New week

Hello,

This week was good!! On wednesday we had special training in ramos mejia! It was super good!! president talked about how if god created the sun and all about the power of the sun and a lot about the light of christ. and also how we need to have faith that the person who created the sun can change the heart of someone!! it was super powerful and an awesome faith booster!!

so i have found out alot about member missionaries this week!!! frist off that it is so important that the members help the missionaries. the missionaries CANNOT do it alone... and second off that the ones here dont want to be member missionaries... we have been passing by the house of every active member this week and having a family night with them. so who did we start with? the most logical in my mind! The ward mission leader!! we had a good lesson with him and his wife and his three boys and at the end he says this is great for every one but me. (being completly serious.) and i said no you are theLEADER misional. you need to be the example!! and then he said "ok then ill just asked to be realsed..." only half way joking... as we have been passing by the families to follow up on their goals. it turns out that every one has made up some excuse of why they couldnt do it... the goal isnt even hard... it is to get them to have one person to say no to an invitation to church or to listen to the missonaries. that way they dont get dicouraged when someone says no. because yes someone is going to say no. and eventually someone will say yes!! its a win win!!! we'll see if they start pulling through!!

so what a week!!

to start off the dedication of the cordoba temple was awesome!!
president uchtdorf and elder christofferson came! and the area
presidency!! it was very good all the messages give were up lifting
and made me want to go to the temple!!

after the dedication we had an excellent day planed with 5 scheduled
lessons every hour! they all canceled... so we were left in the street
knocking for a while last night with out very much success. i know
that the lord always blesses us if we are patient so we will just keep
doing what we need to do and keep praying and hoping! tenemos la fe!!

so we had a really cool experience this week!! so as i have said after this last transfer we were kind of left with very little investigators... so lately we have been doing alot of door knocking!!! onFriday we went to alot of the exsisting investigators that we have and i got way down because it kind of fell apart... but i turnes out that god was just testing our faith!! on saturday we went to a ladys house who told us to come back. she wasnt there... so we started kknocking on doors. we knocked on a door i felt we should and the guy alejandro came out and let us right in! how awesome is that he lives with his mom who is 91 years old!! wow!! they didnt have much time so we taught about how god loves us and profets and jesus christ and they loved it!! we have and apointment on wednesday with them!!! then to lunch and then to a lady we talked to the other day. she and her husband were there and also let us right in!!! we taught them about the restoration!!! it was awesome! they said they would pray and ask if it was true!!! we have an apointment today!!! after that we went to visit some investigators that elder udall and talked to once like 4 weeks ago and they accepted us very well and at then end of the lesson we invited them to be baptised on the 30th of may and they accepted. cristian and yamila are their names!! they are a young couple!!! they came to church and the ward got to know them and it was awesome!!! 

god is good!!!

Love, Elder Groen
