Week 41 in Uruguay: "Dunking and Elder Holland in the Same Week"

5/21/18-5/29/18 

Dunking and Elder Holland in the same week!

Tuesday - Wednesday
Well, Tuesday was so good!  We were able to teach Pablo. I used a magic trick to teach him the principles of the gospel. The spirit was so so strong! We helped him see the changes he is making. It was so amazing. After, we taught Walter. He is quite the character. At the end of the day, we taught Joaquin. He has nothing, it’s so sad, but he is so happy. We can learn a lot if we look for eternal happiness and not monetary happiness. Wednesday was dope! We had interviews with President Eddy and again I had so many questions answered. It was so cool! After, we did this service for an investigator. Elder Harper and I definitely can make it on survivor, you name it lol. We made a fort for little kids who can’t afford school or really anything. We made it out of shoelaces, bamboo leaves and some other stuff. One thing I learned is one person‘s trash is another person‘s treasure haha.

Thursday - Friday
Thursday was a super boring day. We had the chance to learn how to make homemade donuts lol. Our investigator taught us. After Elder Harper got super sick so today was an uno type of day.  Shout out to my parents for my hump day package! We had a member flying back from Utah so they were able to send it with her.  Friday, we taught Rachel, Sophia and Priscilla the plan of salvation with the drawings haha, it was so fun! It was great to show Elder Harper and all them a different way to look at God‘s plan for us.  Then we taught them English.  My comp got sick again so we chilled haha I felt so bad for him.

Saturday - Sunday
Well, Saturday Walter and I got wet haha. I had the opportunity to baptize him! I was super nervous before and then as soon as we entered the water I felt complete peace. The baptism was amazing.  After, we had an activity with members. On our way home, I scared by comp so bad lol. Today was an awesome day!  Sunday was another great day. Walter received the Holy Ghost and after he gave me the biggest hug ever. We had 4 investigators go to church and the blessings are just pouring in!  After church 2 members gave me the full rundown on basketball. I love this Ward! For lunch, we ate this meal that was so gross, I died!  We also found this guy that wants to be baptized, such a cool day!

Monday
Today was the best!  We had the chance to attend a mission conference and listen to Elder Holland speak to us! He is so amazing and I had a chance to talk to him and shake his hand haha, better believe I’m not washing that thing for a while!  He gave the best talk ever to us and I have not felt the spirit so strong in my life! He is so funny and has so much energy. I love Elder Holland! He answered so many of my questions. The conference was so amazing.
