Monday night after p-day we were walking and found out that there was a soccer game going on. Boca and River, two of the biggest teams in Argentina, were playing each other. We didn't watch any of the game but we always knew what the score was because as soon as there was a goal firecrackers, cheering, and shouts of the team who scored filled the streets! Boca ended up winning 4-2 and I had a great time laughing every time the whole entire city erupted for a goal!As we were walking Boca scored and a man came running out of his house screaming "BOCA!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!" and pumping his fists! Elder Willard was a little scared at first but after the guy settled down we went over and talked to him and he ended up being the guy we were looking for haha! We had a great lesson with him and he is going to get baptized!!!Tuesday we taught the Boca guy again and that was about it. There was also a huge storm so we couldn't work in the night.Wednesday we went Esquina and had a great charla with an investigator and also met a man who has the priesthood and is willing to help find members who are there!Thursday we taught three people and they all are working towards baptism!Friday we went to esquina and found a bunch of members and many of them have children who are ready to be baptized!Saturday we went to Bella Vista to help with a capilla abierta and while we were there President Franco called us and told us that Esquina got approved to have a group there!! We are so excited and grateful for the opportunity to help bring the church there and bring the blessing of the gospel to the people of Esquina!
Thanks for all your emails and prayers!
Merry Christmas to All!
