This week we had leadership training in Bragado, which is a city way out in hoo-hah. So on Tuesday
we had to go to Luján and take a massive bus over. All of the zone
leaders and sister training leaders together in a bus for like three
hours. All of the peopleon the bus must've been pretty weirded out with
such a large gethering of Mormons on a bus. It's okay though - we were
all born to be a peculiar people, right? We had a really great training
about using better the Book of Mormon to talk to people, and then we all
left and did what they call a Tormenta Blanca (white storm), where we
went throughout the city and invited every one to the branch conference
that they had this last Sunday. Elder Rodriguez and I were blessed to
have President Resek come with us the whole time, and it was a special
experience. He is a huge example of love; he relates incredibly well
with the people and was just automatically their friend. It's great
having an Argentine mission president. It was easy to see that he's been
called by the Lord to be here with us, and I'm incredibly grateful for
all I learned in the short hour and a half we worked together.
Carlitos is getting baptised on Saturday!
He has made such a big change! Ten years it took him, but after some
great examples and some specail dreams, he's decided he's ready. It is a
blessing to be with him on the journey.
I'm
loving every moment I have. The Lord is good to me, and I know He loves
me. I love Him, and I love the wonderful people He has blessed me with
here in Argentina. Keep ya head up, friends! Nothing can ever go
permanently wrong if we use Christ's great atoning sacrifice. Joy to the
world!
Un beso,
Elder McDonald
