Elder Daxton Starkey in Salta Argentina: Week 42

We had a lot of ups and downs this week, but in the end it turned out awesome. Transfers were this week and I was so worried I was going to be leaving Jujuy after three months here, but I stayed! I'm so excited to have more time here.

It's been raining a ton here! But it's nice compared to all the sun we've been getting.

So like I said in my last letter, the Catacata family was going to get baptized on Saturday, well two of them Sol and Martina. Something happened and we had to postpone the baptism. It was way sad that Friday night, they were so excited and then they had to wait another week. Then Sunday came, we were sitting in fast and testimony meeting with the family when the mom, Ana, got up and walked up to the pulpit. She bore her testimony about prayer and how even though she was sad because her daughters were sad about the baptism falling through, she had prayed for comfort and felt the reason the baptism fell through was because she needed to get baptized with her daughters. You could feel the spirit so strong. I'm so grateful to be here and see firsthand the Atonement working in these peoples lives.
