PROGRESSING!!!!!!!!!

April 11, 2016

LUIS CAME TO CHURCH AND HAS A BAPTISIMAL DATE FOR THE 30th OF APRIL!!!!!!

The little Branch of Lascano has not baptised in over a year and has been really low on animo in this sense. Well, after a dope charla with Luis Saturday, he accepted a baptism date and showed up at church 10 minutes early!:D The priesthood class was really cool. Hermano Machado ended up teaching about different ordinances of the Priesthood and Luis was intrigued! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Well That was definitely the highlight of the week..... no not only that, but everyone in the district has someone progressing! Not only that, but they all have baptism dates for the 30th of April. In a district that has had a total of 4 baptisms in the last year IT'S GREAT!!!!!!:D

Haha another thing about Luis. After Church ended , we were standing around talking with him and hermano machado. Hermano Machado, learning that Luis is 22 began talking about how he should go on a mission. I thought it was awesome. 

Well this week has been full of a bunch of cool charlas. For example: we walked past this house on our way to an investigator. We had passed it, but Elder Bean felt we should go back. We ended up sitting down with this lady and her husband. The woman was well versed in biblical stories and doctrine, having been in the past a preacher for the Barraca. I actually hold a lot of respent for this evangelical program. What they do is go out, preach to wayward teens who have a ton of addictions and want to turn their lives around, take them off the streets, pretty much lock them inside a church, give them a strict bed time, healthy diet, let them watch only good movies, and all the time teaching them of the redemptive power of Christ. To raise money for the program, the youth that have turned their lives around, hit the streets selling alfajors (uruguayan cookie type things), and other food. You can always tell who they are for the colorful baskets they cary around full of food. Well, lets just say she has a really cool base and is willing to build from that. In the middle of the charla, she staight up told us that we are very spiritual people, and at the end, told us that she had really enjoyed the charla and would love for us to come back. We'll see what happens. Please pray for them(Alicia and Gutavo) 

Other than that this week has been full of Great things, and crazy opposition. Tell yall more about it when I get back. (don't worry, it's nothing physically dangerous)

WellI love yall a ton and hope yall have a superb week,
Elder Eliason
