Elder Tuttle's Mission: Week 24- A Handleless Knife and A New Companion

What a week!

Tuesday we spent all day in Curuzu having district meeting. We talked about personal revelation and how we can work better with the members. We made plans to talk to the members in one of the classes and have a discussion about how we can work better with them.

Wednesday we taught our progressing investigator Ramiro and also found and taught a young man who is atheist. We had a really good discussion with him and he said he will read the Book of Mormon!

Thursday we got to serve a member by cutting some of her grass that was up against her house. We spent the rest of the day looking for old investigators but with little success.

Friday we went to a recent convert's house to help him build his house. We were all changed and ready to help and then he looked at the sky and told us to come a different day. He did have us help him make his lunch and I got to cut up everything with a handleless knife!! haha

Saturday we were able to teach Raul, one of our investigators, and he is doing really well. He still needs to come to church but one day it'll happen! We also went to President Ramirez's house and had an asado (BBQ) for his dad's birthday.

Sunday morning Elder Fisher and I were walking and I got a call that I was going to a city called Goya (said "Goysha")! We had a great rest of Sunday. Sacrament meeting went very well. When we got back to the pension we went up to the roof and watched the sun go down over Mercedes!

Monday we got up nice and early to go to Resistencia!! We waited around all day and then I got on a bus with a bunch of other missionaries in my zone to go to Goya. I met my companion that night and Elder Willard is awesome! He's from Preston, Idaho and loves country music. We are going to have such a great transfer and will baptize a ton here!

I was reading a talk by Elder Holland titled "Safety for the Soul" which has now become one of my favorites. He so powerfully bears his testimony of the book of Mormon and I want to share that with all of you. I invite all of you to listen, read, or better watch this talk!

Thanks so much for all the letters and prayers.
