Well this week I have been in Ituzaingò the whole week. So heres a story about what happened in Posadas!
The Elders were eating lunch at one of the oldest members of the ward. A great old lady. Hilarious. And they asked if she knew of any less active members that they could go visit (this happened about a week before i got to the area). She said yes, and described a man that lived on a flag lot (SUCH a long driveway, way off of the road) that came to church for a while.
So they went. And he was really excited to see the missionaries, and said that he was waiting for someone from the church to come and contact him. He had just gotten over heart surgery, and was now able to walk far distances. So they asked him what his goals were to come back to the church. He said he wanted to recieve his endwoment, and he wanted to get his patriarchal blessing. Wow that is unordinarily specific. Well they kept talking, and he asked if one family was active that he was really good friends with. They had never heard of this family. He described their direction, and told them that they should go and try to visit.
Well they went. And it turns out, this man was baptized the same time as the first time, AND was baptized with his wife. THey all joined the church about 8 years ago, and were super active. The second man was the ward misison leader for a time. And he also has a young family. >None of them were 8 when they got baptized, but one of his sons is now 13.
Well they have both come to church every week since, and we are working on preparing the father to baptize his 13 year old son, and they have all come to all the ward activites, and its awesome, and were all very happy, and theyre all sharing the gospel, and we could not be more thrilled, and im very happy to be a part of this work.
Have a nice day
