Sooo... My legs are tired:D

over 150 contacts, over 48 future investigators, and 13 new investigators this week for Lascano. Both Elder Burgess and I have agreed that although none of the new investigators came to church, this was the best week of missionary work in all of our mission. Ouch.

So just some stories for some of the news:

1)It all started off on Monday where we tried hitting up a menos activo's house. Elder Burgess had never met the people that lived there, but had heard about it once and felt we should go there. Upon knocking, a 17 year old mom opened up with her baby. We talked a bit then asked if she could sit down with us outside to chat. It was a great charla where we committed her to baptism (her mom is the less active) and helped her remember the relief that can come through repentance and baptism. Upon leaving, Elder Burgess was super stoked and exclaimed "DUDE! Shes gold. no wait, she's better than gold, She's Kryptonite (more rare than gold). since that moment, we have refered to her and her baby as Kryptonite and super baby. 

2) We also began teaching her (Kryptonite's) dad. He is probably the most excited out of all the news we found. 

3) Her name is Marìa (hahah pretty much everyone here is named Marìa. Honestly, If I don't know someone's name I often just guess Marìa). This was probably one of my favorite successful contacts I have had. We walked up to her (we have become bosses at contacting people and asking if we could sit down now and teach them, or setting up times to pass by) she looked at us and said: "Im sorry, Im in a hurry. My name is Marìa and I live at ******." "okay, can we pass by tomorrow at 3:30?" "Yes" "Can was leave you with a pamphlet to read?" "Yes" and then she was gone. We came to her house the next day at 3:30 and after formal greetings, were met with "I have 15 minutes and want to know what you guys do." Super good spiritual charla. I honestly felt like I was part of the district videos. Things like that dont happen often, but we always practice for them. It was great:D

4) We also had a really spiritual charla with a woman who's 15 year old daughter  drowned a month ago in the nearby river. We taught about the Plan of salvation and testified of the healing power Christ can give us. Next time we go I want to share the scripture about how Christ can take away the sting of death.

There were many more, but it sufficeth me to tell those. 

So Im actually sitting at the border of Brazil and Uruguay right now listening to the guy next to me jabber to his kid in Portuguese. This is interesting....... I feel like I kind of know his language, but at the same time, no. 

I love yall so much!!!!!:D
