Happy 2017! I hope everyone starts out this year good! My year started out the same way it did last year, sleeping. We wanted to set an alarm to wake up before 12 but we were too exhausted to wake up and watch the firework that go off everywhere here for New years. Anyways this week was pretty crazy, Im just getting used to my new area..again after being flashed here on Monday. Ever since then its been nonstop. I thought before I didnt have any time as a missionary, but now I really dont as a zone leader. The first few days were a little stressful, trying to figure out what im doing, but as the week went on I was able to calm down quite a bit. Im here with Elder Vance from Arizona. Hes only has two months left on his mission, so will probably finish with me here in Villa Teseí. My area heres pretty nice, its the closest thing Ive seen here in Argentina that looks like an American neighborhood. The area right now is a little slow, we dont have much to work with, so we are contacting a lot of people and looking up old investigators. We did have a cool experience though this week with an investigator we found. His name is Kevin and is only 17 yrs old. We were teaching him the Restoration as usual and got to the part were we felt we should invite him to be baptized. He said no, because he was already baptized and it marked him in his life. We struggled trying to explain more about the Apostasy and the authority to baptize and all that, but it wasnt working. Im not really sure how to explain what happened next, but basically the Spirit just took over, as we took a step back and let the Spirit teach. After a few inspired questions and good listening, he surprising changed his mind and accepted a date to be baptized, being able to feel relief of his sins mainly calling his attention.
The Spirit teaches!
Love you all!
Elder Trent
