Week 22 ~ Jorge the Catholic Man

Hola Familias y Amigos!!

This week went by so fast!! I can hardly believe that we are coming up on 2020, and I will spend the whole next year in Argentina. I may be a little biased, but I think it's the best way to spend 2020 haha!

A few weeks back I wrote about a Catholic man that we found in divisions. Well, after that division I came back to my area and the other sister was emergency transferred. I thought for sure that his address would be lost, but I got a call this week from my sister training leader that he went to church last Sunday and he is going to be BAPTIZED!!! Wahoo!! I think I was the happiest I have been my whole mission haha. This is the first time I have found someone and they have gone to church, without us visiting them more than once. I think my other missionary friends will know how rare this is haha!  I will keep you all updated on him in the weeks to come :)

My companion and I spent Christmas with our bishop ́s family and they made us some awesome Argentinian asado and we got to watch the movie, COCO! Afterwards we went caroling in some hereticos, and to some less active members. It was a really good Christmas, one that I won't forget.

Funny experiences:

On Christmas Eve we got hugged by a drunk, homeless, clown in the middle of the street.

A member asked us to do a service project for her and she put us to WORK. We cleaned out an entire backyard, used a leaf blower to get rid of spider webs, scraped paint off the pavement and raked out a ton of dead grass. In the middle of the grass we found their dead CAT hahahah. They had been looking for it for over a year.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!! This past month I have been reading ̈Jesus The Christ ̈ and have felt so much closer to him. My goal for this upcoming year is to focus my life around Him, and do all that I can to bring my will more in line with His. If you haven't made goals/resolutions yet for this year - I would invite you to make one of your goals to become closer to Him. It will change your life.

Love,

Hermana Spackman
