Actually, not much happened this week! I'll talk about our investigators first.
Guebara family-- We've been trying to get them to read and pray about the Book of Mormon but they keep cancelling appointments so we can't even read WITH them right now. :(
Tovarez family-- Earlier this week during exchanges (I was with Elder Van Orman from Colonia Segovia, he's the district leader) we had a very spiritual lesson on the Restoration, and left them a reading assignment in the Book of Mormon but they didn't complete it. :(
Marinero family-- They are having doubts about the Restoration, so we are trying to get them to read the Book of Mormon (see a pattern?? haha).
I don't mean to sound depressing, haha I had a purpose in saying all that. After looking objectively at everything that's happened this week, I see one thing for sure-- that the Book of Mormon is inexcusably vital in conversion. In the words of President Monson, "If you haven't read the Book of Mormon, read it." :)
Yesterday was the dedication of the Córdoba, Argentina temple!! It was an experience that will only happen once during my mission, and it was so special. Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Christofferson (spelling? ha) were both present. Elder Christofferson speaks Spanish, and I can understand gringo Spanish so I was able to enjoy his words!! Elder Uchtdorf spoke in English then after every sentence, an interpreter followed. So I was able to understand and enjoy pretty much everything! It's such a unique spirit during the dedication of a temple, and I can't wait to attend more often when I get back!!
That's all for now. :) I love you all!!
Elder Burns
