Welp this week was an interesting one. We have had quite a few adventures, but I don't really have time to write everything, and well, I will be talking to a few of you this Sunday!!

So it turns out it is a bit complicated to baptize someone who lives in the streets, I don't feel like Jorge is trying to use the church, but I do understand we need to use all precautions to protect against that, so once he gets a house then we can talk about when he will be baptized. He came to our appt. on Sat, but he didn't come to church on Sunday, so unless he comes to church this Sunday we've lost contact with him anyways!!

Mayra is still fantastic, only she didn't come to church this Sunday either, because she came to a baptism with us Sat night and so she had to spend time with her family Sunday! But she says this Sunday for sure... lets hope so!!

Well and we have found someone else to teach, actually he found us. My first Sunday here he came to the capilla (chapel) and said he needed God in his life, but he couldn't stay, so we gave him a folleto (pamphlet) and made an appt, but every time we went by his house his grandma had a different lie for us,. One time it was really funny because we talked to his neighbor and she said oh he just left to go buy something at the pharmacy, but he might be back I don't know, so when we rang the bell and his grandma answered she said no he's not here, he just left. So we asked when we could come back and she said oh no he is traveling for work, so we said OK we will pass by another day, and as we turned to leave she said oh no actually he went to Salta (which is in the north of Argentina). I smiled and said thanks we will pass by later on! Hermana Perez and I laughed so hard because it was like 3 lies one right after the other! Daniel says she does that with everyone. Well we passed by this Sunday and he was home!! We were able to teach him a lesson and he loved it. When we read James 1:5 he was like wow that is the answer to my question. Then I taught the part about the First Vision and he loved it. Then we read Moroni 10:3-5 and he was like wow where has this been all my life, and then he said, I don't have money right now but I will buy this when I do, and we laughed and said no don't worry about it, it's a gift! When we ended the lesson he left to walk home and we watched him and he was reading as he was walking! I feel really good about him. He has quite the past. He used to be in a lot of drugs and stuff, contracted a really ugly disease, and lost his wife. He has completely turned his life around, he told us he misses his wife, and that we never know how good we have it until we lose it all! He really loves his ex wife, but knows he has to move on because she has remarried and everything! There are some consequences we just can't control, no matter how much we repent and try to change things, but he has accepted that and is now trying to do the right things! Pray for him!

Oh and the other day in my personal study I was reading in John (I think) and it talked about how sometimes we are the sowers and sometimes we are the reapers, so even though I'm not having very much success right now doesn't mean I'm not a good missionary, it just means I'm sowing the seeds so that other missionaries after me and reap the rewards!!

Well that is all I have time for now, maybe I'll have more to talk about on Sunday when I talk to you all!!

Love ya and have a great Mother's Day everyone!!

Besitos,

Hermana Gosnell

OK so the one with other people in it is with Mayra and Hermana Perez, the one with my black turtle neck is just showing off one of the sweaters I bought here, and the other one of me in a black skirt and white shirt and a black cardigan, well my comp said I looked like a Nun, (sometimes the people in the streets call us nuns) and the other one is what my hair looks like at the end of the day... seriously!!
