Dear Family,
This week Elder Hatch and I were a little sick, but we still got a little work done. We are better now.
We
ate lunch at President's house, (I assume this means Branch President, not Mission President) which is really far. We ate some
noodles with meat and some burnt flan (I think that got us sick). They
also had a baby cow that was 8 days old.
We got the hermana to wack
the mom with a stick so we could touch it - hahaha.
I think the next time we go were going to milk their cow.
On the way to presidents we passed by some mamón
farms.
Mamón are a really nasty fruit here that a lot of people give
us. They are called mamón from the word mamar, "to nurse" - so it is
all around a weird fruit to eat.
We found a really neat family this week as well! Her
name is Edi and his is Ipifanio. They called us to come over when we
were walking in front of their house. They had been really humbled
because he lost his job and they felt that they were missing
something in their family. So we taught them and I felt impressed to
talk about cleaning the inside before we can clean up the outside of
our lives. She really latched on to that and has agreed to be baptized,
so we will see what happens. The spirit told me what to say in that
lesson. We were going to start with Lesson 1 and I felt impressed to
change it. And because of that my testimony that God knows us
personally has grown a ton. He knew what Edi and Ipifanio needed better
than Elder Hatch or I. He loved them enough to give them trials
needed for them to see what they were missing in their lives.
I'm really excited about them. From what I hear nobody has baptized in Arroyos y Esteros for over a year.
The
people here all work in sugar cane fields and in the factory so they are
super hard working and really fun to teach. Here are some pictures of
the sugar cane fields.
Also the ones of the sunset with that big building is in Caucupe. and that is the ginormous Basilica.
I hope you are all doing well!
Love, Elder Neifert
