Week 24: Locro

This week has been super interesting.  We've been finding tons of new people to teach!  On Saturday there was a ward party, and we were in charge of helping this old member lady make the soup, Locro. It was super fun.  it's basically a giant stew that you cook over a fire.  All you do is throw in like a whole cow, like every part.  One guy had a 10 inch long piece of intestine in his bowl, lucky right? Ha ha.  Its actually pretty good, but not going to lie it wasn't my favorite.

This week I learned the importance of following the promptings of the Spirit.  I've learned that when you get a prompting its so easy to dismiss it, super super easy.  Theres always a billion and one reasons why you shouldn't do it; your scared, you think it will embarrass you, or maybe you think that the prompting came from yourself.  These are all thoughts from the adversary.  I know that all good things come from God, and when we follow our promptings we can see amazing things happen. By doing that me and my comp have found 13 super great people this week.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I have to be here in Argentina right now.  I'm here in Pichanal for another 6 weeks, so that super cool too.

Nos vemos amigos,
