Week 19 ~ Saved from Walking

Hello Everyone!!

This week we had transfers! I am serving in Coronel Dorrego, it is a little town about 2 hours outside of Bahia Blanca. It's a very cute little town, it's about half city and half countryside haha! There are horses tied to poles on literally every single corner and tons of cowboys. It's pretty awesome. My companion is Hermana Ramos from Brazil! She is super sweet and has 8 months in the mission. She is super excited to work and we spend the entire day talking.

This week was a little hard! The first three days I was here we had no one to teach and we walked literally the entire day. We got more rejected than I have my entire mission, people wouldn't even listen to us. I am leaving my training, which means we proselyte for an hour and a half longer as well. On Saturday I was literally at my wit's end. I was so sore and tired from walking all day and literally felt like I couldn't do it anymore. I knelt down by my bed and pleaded for Heavenly Father to send us people to teach and help us. We went out to proselyte and the first person we visited opened her door!!! No one had let us in all week. Then we went to another house, and they let us in too!! The whole day proceeded in the same way, everyone let us in. It was such a tender mercy to me and I saw exactly how my prayer was answered. I'm so grateful for a Heavenly Father who listens and hears me and helps me when he knows I can't do more.

Funny experiences:

We contacted a teenager in the street and handed him a card with our phone number and told him we were missionaries. He pointed at the number and asked if it was ours together and we said yes. He got the biggest smile on his face and said "I have a friend too, if you want." We laughed so hard hahaha

That's all I have for this week!! I hope each one of you are enjoying the Christmas season and staying warm! 

Love,

Hermana Spackman
