Week in Argentina

so it was a good week. right now in the area we are having trubles finging investigators who are what we call elected, or to say in other words, people who are going to progress... so prayers we be of much appreciation!!
We had a cool experience this week that i wanted to share this week!! 

So we had a lesson planned with one of our not so ready investigators. the lesson previous to that one we taught the word of wisdom and so when we got there he came up to us and told us that he didnt want to keep listing to us. he said that he likes his wine and coffe too much. 

so we were left with out a plan but the truth is god never leaves us planless! he knew that mario was going to say that so he had something up his sleave!! we said a prayer to ask where we should go and the decided a way to walk and started walking after me and my comp both got an urge to go to the bathroom... strange... but we followed it like the obedient servants of god that we are! 

so we went to the closest members house. this members husband had been in the hospital for about a week or two but was getting better. so we got there and went and just sat out side with her and she told us that her husband had passed away the day before. so we help her feel better and we were able to advise the bishop and got the word out so that the word could help her!! we sand a hymn to her and it reminded me of when my entire extended family were all together for the passing of my grandma. as all 40ish of us stood in a small hospital room encircling the bed of my sufering grandma and sang hymn after hymn, the sprit testified to each and every one of us that it was ok and that god was right there with us and that my grandma was leaveing us only to be place in the hands of our father in heaven. as me and my companion were able to sing to her, we were able to bring a small part of that same spirit to this sister and to testify to her that he dear husband how got baptised just a short 2 months ago was in the hands of god!! i know that god watches over you and i. i know that his son jesus chirst lives! of this there is no doubt in my mind! i would like to end this letter by saying thank you so much for all the prayers!! there are very much needed!

Love, Elder Groen
