Coldness in the toes of the earth
Hey everyone,
Tis I, your beloved child, brother, broskie, lover, and missionary,
Elder Trayner. This week was relatively boring, although I did enjoy
the general conference thouroughly. My favorite talk was by Elder
Robinson about being and doing. Helped me realize a few things I can
do to become a better person or being and also how to more effectively
help others here in argentina become better people, and more like
their Savior and Father in Heaven. Anyways, we had a pretty decent
family home evening for the branch on Friday where we watched finding
faith in Christ, listened to a few testimonies, and then ate some
pizza and stuff. It was a pretty good activity. Hopefully we can
keep doing them and getting better attendance each time. Anyways, it
continues getting colder, and this past week was freezing.... umm...
what else... not many of our investigators made it to the conference,
which was super lame, but surely they'll go next week and that we'll
be able to find a lot of new investigators this week. Hmm... I don't
have much else to say. That is so awesome that Forrest is going to be
baptized! Epic. Well.. we keep working hard here and we're hoping to
see the results soon, just gotta keep our head up and try to get
everyone to feel the love of Savior here, because if they don't feel
that, the members are never going to do anything and people could get
baptized, but they would just end up like all the converts from the
past 2 years- inactive. Out of like 30ish converts in the past 2
years only 3 are active. It's horrible, but a bunch moved too. We're
doing our best to get them back and get them over their offense or
their laziness or whatever it is that is preventing them from going.
Hopefully we'll also be able to have a baptism soon. Surely the Lord
will help us do a miracle here if we keep working diligently with
faith. Anyways, I love you all and hope you are all doing well. I
testify to you that the true happiness is not in the world, but is in
Jesus Christ, our Savior. Follow what He has shown and taught and you
will find peace in your life. Love you guys. Until next week.
