Week #49 ~Keeping my head up & working hard!

Hello family,
So, this week has gone fast and very furious.  I had transfers and I got a new comp named Elder T and he is from Peru.  He is infamous in the mission for being the missionary everyone DOES NOT WANT!  He does not want to serve and doesn’t not want to abide by ANY rules!  He is serving because he is getting paid and living better than at home in Peru.  So, he is on a vacation, getting paid.  So far this week we have had 2 investigators who he completely offended and yelled at one for not giving him what he wanted.  They both asked us to not come back.  It saddens my heart tremendously.  We are supposed to be an ambassador of Jesus.  Instead, it is a huge struggle for me.

I am still in the same area and I love this area the people are so great.  I had some great lessons and new investigators this weeks.  It looks as if we might enjoy some fruits of our labors week.  We will wait and see. This week we had a great lesson with an investigator that’s living with a member.  She is very interested in life after death, as most people are inclined to be. It’s great because we have the answers. I am so pleased to be able to talk with him about that!  We also are teaching a young boy named Juan.  He is fantastic, he is interested in improving his life and becoming a man, as he says.  I can think of no better way than through the church!

It’s getting very cold here just dropped below 0 this week. It’s cold but I am surviving and learning how to love.   I hope everything at home is as well as my love is for the people of Argentina.   
Love you all,

Elder Vance
