FRIO.. Y CALOR DE VUELTA

BUEN DÍA! Hey, so I'm really sorry but some times the time escapes me and it means I don't get to send a really big email. But know that this week was really great!

Big news that doesn't really mean any thing for those that aren't missionaries! The entire missionary schedule changed! Mostly every one is excited because we now have two an a half extra hours of P-Day. If that's not good news I don't know what is. 

Elder Gygi and I are still getting lost a lot, but it's exciting! It gives us more opportunities to speak to every one and share with every one, since we have to ask for directions so much. This area is huge, but it has some great people. We're just meeting and meeting and meeting more people, because we don't know any one. It's awesome, because I really like meeting people! 

This week we met some really great people, but what really stood out to me is how many examples of people utilising their agency that I saw. I felt impressed to talk to multiple people this week, and as I met them, I understood why. They were all looking for just more! All of them were in some sort of situation where a need of spiritual alimentation (is that a word? Or is that Spanglish?) was necessary. But I then got to see them use their agency and choose to reject inspired invitations from my companion and I. Man, it's so sad! I wasn't mad, or annoyed. It's just sad. How does our Father in Heaven feel about us when we know we have to do some thing, or we know some thing is right, and we don't do it! I know He feels that sadness. And I know it's so much greater, because His love is perfect. But our Father in His perfection has also given us a perfect Plan where we can come back from that bad choice and make a right one later that will erase all of those bad ones. Repentance is so very possible, and the Lord's mercy is extended to all. Even though agency can make us sad, it is such a blessing when we think about all of the joy that comes from choosing the right and repenting. 

I love you all quite a lot, and I love every one here in Argentina quite a lot. 
¡Cuidense!
