Elder Joseph Anderson Doing a Random Pose From His Apartment In Argentina |
On Friday I did my first baptismal interview as a district
leader. It was a amazing experience to help a child of the Lord enter the
waters of baptism. I wont lie I was a little bit nervous but I put my trust and
confidence in the lord and he took care of the rest. It was great to see how
somebody has gained such a strong testimony of the gospel before they have even
been baptized and at the end of the interview I bore my testimony to her and
invited her to share her testimony with me. She bore such a simple, powerful,
and amazing testimony that it just made the room light up.
Elder Bingham and I have been working our tails off this
week and we have finally found some people that are progressing!! YAY!! One man
named Remundo came to church with us yesterday and after he told us that he had
a dream about somebody baptising him and he thinks it is a sign from God that
that is what he should do. The Lord is preparing His children for the
missionaries. Something I love that our president always tells us is that
"we dont prepare people...the Lord does. Our job is to find, teach, and
help the people that the Lord has prepared for us"
Sometimes the days are long and hard here in Argentina but I
know that the Lord is always with me and that my job is to be obedient, put my
faith and trust in the Lord, and to work as hard as I can, the rest is up to
the Lord.
Nothing really that crazy this week happened. We bought a
bunch of stuff to make hamburgers and I cooked some hamburgers for us. They
were really big and really good, until we were on our third one...then they
werent so good. My spanish is coming a long pretty well but i am still working
on a ton of stuff to be able to confince the people that I am native.
I love all of you very much and I am grateful for your
prayers and support.
Love Elder Anderson
