HOLA FELIZ NOCHEBUENA (christmas eve) Y FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!
This morning we killed a pig for the Asado (Argy barbeque) that we will be eating tonight with the Videla Family (the awesome fam). It was pretty cool. I took pics and everything. It weighed like 90 kilos. Pretty big. It was squealing. Bro. Videla or hueso tied the legs and Hermana Videla and Agu, the son, and we dragged it to a table thing where hermana did work putting to sleep the pig haha. We had to hold it down and everything haha. Pretty sweet! Maybe once in a lifetime thing. Flia (family) Videla always do this every year cuz basically that is what all Argys do on Christmas Eve is asado for the night and then wahoo fireworks at like 12:00 to 2:00 a.m.ish. Our street is on a main street so it'll be cool to sit on the lil porch and watch people haha. Then on the 25th Argys just kinda rest and eat more haha. After this we are going to Flia Videlas cuz we can't really do much today ha or tomorrow. I agree with Gma Merlyn in that it's pretty weird having Christmas in S. America haha. Doesn't feel Christmasy.
One of our instigators, Maria Liz (sounds like Lisa without a haha) is reading in the b o m. She's kinda busy with work etc, but says she's been reading a lil and she wanted that we give her a chapter. She says she'll be pretty busy for the next few days, so I hope she reads and can gain a testimony. Roberto is kinda crazy and doesn't want anything with us. Marta and her kids are in Buenos Aires for a lil cuz her bro is sick or somethin. There is a 12 yr old who is the granddaughter of members and she always goes with them to church and her mom is the daughter of them and we're trying to work with them cuz for real she can get bapt Saturday if she wanted. She doesn't have any lessons or anything. Her Gma mentioned how she wasn't a member and we were like, "WHAT! haha How come you haven't told us?" lol But hopefully this week we can teach them wahoo! Other than that there's not much. We found some pamphlet things on the Proclamation to the World bout the family and we thought in giving that out to less actives, members and investigators. We wrote like iFeliz Navidad from the missionaries! Hopefully it can help someone. We're workin on the less actives, cuz there's not many that go to church and it hurts! Yesterday we had 4 men including us with the priesthood. The big one, haha forgot what its called, wait I lied, 5 with someone from the stake. But the branch Maracó is the only branch in the stake of Santa Rosa, so I feel pretty cool being chosen to be here ha. But hopefully we can get things goin here. The ward here, where the other missionaries go, or their area, they have baptisms this weekend. It's pretty sweet. They've known them for three weeks and they've completely changed. It was a reference from members. That fam asked for the missionaries to give a blessin to a daughter, then they started listening. The mom and dad are tatted up like A.I. ha, but they've completely changed. The dad has almost finished reading b o m. He's read the gospels principles book!!
I've also been reading some Liahonas, well like always, and I've noticed, I've seemed to read lot bout enjoying the lil things. I read the talk from Pres. Uchtdorf in a young womens conf bout ¨forget me nots¨ it was gr8! Read it if you haven't and read it if your alive hahaha. Also today read in conf from El Ballard bout finding the gold chips and not just looking for gold nuggets in life. If that makes sense to you ha. A thing that I'm trying to get better at is enjoying life and haha on that note - on my bus ride to Santa Rosa to the Christmas party I sat by a 19 yr old who was going to Santa Rosa for his friend to enjoy life. Wow that kinda hit me. It's been like a theme of my week lol. Enjoy life! If not no one will for u.
I will be waiting after El Dalton talks with his family. He's talking at 3:00 Argy time. Then me.
Love
Elder Reginald Grant Roberts
