It made me so happy to hear that you could make it to President and Sister Lindahl´s homecoming. To be completely honest I had completely forgotten that it was yesterday, but I´m glad you could get to know them and see how incredible they really are. It was such a great blessing to have them as my mission president and I have learned many lessons from the both of them. Just listening to them talk, one can feel the powerful spirit that they each carry and see the love that they each have for each other and the Savior in their lives. They are great people and will be blessed forever.
This week in San Luis was very... hard?? It was definitely a different week. I don´t know what it was, but everything was off. I felt like the effort that we put into the work was increased, but the results decreased. I don´t know how that would work, but that is how it turned out. We did, however, have the opportunity to meet President Avila and his family on Thursday. They assistants came up Wednesday night to stay in our apartment, which was great, then we all met up thursday morning to meet them. President Avila seems like a great guy. He is a very spiritual man and can explain stories in the Book of Mormon like no other man that I have ever met. He makes it feel as if we were the main character in the story and that helps me understand the scriptures a lot better. He shared with us the story of Ammon and really helped me open up my eyes. It is incredible that Ammon, the son of a king, chose to go work among the lamanites, who were a people that just hated the nephites. He got into the land of Ismael and was immediately taken by the guards of the king and taken to the king
lamoni. Do you think the cords were made of silk and the knots were nice and loose? No. those people wanted to kill Ammon right when they saw him and what was it that the king asked Ammon? He asked him if the intention of ammon was to dwell among the people. Ammon said that was correct and he was maybe going to dwell there until the day he died. the king was happy to hear this and offered Ammon his daughter, but what did Ammon do? He made himself a servant to the King. What an example of humility and faith. That is exactly what I am here to do in Argentina. i have come for just a short period of time, with the idea to serve the people and most importantly to serve God. I know that this is a true work. It really is the perfect battle. I am so happy to be involved in such a great and marvelous cause. I want you all to know that things are going great here. I am so happy to be serving my God and representing Jesus Christ in the cordillera of Argentina. I love you all. I am so blessed to have such an amazing family!!
