Hola!!! :)
Well, the time has just flown by in the Cyber today doing a
lot of small little things, so basically I don’t have much time to write
because we have plans to go to a street called Florida today. So....I’ll be quick.
Nestor is a champ a progressing super well towards his
baptism. Basically, he’s changed a lot and been a huge example for other people
where he lives. That dad of his friend said he’s seen a big change in Nestor
and wants that for his own son and wants to learn more about the church.
Miracles. Every single day.
We did divisions this last week and it was incredible. The
hermana I was with has a transfer more than me in the mission and I was able to
learn so much from her. She is super amazing. I learned so much about setting
personal goals, and how to make plans to reach those goals. (Not just goals
like number of baptisms and lessons with a member) I feel like what I learned
from her will serve me for the rest of my life. She is a huge example to me.
Saturday
night we watch the Cultural Celebration of the Temple
in Cordoba. It
was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! All the dances were so cool. I just died. I was
smiling from ear to ear the entire time. I enjoyed it so much. I wrote down
some of the dances they did in my journal. There was a super cool one that just
the guys did called El Malambo. Look it up on You tube if you get a chance. I
hope you appreciate it as much as I did. What I loved was the huge celebration
to honor the House of the Lord. The whole time I was watching it I was just
thinking about all this was for our Heavenly Father. It was a way to celebrate
and thank Him for the beautiful opportunity He has given us to have another
temple in Argentina
where more saving ordinances can be made. Hermoso.
Then there was the actual temple dedication that we went to
yesterday. Even though it was a bummer that we couldn’t have investigators go
with us to church, it was a great testimony builder for me personally. There
are no words to describe just how I feel about the temple. With every temple constructed
in the earth the adversary has less power. Argentina now has 2 temples. That
is literally the greatest blessing for these people here in Argentina. I
have taken for granted having like 15 temples in Utah. My testimony of the temple and its
importance has been greatly strengthened this last week. I hope to never again
take the many temples around me for granted. The temple is the most sacred
place on this entire earth. For me personally, when I get back, there is no reason
that I shouldn’t be able to sacrifice a few hours of my week and visit the
house of my Lord and Savior and assist in His work. I love the temple. I love
my Savior.
Well, life is good here in Argentina. Really solid all around.
We’re seeing a lot of miracles. Time is moving by oh so quickly. I hope all of
you are doing well. I hear it’s been raining a lot so I hope you enjoy that
rain. That’s my life many weeks here in Argentina, no importa la temporada
jaja. :) Well, Love you all with my whole heart! Cuídense! Remember, when we
love the way the Savior does, miracles happen. And of course, Stay Anxiously
Engaged!! :)
xoxo,
Hermana Van Wagoner
