Bueno!!
Una buena escritura para establecer el tono de esta semana:
Sino que tengáis paciencia y soportéis esas congojas, con una firme esperanza de que algún día descansaréis de todas vuestras aflicciones.
Alma 34:41
Que locura ha sido vivir con mis compañeros.
Estoy tan agradecido de tener estos compañeros, aprendi tanto de ellos! Hemos visto muchos milagros esta semana.
Estamos disfrutando de esta área y podemos ver como el Señor nos está ayudando.
Un día se nos canceló nuestra cita de comer y otro hermano nos llamó
exactamente después para darnos de comer! El
Señor nos está protegiendo!
Tenemos una investigadora que se llama
M., ella es la mama del hermano que nos llamó para ir a comer con el. Bueno,
ella tuvo un milagro que va ser una buena herramienta para las lecciones. Ella
tuvo un sueño que entro al templo (nadamas tiene un conocimiento de cómo se ven
adentro por qué estaba leyendo la Liahona de los templos). Entro y vio muchas
luces bellas y iba con su familia; vio que todos estaban muy felices y disfrutando
del amor que tenian. Entraron a un cuarto y vio al Profeta Joseph Smith y no lo
pudo creer. Sintió una paz y felicidad cuando vio que él estaba ahí! Ella
estaba muy feliz que tuvo este sueño; y nosotros también!!!!!
El martes fuimos a almorzar a que una
hermana. Cuando estavamos entrando, a la entrada de la casa, los frenos de mi
bicicleta se me salieron y choque contra la curva. Tuve la suerte que mientras estaba
volando en el aire, caí en mis pies y nada más me rasguñé los brazos. Después
del tremendo show que le di a mis compañeros, comimos una comida muy rica!
Fuimos a la casa de la misma
hermana que nos dio almuerzo el dia anterior para buscar un árbol de Navidad.
El lunes compramos unas luces para la casa y con el árbol se ve perfecto!
Después el otro SUPER árbol que me mandaron! Ustedes son tan buenos conmigo! Estas
decoraciones son tan especiales y la creatividad está en otro nivel! Mis
compañeros agradecieron mucho esos detalles, y a ahí veo como hago con el del
Elder Barker.
J. sigue progresando muchísimo! El jueves
salió con nosotros a visitar unos instigadores. Visitamos a unos y la única que
estaba era R. Cuando llegamos ella le estaba cortando el pello a un cliente; 20
minutos después tuvimos una lección. Por mucho del tiempo ella estaba hablando. En un momento R. dejó de hablar y sentí que tenía que invitar a J. a
testificar. WOW! El espíritu vino tan fuerte cuando ella testificó! Ella dio
testigo de la importancia de leer las escrituras y como ella tomo la decisión
de leer las para saber qué eran verdaderas. Explicó cómo ella lo hico y como
vio el espíritu cambiar y guiar su vida! Un momento, mire hacia la dirección de
R. y vi cómo ella estaba tan conectada y parecía que estaba escuchando cada
palabra con delicades y humildad! J. es una Ángel!
Tuvimos que llamar a como 4 personas para
ver si me decian si me iba a quedar, o ir! Las emociones que uno siente durante
la semana de traslados es un poco ansiosa por qué nunca sabes. Bueno llego la noche y llegamos a la
casa a las 9p.m. y se llama "chisme night", la noche que nos dice si
nos vamos o no, por qué todos los Elderes están llamandose los unos a otros
para ver si se van o se quedan, es tan chistos por qué el teléfono no déjà de
sonar hasta las 10:30. Hay no, que chiste! Bueno los resultados del cambio es
que… Yo me voy a quedar otro traslado! Los DOS
se me van a otras áreas y a mí me va llegar el Elder Delgado. Estoy emocionado
por qué dicen que es converso a la Iglesia y que sabe cómo enseñar bien!Les
digo más de él la próxima semana.
Bueno
yo estoy bien; mis azúcares todavía están locas!
Estamos
en contacto,

ENGLISH
Well!!! A great scripture to establish the tone of this week
is:
But that ye have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions.Alma 34:41
It has been so crazy living with my companions. I am so grateful
to have had them; I learned so much from them.
We have seen
many miracles this week. We are
enjoying this area and we can see how the Lord is helping us. For example one day our lunch
appointment was cancelled and right after another brother called to see if he
could feed us! The Lord is protecting us!
We have an
investigator called M. she is the
mother of the brother that called to feed us. Well, she experienced a miracle that is going to be a great
tool in our lessons. She had a
dream that she entered into the temple (the only knowledge she has of what
temples look like from the inside is through the Ensign). In her dream she entered and saw many
beautiful lights and she was with her family. She saw that they were very happy and enjoying the love they
shared. They entered into a room
and she saw the Prophet Joseph Smith and she could not believe it. She felt a peace and happiness when she
saw him there. She was very happy
she had this dream; we were to!!!
On Tuesday
we went to have lunch at a sister’s house. When we were near the entrance of her home, the breaks on my
bike gave out and I hit the curb hard.
I was lucky that as I flew through the air I still managed to land on my
feet and escaped with only some scratches on my arm. After the show I put on for my companions we had a delicious
meal.
On Thursday we went to that same sister’s house and picked
up a Christmas tree she gave us.
On Monday we had brought some lights for the apartment and with the tree
it was perfect! Then there was that amazing tree you guys made and sent me!!!
You guys are so good to me!!! Those decorations are so special and your
creativity is on another level. My
companions are so thankful for including them as well, I will see how I can get
Elder Barker his.
J. continues
to progress so much! On Thursday
she went with us to visit some investigators. We visited some but the only one
that was home was R. When we
arrived she was in the middle of cutting a clients hair; 20 minutes later we
had our lesson. For most of the
time she spoke a lot. In a paused moment I felt like I should ask J. to
testify. WOW! The spirit came
strong when she testified! She gave testimony of the importance of reading our
scriptures and how she made the decision to read them so she could know for
herself that they were true. She
explained how she did it and how she saw the spirit start to change and guide
her life! During this time I turned to look at R and I saw how she was hanging
on to every word that was coming out of her mouth, there was humility to her countenance. J is an angel!
Well
December is here you cam imagine how serious the Christmas plans are
progressing. Already on one of the
brothers has given me music to practice for an even in two weeks. I have been very lucky to be learning
them so quickly. They gave me one
that when I looked at it I was like WOW I am going to have to practice this one
a couple of times. I am not lying
when I say I only practiced it one time last week and one time before the rehearsal
and it came out almost perfect. I
told the brethren that I didn’t know if I was going to be in this zone at the
time of the event because transfers where coming on Tuesday.
Well we had
to call like 4 people to find out if I was leaving or staying! I felt very
anxious in the days leading up to transfer week because you never know. Well we arrived home at 9 on “gossip
night”; they call it that because all the Elders call each other to say what
their verdict is. The phone
doesn’t stop ringing till 10:30pm.
Oh it’s so funny!!! Well the results of transfers is… I am staying in
this area for another transfer! Both of my companions are leaving me and my new
companion is Elder Delgado. I am excited because they say he is a convert and
he knows how to teach well! I will tell you more about him next week.
Well I am okay; my blood sugars are still going crazy!
Talk soon,
Elder Argüelles
