Dear Mom, Dad, Brennan, and Makenna,
This week has been so good. Probably the best week of my mission. We
had an opportunity to see Elder Cook, and listen to him speak in our mission! He
talked about how the missionaries are going to be working a lot more with the
members. The spirit was so incredibly strong. I know that God loves us so much,
each one of us. Everyday people reject us and I get a little sad for that
person that rejected us because I know they could be so blessed for their decision
to join this church. But as in says in preach my gospel we have to keep
pressing on. But my love for others is increasing so much. I never thought I
could have so much love in my heart for other people.
Something I have learned while being in Argentina with my companion
Elder Barragan is how to forget yourself. Always he is serving, and I am trying
to pick up on that too.
My Apartment is so great don’t worry about the bathroom it is kind
of fun to have something out of the ordinary. I love it here. I am learning how
to be clean!
We are teaching a lady named Carolina. She accepts everything we ask
her to do and follows up on every commitment. She is so in tune with the spirit
she really wants to follow Christ. She has a baptism date this Saturday. We are
having daily contact with her to make sure she stays with the commitment and
learns everything she needs to learn before the baptism. Also I can teach in
Spanish. I do not understand everything yet. But I am working on my language. This
week we went on exchanges and I was with a Spanish speaker form Uruguay! His
name is Elder Vicente! He only speaks Spanish. We did work together as a companionship.
He taught me se much Spanish and I taught him a little English it was so fun to
be with him for a day.
The church is true; the Book of Mormon is the word of god. And I
know the lord never gives a trial we can’t overcome. The power of prayer is
amazing! God is always there for you with his hands out. We need to tell more
people of this love and more people of the restoration of the church of Jesus
Christ so they can become closer to Jesus Christ. If they are not baptized they
cannot go to the celestial kingdom! What a weight we have on our shoulders to
be members of the church! Share your testimony with others all you can.
I am so happy our home is dedicated it will truly help keep the
spirit there! I know that is true. The priesthood power is so strong! So much
stronger than anything Satan will ever have! Thanks for the Emails! I love hearing
about your days so much, and I am having fun!
Oh also we spent today cleaning our apartment! It felt so good to be
in a clean apartment. We just have a problem with flies! What a great challenge
it is. I love Argentina! You are the best family ever and you are always in my
heart! Oh and mom, I always wear my shoes in the bathroom. haha
Love,
Elder Hicks!
