Translados!

This week has been very busy! We spent most of the week visitng less active members and searching for references. Then on Sunday, two of our investigators, Hernana and Indira, came to church! Hermana Silva and I were so excited, we could hardly contain it :) Hernan has accepted baptism, so now we´re just trying to find a baptismal date that can work with his schedule!! Indira is sooo close as well, espècially now that she has come to church and felt the spirit during the sacrament! :) She´s full of love and has such a strong desire to follow Jesus Christ! 

Today I experienced my first transfer! Hermana Silva and I woke up early this morning and rode the train for 2 hours to get to Banfield, where we had a meeting with all the missionaries who are involved in transfers. It was a crazy morning! I´m staying in La Plata 1, but I have a new compañera now, Hermana Flores :) She´s from El Salvador and has 15 months in the mission. We´ve only had one day together, but I love her already! We´re ready to get to work and continue serving the Lord :) 

I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true, with all my heart! I wouldn´t be here in Argentina if I didn´t! Love you all :) have a great week!! Stay safe!

Con mucho amor, Hermana Orgill

CARNAVAL

This week has been a little different, because our P-day is today (Wednesday) instead of on Monday like usual! It was Carnaval here in Argentina on Monday and Tuesday, and almost everyone had work off! This meant that there would be lots of families spending time together at home, so my Mission President decided to experiment by changing our P-day so that we could take advantage of everyone being at home. It was a great experience, we got to contact so many references and visit many families! I´m sure you´re all wondering how the Carnaval was, but I wouldn´t know :) we stayed clear! But we heard the music and saw the fireworks during the evening, it was definitely a fiesta!

I´ve been focusing on gratitude a lot this week and I found this quote by President Uchtdorf, "Gratitude to our Father in Heaven broadens our perception and clears our vision. It inspires humility and fosters empathy toward our fellowmen and all of God´s creations. Gratitude is a catalyst to all Christlike attributes! A thankful heart is the parent of all virtues."

Isn´t that a golden quote?! Our purpose of coming to the Earth is to obtain a body, gain experience, and prepare ourselves to live with God again one day. An important part of praparing ourselves to meet God is to try to become more Christlike, and we can do that by having a thankful heart! Always remember to give thanks and to count your blessings :) it can make ALL the difference!

Love you all, stay safe :) have a great week!!

The Work Goes On :)

This week was a little slow, especially because of the heat! My area, La Plata, is like an oven right now ;) So there aren´t very many people out in the streets during the day and most of the people spend their time sleeping when they´re at home, so they don´t answer the door. But all is well, the work goes on! :) and what a wonderful work it is! We found a new investigator this week! He is the lifelong friend of one of our less actives and he has been reading the Book of Mormon nonstop since our first visit! Mi compañera and I are very excited to work with him and help him realize how wonderful this Gospel truly is! :)

We had our Zone activity today, which was a blast! We played dodgeball, ate ice cream, and then watched the Elders play an intense game of fútbol! I also got to eat lunch at Subway today! It´s crazy how it´s almost EXACTLY the same as the Subway in Grantsville! It tastes the same too :)

Overall, it has been a great week! I´m grateful to have this oppotunity to serve the Lord with all my heart, might, mind and strength! Read D&C 4 when you get the chance, every member a missionary!
Love you all :) stay safe!

Con mucho amor, Hermana Orgill
