I'm back! Its been a crazy couple of weeks so here's a quick rundown!
Had an activity with the youth!! We got assigned to give a little talk, so we improvised on the bus ride to the church and got all the kids hyped to love, share, and invite!
☆ For p-day we took a city tour and got to see all the big sites to see in Carlos Paz (the lake and a big cuckoo clock)
☆ Last Sunday was insane. After 3 weeks of not having any of our friends come to church despite doing literally everything possible, we had 4 friends show up!!
☆Had a birthday party for Elder Burton and bought shirts with our names on them
☆Cintia came to church!! She's getting ready to get baptized this Sunday and is so excited!!
☆On Tuesday we had exchanges with the hermanas in Unquillo, to get there you have to take an hour long bus ride to C贸rdoba, and then another hour long bus ride to Unquillo. So we met up in C贸rdoba, Hermana Martin went with Hna Huaraca back to Carlos Paz, and I went with Hna Masciotti to Unquillo! We planned to meet up in C贸rdoba that night and switch back. Hermana Masciotti and I got to C贸rdoba, and sent a text to the other hermanas asking where they were. We then get a response that they were still waiting for the bus to get there… turns out it was a holiday in Carlos Paz, and the bus they were waiting for wasn't ever gonna show up
With a quick change of plans, we ended up crashing the pension of some hermanas in C贸rdoba for the night haha!
These last few weeks have been so full of miracles, I don't even know where to start!
Last Saturday night we went to go visit a family we had found knocking doors. As we waited for someone to answer the door 2 dudes came up to us. We talked to them for less than 10 minutes, got their numbers, invited them to church, and made a plan on how they were gonna get there. Sunday morning we called all our friends to wake them up like usual and they answered and said they were getting ready to leave! We went with our other friends in a taxi and couldn't contain our excitement when we passed by them walking to the church! Afterwards we did a quick tour with them, showed them the baptismal font and invited them to get baptized! They accepted happily!
Our friend Ester also showed up which was a straight up miracle! We've been teaching her for a month now and despite all our best efforts, she never came to church. Last Sunday she told us she was gonna go si o si, and then got stuck finishing work stuff and couldn't go. We decided that we needed to stop teaching her and give her more time to prepare. On Monday we went to have a “charla franca” with her. But before we could even start she surprised us by telling us that she had received her answer that this is the true church because she had never felt so bad for not going to any other church. She had already made a whole plan so that she’d be able to go, which included not sleeping Saturday so that she could finish all her work before church starts. And she did it!! She wants to get baptized too, but she's currently living with her ex, so pray for us that we can figure that out!
This week we decided to visit this lady that had been in contact with missionaries before. She came out and told us that her son has been going to our church for the last few months. Turns out her son is good friends with some members, and has been going to church, activities, and even institute with them for months now, and nobody thought it would be a good idea to let the missionaries know. But hey, now we know 
I've learned a whole lot that most of the time, the results of our hard work aren't immediate, and they definitely don't always come when we want them. But they do always come! I know for a fact that God sees our effort, and that he can perfect our weaknesses and make them into strengths. And I know that prayer has soo much power, that God listens to every single one.
Love you all!! Have the best week!
