Elder Tyler Trent's Mission : October 19

¡Hola Todos!

This week was filled with great miracles. First of all, Elder Connell and I get along so good. We are already great friends. I havent laughed and had so much fun on my mission up to this point! One thing that I have definitely learned from Elder Connell is while missionary work is hard and you should be obedient and diligent, it should also be fun! We are definitely working hard but having fun do it. It makes the work so much better and happier.

This past week we were focusing on finding new investigators and helping them progress. Right now we do not have any bautismal dates or investigators coming to church and this is our biggest challenge as of now. But this past week we were able to find a lot of new investigators that have the possibility to progress.

Spiritual Experience(s) of the Week: This week I want to share a day that was full of spiritual experiences and miracles because there are too many not to. Last wednsday we were really motivated and determined to go out and find a lot more new investigators. We had set the goal of finding three. That morning alone after our studies we had two really great separate lessons with two different guys named Agustin and Jonathon. After we had lunch, we went out again to talk to a less active girl, Eliana, around 20 years old. We werent able to teach here but as we were talking to her a women came up on her moto and out of nowhere said to us in English, "Hey Guys, are you from the United States?, I want to talk to you, I will be sitting outside my house on the street over." and then she lefted. We were pretty suprised but latered went over there. Her name is Romina and turns out she is an English teacher here and spoke pretty well. She wanted to talk to us in English. At one point in the conversation we were talking about prayer. She told us how when she was little she always loved to talk to God and tell Him about her day and what she was going through. She has always believed in God but when she got older, she stopped doing it for some reason. She talked a lot about her believes, of how God had played a role in her life and her desires to be a good person and a better person. We were able to talk to her more about prayer and also about the Book of Mormon. We committed here to start praying again and also to read from the Book of Mormon. At the end she gave a very good prayer, very spiritual. Before she left she told us of a dream she had. She was in her kitchen cleaning, and felt sad like something was missing. She didnt think she believed in God anymore. She heard a knock on the door and saw God with his arms stretched forth and felt an overwhelming peace and love. She then knew that He existed and loved her.

She was definitely prepared to hear our message and was a huge miracle.

Scripture of the Week: 1 Nephi 11 I dont have time to write more about this but I would suggest reading this chapter its very good.)

Funny Experience of the Week: So, Elder Connell and I have starting saying Only In Arg. As an inside joke, because here you see some weird stuff, some strange things haha. I cant remember most of the things but for example the other day, we saw a truck drive by on a dirt road neighborhood with a tire on top of it and a dog just balancing on all fours on the tire on top of the truck. Only in Arg. We also say a older lady walk with a big bag of trash into one of the more busier streets here and chuck the garbage bag into the street and walk away like nothing happened. Only in Arg.

Names to pray for: Andres, Romina, Mario y Yacklin, Kevin y Lorena, Agustin, and Jonathon.

Love you all

All is Well

Elder Trent
