Hurlingham, #9

Hurlingham Polo Club

So I am getting transferred! I will be going to the area of Hurlingham (I've never been there so I don't know what it is like) and my new companion is Elder Lopez (not sure where he is from), I will leave Las Heras tomorrow. I am very happy for the time I have had here to work and build the church. This new area will be the ninth in my mission and my 17th companion (I hope that's a good thing!). I have been very blessed to see much of the church in Argentina. It is truly a marvelous work and a wonder. 

This week we traveled to another area to go on divisions with the Zone leaders. I went with Elder Gutierrez from Peru. We had a great day, even through the cold and rain we were able to find many new people to teach. The lesson I learned is that the Lord rewards our work, we get what we work for.

In church, the stake president's counselor, Brother Carrizo, spoke to us. He told a funny story about how one morning he woke up late for work. He had to leave by 6:00 am to take the train and he woke up and it was already 6:18 am. So he ran out the door and caught a bus to the train and when paid his train ticket the clock at the station said 3:30 am. Confused, he asked the employee what time it was. He confirmed that it was 3:30. Something had happened with his cell phone that changed the time. He was so focused on getting to work, that he paid no attention to his surroundings, like the fact that he was the only one at the station when it is normally full of people at 6:00 am. The lesson he shared was that, even with a goal in mind, we need to be aware of our surroundings for people in need. We all have the goal to return to our Heavenly Father but we are not alone in the journey. Always be attentive to those in need.

I hope all is well back home. Stay safe everyone!
