Well... Elder Hawk is leaving me. Hes going to train in Miguel Lanus. Poor guy. Ill miss him. And ill be with another Gringo, Elder Averett here in Posadas.
Well this week was one of the best ever because we got to see a baptism!! A faather baptized his 13 year old son, and 2 months ago, they were inacitve! Now they both have a lot of drive to work in the church and spread the gospel, and its great. It was a perfect day.
I was way sick. On thursday night, i just didnt feel very good. I asked for a blessing, and went to sleep. And then on friday, we went out and worked and i was doing fine. Saturday, too. except at the baptism. I was dying. And everyone came up to me and asked me if i was okay, and i told them that i was a little bit sick, and they all started telling me all their witchcraft healing methods, and then literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON at the baptism was talaking about my illness. It was really uncomfortable. I never want to be sick again just so i can avoid that.
Well another highlight of the week was seeing the dedication of the temple of Cordoba Argentina!
Every chapel here was an extension of the temple. And the Spirit was just as strong in our stake center as it was in the temple! it was awesome! i loved it! It was a great experience! I really could not have been happier to be sitting in the temple again. Elder D todd Christofferson and President Uchtdorf were there. Elder Christofferson Directed, and he speaks spanish SO WELL!! Just as well as any gringo i have ever heard! He praactically has a latino accent! I could not believe it. Who knew? President Uchtdorf gave a wonderful message on helping your neighbor. We go to the temple to remind ourselves of how we should be always, not just how we should be in the temple, and it should give us that light to share with other people.
Also, the new temple president in Cordoba is from Posadas, anad his son is our stake president. So everyone here knows him personally, and we got to see our stake president on the broadcast,t oo, sitting in the audience. it was pretty cool
Well i was loving it. One of the perks of being sick, is that you get to sleep without a timer. I always expected that if i did that i would sleep until like 5 at night, or through a whole day. But i woke up at 8. It was quite disappointing, really. Well... yes.
Love you all.
Elder Emil
