Hey!
This week was pretty good and we had
3 people at church so we were pretty happy! I was so happy to hear that 11
people went to your ward on Sunday! That’s really, really great! I can’t wait
to get back and help out the missionaries!
So... MIRACLES HAPPEN! hahah On
Tuesday, we went to the district meeting in Villa Galvez, that’s outside of
Rosario and had to take a bus there. We went to bus stop and I forgot which bus
we had to take but I was PRETTY sure that the 103 got us there, so we got on.
The bus kept going, and then kept going through some ghetto, and then.... Stopped
and the bus driver said it was the end of the route and we had to get off. We
got off, having no clue where we were and had no money for a taxi. Just so you
get the picture... Dirt road, houses made out of scrap wood and whatever they
can find, and LOST. We started walking and were scared for our lives because I
had my backpack and we stood out like crazy. I totally thought we were going to
get robbed again. We walked and said a little prayer that SOMEHOW we would get
a ride to Main Street. We walked about 15 blocks when we saw a huge water tank
truck on the side of the road. Two guys were there standing and one started
walking toward us. (By the way were scared of everybody now, so when somebody
walks up to us, they’re DEFINATELY going to rob us. haha) So he’s walking up
and we quickly try to cross the street and then so does he. (I’m thinking we’re
totally done for) Then he says "hey can I get some help pushing the truck
so it starts up?" and right when he says that I look at him and realize...
He’s a less active guy from another ward in Rosario. I did divisions there ONCE
and met him. Way cool guy. So for those of you who don’t know, by pushing a car
you can make it start. Seriously. We do it at least once a week. So it started
up and then he said what are you doing out here?! It’s super dangerous! We told
him we took the wrong bus and were lost. He asked where we were going and
offered us a ride. WOOHOO! We got in and he said that they were waiting there
for like 10 min trying to get it the truck started but it just wouldn’t start.
haha soo..... If anyone doesn’t believe in God, I will tell you that GOD LIVES
AND LOVES US. Coincidence is God’s way of staying unanimous.
Were teaching a great lady named
Maria that really wants to change and wants the best for her family. She received
an answer and now is trying to come to church! She’s excited and so are we!
Well see what happens!
Alrighty, I don’t have that much
time! I love you tons and hope you all have a great week!
