Hahahahaha Yeah. I weather changes would have something to do with it. Wow I just about started writing in spanish. =P hahaha ok so first responding to you. then I will tell you about my week. Well you are partly right. But its supposedly one of the funnest parts of the year. Its like a week long party. they throw fireworks, eat asado, and ice cream, and instead of sending the kids to bed early on Christmas Eve they stay up all night to shoot fireworks at Santa as he goes by.
Fire in the hole! *firework explodes next to the sleigh* "Well looks like I brought all this coal to the write place Blitzen. Evasive maneuver holly lets get to those chimneys" Sorry you know I am a nerd. reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas a bit hahaha
PS that was totally not intended.... HELP IM LOSING MY ENGLISH!!!!
On the other hand Easter is like a week long funeral. they sit inside watch like 8 versions of the passion of the christ and only eat fish and vegetables. It was kinda weird. Volviendo a la tema.... Yeah its really not that hard for us we get to talk to our families. I get to talk to you guys and well thats just great. Who cares how hot it really is. Last Sunday it was 106 so there abouts is a very hot day in Córdoba Capital. The supposed most it gets to is 117 eh. LA wins still.
Primary Program... oh those kids are just so darn adorable. They did it here this Sunday as well. Its different having about 15 kids versus the 50 or so that you have. Im sure its an adorable song. Just keep up the good work. Think of something else when they sing hahaha. Dont worry mom its for the entertainment value. Just let those tears flow.
Young Women. Wow. Of course Bob will have a copy. If its not terribly difficult to get a hold of that could you get the recorded version or maybe the Kenneth Cope CD? I need some new music but badly. However you get it, you can open up Windows Media Player and convert the songs to an MP3 or WMA format and send them in a ZIP file. I know what to do from there. Please and thank you?
Now on to the general Hi family letter of my week.
Well this week was just a work week. We started off and we found this awesome family. We knocked and they asked us to come in before we could even finish telling them who we were. They are very interested in coming to church and getting closer to Heavenly Father. Really they asked us when they could come to church. We told them as soon as they wanted (as in Sunday Morning) and they unfortunately cant come. =( The dad is a zebra (referee) for one of the bigger soccer teams here in Cordoba. He then said. Well in two weeks, when the season ends, We will be there. Way cool. Well that was Monday just to start us up. We then later in the week started working just all over the place. We had a fantastic week and finished Sunday afternoon with a family of 6 in total making 24 new people we found this week. That's a lot hahaha. But really the success of this week was our work with the members. We have EVERY Tuesday night, at our disposal the second counselor of our bishopric with his car. He is way good and is helping us a ton. At first it was gonna be a one time deal. Then he says, "you know I could just do this every week, yeah lets do that." Yeah things are going great here with Elder Lorimer. We keep on swimming and plugging away and we are seeing TONS of success.
Maxi is amazing and starting to recognize his answer of the truth of the gospel. Matias is being brave and going to keep going and wants to serve a mission. Oh we have a girl (shes like 26 so I cant really call her a lady but whatever) who is listening to us too. Her mother died two months ago, and she basically grew up without a father, as her father died at 6 months. She finds it hard to believe in God, even though she wants to. along with that she is studying like a mad woman to do Social work. Just has those fantastic questions and is very willing to listen. We took a recent convert with us to see her and they both hit it off. Mabel is great like that, she even went to bring her to church. Unfortunately Evelin was sleeping after having studied all night. =( We will see next week.
As a district we have been trying to find the funniest thing that happens to us during the day. Whether it be something that one of us said, like a slip up of english in the middle of a spanish sentence, or someone who says something funnier, like trying to cast demons out of us, or when I trip and almost faceplant it. =P Its been just making time fly by like crazy. Its hard to imagine that 4 weeks have passed with Elder Lorimer. Hes a great comp. We both have that control freak things but its working great to just get stuff done. We push each other A LOT. Its great =) Ok on to some deeper stuff.
Really I have been thinking about what it is that we do here as missionaries. We invite people to come unto Christ. The rest comes when they act and we are here to support them in every which way. I invite you all to come unto Christ. Look for Him. Look for the blessings in your lives. Search for the things that you want to change. Give them to Him. He will take them and smile and love you for it. He loves me, you, and even that guy at the office that sometimes pisses you off. He wants to see you again. Our Father misses you too. Every day you are here He wants you to be there with Him by His side. He always has his hand stretched out to us all we have to do is reach out and take it. Jesus Christ is our Savior. He suffered everything. He does it because He loves us. I serve because I love Him. I beg each of you. Accept my invitation. You know what I mean. Talk to those two kids in shirts and ties. They will smile and gladly tell you what you need to hear and how you can get just a little bit closer. Its what we do, all over the world, every day. We invite you. So really if you see them all the time or you happen to see them, talk with them. for two 20 somethings they know a lot of things that can really truly help you. I love you all, and hope the absolute best for you in each of your lives and daily adventures. Just remember find the adventure.
Keep moving forward
Con amor
Elder Ben
