ill
explain the name now.. so last week i went on splits with another elder
in our zone for 3 days.. i got to spend monday home, but on tuesday
right after district meeting, i went with another elder named elder
searcy and he lives with the zone leaders.. it was a CRAZY three days..
these elders were very different than what i was used too.. i got there,
and they were completely normal.. but after about an hour they were
just super crazy! the only thing i can compare them to is 3 crazy
college room mates! great men, just a little crazy! and i spent 3 days
with them! haha super interesting, and then i came back on thursday, and
spent that with elder donahoo, but we got a call that night that i had
to do " tramites" which is pretty much my clearance to live in
argentina... and so i left and spent the night with the ap elders..
super fun, and theyve got a huge house with about two million beds! haha
super fun! then i spent all day on friday doing tramites, but i got to
see elder way!!! i hadnt seen him for weeks! it was soo nice! and two of
the hermanas from my mtc district were there too! it was a little
reunion! but after i went home, and it was nice to be home!
this
past week was a little rough because the success here isnt always great
in argentina and this past week was hard finding people to bring to
church, and finding people to teach.. me and elder donahoo invited 3 or 4
of our good investigators who we really care about and are trying hard
on to come to church, and they just dont see the importance of attending
church.. its sad.. but were going to keep trying!
yesterday
me and elder donahoo attended a baptism for some sisters in our
district, and a woman i met at conference last week named susanna who i
found out im baptizing was there. it was soo great to see susanna
because she has such an excitement and desire to get baptized, and last
night we just totally pumped her up with even more excitement to get
baptized!
after
the baptism, we visited another one of the sisters investigators named
lucas. weve known lucas for a couple weeks, and he wanted us to stop by
to give him another blessing to help him stop smoking! and elder donahoo
told me i was going to give the blessing beforehand.. and i DID!!! i
gave a whole blessing in spanish! it was the coolest thing, and sooo
spiritual! we asked him to get baptized this saturday with susanna, and
he agreed so if he can stop smoking by this saturday then ill baptize
susanna and elder donahoo will baptize lucas!
argentina
is soo beautiful the people are great, and the work here is real! this
will be my last week in this transfer! im sad to leave elder donahoo,
but its gonna be great! i have a testimony that the lord will help all
of us because he has a plan of happiness for all of us!
i love all of you and pray for you!
with love,
Elder Ty Driggs
