Elder Preston Vance: Week #32 ~Everyone Loves Argentines!

Hello family! How are you!

I am doing great with my amazing new companion!

Here is my week in review...

Monday

Monday was a fun first p-day with Elder Benitez he is super cool and I am learning so much from being with him! On Monday we passed by some less active members to see what we could do to help and we passed by 4 houses and talked with them for a bit and it was super great! It’s amazing how different the people act when they are talking to us when I have an Argentine comp! They are like a whole different person! Crazy!

Tuesday

We had a lunch with a family and it was good. The son of the family is trying to loose weight to go on a mission and our lunch was a huge plate of just vegetables hahah it was good but kind of lacked something crucial like anything but vegetables hah. Then after that we passes by members and investigators to get aquatinted with the new elder and to see how they were all doing a very busy evening.

Wednesday

Today we had service and we cut the grass for a new family that just moved in. It was fun we at some chicken and eggs thing and it was good then we watched like 4 mormon messages it was super fun! Then we went out and visited some investigators in the night. We taught a menso activo family that son wasn’t baptized and he was soo excited to talk to us. He ran down the street and gave us a hug even before we got to his house! haha Now thats the kind of love elders need when we teach your family a lesson!

Thursday

This was a good day we had a reunion of the zone in the morning then we did division with the zone leaders and it was really fun. I was with a zone leader of Argentina and he was super funny and crazy. We had a lot of fun talking and contacting in my area! Then after that we had a ward counsel, it was fast and furious. It started at 9 and so we started, we shared and then ran home to get home by 9:30 curfew.

Friday

We just had meeting with investigators all day Friday because we were getting ready to leave for Bahia Blanca that night or really the next day early in the morning. We had a new investigator that said she wanted to be baptized! wowowow

Then we woke up at 1 am and got in a van to Bahia Blanca we got there an hour early sat on the curb in front of the chapel because the assistants to the president would not answer their phones. Finally they came we sat and waited for the meeting to start at noon. It was so hard to stay awake but luckily I didn’t have to much of a problem because we had a talk given by Elder Stevenson and it was amazing! I learned so much and took soo many notes. It was super amazing getting to hear from him! After that we all got pushed in to vans given a 7 up and shipped home then we all fell asleep when we finally got home!

Sunday

Was good, we had a great talks about tithing and one of our less active families. They have not gotten baptized, basically because of questions about tithing. So I think it was a miracle and a blessing that Sunday talks were all about tithing. They decided to come when all the talks were about the importance of tithing, imagine that! So amazing I know it helped! Then after that we went to visit the members that weren’t able to make it out and to see how we could help. It was an amazing week!

Love to all,
Elder Vance
