M SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, I know I talk about Olmos WAY too much, especially since I`m not there anymore, but so many awesome things happened there in these last 2 weeks! I`ll try to explain the most concisely that i can (and i already explained parts in past emails), but here we go:
1. Ezequiel (Fernando) is on a mini missioN!!! I`m SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy! Some pretty scary things happened with him in the last few months making me really worried, but he went to general conference and one of the zone leaders told him they were looking for a mini missionary for a few weeks. Ezequiel`s DREAM is to be a missionary, so he said yes and was super excited!!!! The missionaries talked with the bishop, though, and were worried he wouldn`t be able to. But Bishop had an interview with him, and came out glowing, and said that when he went into the interview he was ready to tell him no, but that he got the STONGEST impression from the Spirit that he needed to go. SO... Ezequiel went home and packed, and the next day he was a missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) I`m so happy! It`s blessing his family so much as well. His dad came to see him get set apart, and said that ìn the church he felt a peace stronger than anything he`s ever felt in his life. Plus, Cecilia, who is Ezequiel`s sister and the very first person we talked to when we moved to Olmos, came to church yesterday for the first time!
2. The Molina family - I don`t know if you remember, but in Los Hornos we found a family of like 200 people in one block that always called us " las Barbies" (it`s a mom, her 15 kids, and all her kids are grown and have 6-10 kids each practically). WELL... we had a lot of awesome experiences with them, but when we did a whitewash with the elders they slowly stopped listening to the charlas. WELL ... apparently the missionaries in Olmos were doing contacts and felt strongly that they needed to go down a particular street. They knocked a door and a little 10 yr old girl came out and invited them in. ANyways.... long story short, now they`re teaching this family, and the dad is Jose Molina. Turns out he was separated when we were teaching him (he was the most interested, and even almost got baptized 3 years ago) and lived with his mom in Los Hornos, but his gf and their 8 kids lived in Olmos. Apparently, in the last 6 months they got back together, got MARRIED, and his wife is MORMON!¨She got baptized when she was 12, was super active until 16, and then got together with Jose and stopped going. ANyways, now the ENTIRE family is receiving the charlas and progressing SUPER well!
3. Another one of our investigators, Jon, decided to get baptized, and in his confirmation was told twice that he would be a missionary. He"s 17 almost 18, and would be such an awesome missionary!!!!!!!!!
Ok, ok.... thats enough for now. But isn``t that AWESOME?! I know its kinda random that this week`s email is all about Olmos, but I just found out all of this and had to share! :) Burzaco is doing awesome as well! We have a baptism coming up this week or the next, so we`re excited! I love seeing people grow in the gospel! It`s AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love my mission and I love the people here so much! :) Life is wonderful! Enjoy every minute of it, ok? :)
Smile TONS!
