Well,
I wish I could have some super cool explanation why I didn´t write yesterday. But I don´t. It was an Argentinan holiday called 'National Sovereignty Day' or something like that. All the internet places were closed so the President gave my companion and I permission to write today.
Hmm. The investigators are doing good. There is this one lady named Nancy that is super ready but she is dyslexic (I think). So she can´t read or write but when we talk and she prays and listens, she says that she can feel that the things are true. She is trying to work on getting better so she can read but apparently its pretty bad. It was from her drug usage when she was young (Don´t do drugs). The others are doing well. We hope to see a few baptisms this month for Christmas!
We had one lady who was on the bus, passed the church, looked at it and she said that it just called to her so she got off and entered and sat in the back of a seminary graduation. She liked it so much that she came back the next day for sacrament meeting. And then stayed the next 2 hours. And now we have an appointment with her today. :)
We, as a mission, are trying to reach 2000 baptism in the year of 2014. We, as a mission, right now are at 1760 give or take a few. Our montly average is about 180 I think. So the President has been admonishing us to give everything our all, apply everything, help everyone, and to leave the burden to the Lord for the miracles. Which is so true. I don´t know who said it but someone said, "the time for the missionaries to be knocking on doors is and should be coming to an end. In the wickedness and darkness of the world today, compared to the glory, and light and truth and help that the gospel offers, it is the time when people should be knocking on the missionaries doors." Or something like that. It is true! There are people looking for the gospel, they just need help finding it!
Something that I forgot to tell you all the last week is that we had an Apostle visit us. (I don´t know how it slipped my mind) Elder D. Todd. Christofferson and a few seventies, came to Buenos Aires! We had a meeting with him along with the Buenos Aires West Mission. I tried looking for Elder Lyman but I couldn´t see him. We got up at 4 in the morning to get there 2 hours early. We sat in front! It was great. Very interesting. Although, when it came to the question and answer part I thought we totally blew it. The questions were just ridiculous. He is an Apostle! And you want to ask him if some scripture in Moses is appropriate to share with investigators? Oh come on. I wanted to ask him, if he could go back to his mission and talk to himself, what advice would he give? Million dollar question. Million dollars. But he didn´t call on me. But it was awesome. Really amazing.
Yesterday for P-day we went to a place called Puerto de Fruto. Which I think is a Fruit Port. But its a super cheap touristy place. They sell authentic stuff super cheap. I bought a few touristy things and some true blue Argentinean things. I am happy. Mom would be happy there too. Its in Tigre. You can look it up.
Anyways, thats about it.
I love you all!
Please continue to pray for me. I need the prayers! I feel like I am more and more tired everyday but from somewhere the energy is coming.
Love,
Elder Moore
