Neat Story:
Well first of all we are going to have 2 baptisms this Saturday. I am pretty excited about that. I am going to baptize one of them and Elder Lindsey is going to baptize the other. The scary part is one of the girls is only 20 years old and you are an adult when you turn 21 here in Argentina so she needed an authorization form. Well at first her mom was all for it and was way nice to us. Then people started talking to her telling her that we were a cult and that we are here to steal her daughter and take her to the US and all this garbage. So then she didnt want to sign the paper. but we talked to her Monday and she signed it. We were really worried at first because this girl is so strong in the church already. She went and bought a bunch of modest clothes for when she goes through the temple and here that is huge because most girls wear pretty much what Kelsey wears for volleyball but a spaghetti strap shirt with the stomach showing. She is already sacrificing so much it is crazy. I will send pics of the baptism next week. Also the other day we were teaching this lady and her mom last Thursday and I learned something really important. They are catholic and they kept trying to convince us of catholicism. Wow I could go on for a day about how wrong the Catholic church is but thats not the point. With every doctrine we taught they tried to contend with us and convince us of their point of view. We just simply bore humple, sincere testimony that the things we talked about were true. I realized in that lesson the power of a sincere testimony. They contended with every point of doctrine but they couldnt say anything to a sincere testimony. I learned that our testimonies is one of the most powerful "weapons" we have as missionaries and as members of the church. At some point in time we are backed up to the wall of faith and when we are, we simply need to bear sincere testimony of what we know and there is nothing they can say.
