So
the week started out kinda slow....we had just come off of that whole
thing with Jackie and Brisa and we didnt think we were going to be able
to have any baptisms at all this transfer! BUT, we had divisions on
Tuesday and I went to Moreno with my district leader Elder Ponce, and
Elder Eppich and Elder Oleson stayed in La Perlita. They seem to have
had a really good time because they found a bunch of new investigators
for us, got three baptismal dates, and talked to Jackie and Brisa really
quickly. It was Jackie's birthday and she invited them to go have some
food. They went and she seemed perfectly fine like nothing had happened.
And can I just say that it was POURING rain that day. Not fun. But we
were able to get into a guys house that talked to the missionaries in
1998 and was investigating the church a ton! he has read the whole BoM,
and prayed like a million times about its truth. But up until now still
hasn't recieved an answer. Hope he can eventually. Anyway, we went back
to Brisa and Jackies house on friday I think, but there wasnt a man
there so we had to stand outside the window and do a lesson with them.
haha it was something I wont forget, but it was a really good lesson and
we commited brisa to baptism this coming friday! SHe was way excited
and told us before she was really sad because she didnt go to church,
she couldnt get baptized this past friday. Hope that makes sense. But
they came to church yesterday! SO she can get baptized for sure. We're
super stoked! We finally have our first baptism when we thought we would
have had one like a month ago. Other than those two nothing super
interesting has happened with investigators, but im not sure if i talked
about Flavia before. SHe is a 35 year old woman we found just doing a
contact. And everything we say she is just like whoa yeah that makes
sense! And we talked to her about coming to church on saturday and she
said yeah ill go for sure. But we tried calling her sunday morning and
nothing. We thought she wouldnt show up. BUT SHE CAME!!!! haha i was
sitting on the stand to bless the sacrament and didnt even notice her
until i went to sit back next to Elder Eppich. It was a pretty funny
moment. But you probably had to have been there. As for José, he is
still smoking....we have done everything we can think of but....its not
working. We dont know what else to do. We have motivated, called him
every day, passed by a ton, taught the word of wisdom as powerfully as
we could...but he still smokes! We did that tobaco tea, we gave him
citrus stuff, we gave him suckers to eat instead....nothing. Its
frustrating how addictive that stuff is. Well thats all I want to talk
about as far as investigators.
As for other non missionary things....it has been raining soooooooo
much! haha I have never had this much rain in my life, or maybe its
just because I have never had to walk around in it all day. Probably
that. I also realized how Argentine I have become. I have just been
freezing all the time, even though its only been like 40 degrees at the
least! Hah I'm a baby now. Also, Ii always have to drink a manzanilla
tea in the morning to warm me up. That is really Argentine too, and its
not breaking the word of wisdom, i dont know what the herb is called but
its good, I checked. :)
Also last week we went to a place called Carrefour for pday. its kinda like Walmart but of Argentina. I found balsamic vinegar there! So of course I bought that and some olive oil to mix together with some parmesan cheese to eat with bread. Thanks for teaching me that dad its delicious :)

wonderfull day/week till I get to write you all again! Live life to the
fullest and enjoy being with your families, not that I'm trunky, but we
had a class on keeping the Sabbath day holy this Sunday, and it made me

Love elder Wells
