I'll explain the subject line
really quickly. This past weekend, two investigators accepted baptismal
dates, and we are so excited for both! We are almost perfectly certain
that they will be baptized. One of them is Gabriela, the daughter of
Enrique (who was baptized three weeks before), and she is 18 years old.
She keeps telling me so very directly that she wants to marry me. Like,
to the point of talking about our Hillitos ("little Hills"), which is
really weird but I honestly don't mind it that much because I want her
baptized for her own sake, not so I can have a free latina wife.
Furthermore, her sister accused Elder Ericksen of liking Gabriela, too,
so they started this joke about a love triangle situation. I described
it more accurately to Elder Ericksen afterwards as an imaginary love
triangle that is actually a point trying to be a line. So funny. But
yes, I testify that snakes are a very real danger here in Argentina. And
goodness, these snakes come out of nowhere and strike all over. It's a
challenge. But I will endure it with faith and LOL (Lots Of Love).
Today
we went with our zone to Valle Grande again, which was great because
they're much more tranquil people so I enjoyed the scenery a lot more
with fewer distractions. I was also burnt chili red despite the clouds,
which really hurts. My nose stings every time I even brush it. But it
was completely worth it.
I just want to remind
you all that I am ridiculously happy to be here. I have been having such
bright, happy days, full of sunlight (but mostly spiritually, because
it's been raining almost the whole week - that has only helped my mood).
I know that my Redeemer lives. I love Him so, and I know He loves me as
a chosen child. He loves infinitely. I so testify in His name, in the
name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.
With much love,
Elder Hill
