Semana 53 - Mariano Moreno

¡Hola Todos!
We had a big conference with Elder Bradley D. Foster this past week. He taught lots of great things, but having been called just a month ago, he and his wife really struggled to understand and speak Spanish! We had a little meeting with the mission leaders first to talk about a few things, and then we had the big meeting together. The biggest thing that they introduced was this new plan for the ward council meeting that came from the 1st presidency. It was rather helpful because we could see what was missing in our ward and how to use the various people and resources in the ward to help the ward grow. This is really going to change the church here in Argentina! Now if only we had ward council meeting in the first place......
I had my first, second, and third baptismal interviews this week! The sister missionaries in my district are on fire! It's a little embarrassing though, seeing that I'm not having quite as much success here in Mariano Moreno. But, the work goes on! This week will be a little tougher because I actually won't be working at all for a total of 27 hours this week due to a 3-day training for the mission leaders and trainers that our zone, the neighboring zone, and another zone is doing this week. It's gonna be fun though: there's only 13 of us that fall in the category of those that have to go, which makes me feel like President Northcutt is going to just drop cane and make us work harder......I can't wait!!! :P
Love you all!
