Hello! How is everyone doing? :) How was your spring break with the cousins in Reno? I heard it was really fun!! :D
Well last week on P-day, Elder Bravo and I ran into this guy who was an investigator of the hermanas, and he was progressing really well and even had a date for baptism this week which he was ready for! We talked to him, and he was supposed to move to Rosario, which is why the hermanas lost contact with him, but he couldn't or something, so he´s living in Venado Tuerto right now!! So after we talked to him we called the hermanas and they were really excited :) So he´s going to be baptized next week! That was pretty neat, he has a sick beard!
Well, we worked really hard, and met some pretty neat people! We have this reference who accepted a lot of what we said, and he was excited to read and pray about the Book of Mormon! That's always really cool to hear haha.
I got a haircut! I think it´s pretty short :P You know me haha I prefer it a little longer, but it´s nice I suppose :)
The biggest news of this week is that Rocio was baptized yesterday! haha it was awesome! Elder Bravo baptized her :) It was a really neat experience. I love seeing the smiles on people's faces when they come out of the water. For the rest of the day they just seem so happy and different. Excited to follow Jesus Christ and to make this covenant :) It´s super cool to be able to see these changes and the pure desire to do what is right in these kids. Luckily, the water was a lot warmer :) she was really worried about that haha. She kept mentioning it all week when we would pass by her, after what happened to her brother! I still feel pretty bad about that :P Oh wow! I didn't know this but I guess right after Danilo´s baptism his scooter thing broke down, and was trying to fix it and some cop thought he was trying to steal it. So they searched him and were talking to him for a long time. RIGHT after his baptism! A lot of members like to joke that right after his baptism he got hit with this bummy thing :P I think he´s doing pretty good now! At least, that´s what I think happened :P Spanish is still pretty iffy at times for me. It could be completely different what happened! I have actually been going into Spanglish mode haha, where I will be talking to someone Latino and say something in English, believing that I am actually speaking Spanish, but they just look at me really confused. haha that has happened to me quite a few times actually this week and we both end up feeling really confused and awkward :P It´s awesome.
I guess there are a lot of Jehovah´s Witnesses in the area, because a ton of people confuse us with them. They always say, you came by yesterday, leave me alone! Or something and Elder Bravo and I are like... we were somewhere completely different haha. We saw a bunch one day contacting. It was like deja vu, they were in pairs, even wearing some missionary clothes!
Well Elder Bravo and I watched "The Emma Smith" movie last night, and wow!! What a great movie! I hadn't seen it before! I really enjoyed it. She had great faith :) I love that Smith family, I always feel excited when I hear their stories.
I met a hardcore drunk guy the other day. He smelled horrible and was saying random devil stuff and really, really slurred. He couldn't focus his eyes and kept grabbing my hand and pulling me close so he could say something really drunk and I would just say, "Oh que bueno", and let go haha. It was really weird and I even felt sick afterward :/ We´re going to come back to talk to his grandma later. It was just such a bizarre experience!
Well I love you guys!! I hope and pray you are all doing amazing! :)
Les amo,
Elder Alek Clubb
