Hola familia y aimigos

Well im sorry for not really writing you guys that much last week but I wrote the sweetest letter ever with some wayyyy cool expirences and all but it got cancelled and
then it wa time to go. Hahahaha.

So the last week a member form the ward from that same family surprised mi and my comp and picked us up on last Monday and didn’t tell us where we wre going……pure
blessings by the way. So then he took us out the breakfast….some good ole empanadas and tostadas and just pure antojitos. Ahhhh. Then he said….elder minetto…you need new shoes and im buying you some today. Cause the new soles didn’t last vary long. So we
looked everywhere and oculdnt find my size….evrytime we would ask for my size there eyes would get huge and just laugh. Hahahaha. So we got permission from pres to go into a mall and finally found my size….and they were sooooooo expensive. But yep. That family rocks. And mom they says thank you vary vary much…the mom, hna corina freaked out when she got the package and ripped it open. And they loved it. Thanks.

So this week I got NO sleep at all. So the first thing was my comp got sick on wed night and had to go to the hospital at 10pm at night and the awesome family…familia
Dominguez. And the hospitals here are HORRIBLE. So we left there at 130am and got to sleep by 230am. We thought he had apendisidis….but he didn’t…just A LOT
of……brown stuff backing him up. Hahahaha. That was the nicest way to put it. Hahaha. Couldn’t think of anything else. Hahaha. Then the next night we had to deal with some elder. So no sleep but who even needs sleep….honstally I wil be way tireed but when we
get to a leasson I just wake up androcka nd roll. So all is well…..hahahahaha.

So on Sunday we had a great day at church. I really learned about having patience but persistence. So we are teaching a family of 5 and they needed to go to church and Sunday to get baptized but they had some trouble with the dad and she told mi that none of them were going to be able to go. So we helped her realize the importance of the church and having faith and told her to go inside and talk with her husband again. And like 5min
passed and she and all her kids came out ready to go to church. And they all went. On Sunday we had the blessing of havning 11 investigators in the church and they all have baptisimal dates. I have realized that if we are following the Spirit, then things just become more clear and easy.

This past week we got the p`rivalige to baptize a kid named brayan. It was a cool expirience. so we were ruching to an appt and i suddenlly got the impression to turn around and walk back down that same street, i looked at my watch and realized we would be late but i remembered when the presidente told mi to try to obey the impressiones on the first one.So i did and we started walking right back down that same street without
knowing where we were going…..as we were walking we ran into a inactive member of the church and started talking to us and she told us that there was one of her neighbors that was sick and she wanted us elderes to go by to visit her. So we went right over there and
started talking to her and she was not a member but her 1 of 2 sons were. And then we met her other son brayan. We talked with him and he had been to church alot but could never get baptized cause of his age. So he then immidatally accepted a baptisimal date and got baptized 2 days ago. If we just act upon the impressiones of the spirit right away, it will allow us to have theat 3rd companion and have more success. its something all us
missionarys lack at times….we think we can do it all ourselves. It is something that I have been personally been working on a lot and as I get the impressions , I find that God just guides us right to the baptisims…I don’t know how but he just guides us and gives us the impressions and we act upon them and it just happens. But the trick is to do it to the best of our ability so that God can count on us.

Well I love this gospel and all that it provides for us and greatful that I can be with the minetto gang for ever. Hahaha. Love you all and thanks for the support.

Love you all long time
Elder Minettto
