized. We gave him a blessing of health and he´s feeling pretty good, I think the biggest difficulty could be his wife who is not at all excited about him listening to the missionaries or getting baptized.
Let´s see, this last week my companion made a big bottle of maple syrup for a young couple that we´re teaching, that was pretty funny. The lady said that she had been craving it ever since the missionaries made her some years before.
Oh and some other cool news. Today we got an email from President saying that Elder Bednar is gonna be coming to Argentina this next month and that he´s going to talk to our mission! Woohoo! that´ll be awesome.
Ok I think that´s all I´ve got for now family, I love you all, have a great week!
Love,
Elder Boice
