Vision to Baptize, Faith to Find and Power that Will be Manifest

Hermana Cadena celebrating 5 months as a missionary


We Love the Children of Rosario
Hola Hola Hola, I'm excited to tell you about how great our week was. We taught a lot.  We shared the Book of Mormon with every person that we could and shared our testimonies. Some rejected, some accepted, some gave us their addresses so that we could teach them again. We found 7 new investigators who have great potential and all this through the power of the Book of Mormon. 

We had a zone conference in which we were able to learn more about the Book of Mormon and be strengthened by the testimonies of our leaders. We were invited to change our perspective and our mindset-- to have the vision to baptize, the faith to find, the power that will be manifest to others as we allow the Book of Mormon to speak for itself. 

The Sisters of the Zone
News: Marina went to the temple this last weekend!! She is progressing beautifully and just carries a special light with her!

Jose and Emiliano are doing great! They are reading the Book of Mormon and we are hoping to have a fun Family Home Evening with their family this week. They are progressing in their english as well ;)

Hot Sauce- Mexican Style
Hermana Cadena made a hot sauce with chiles and it is super good. Argentinos do not believe in spicy food, so it has been fun to taste it after so long. Also we hear jokes every day about Hermana Cadenas's name. It literally means Sister Chain, haha, so you can think of some of the jokes people come up with.

We found a young girl this week who we began to teach, Florencia, 16 years old. Turns out she is a friend of a member! Even better.  We found a man who is probably about 30 years old, Ezekiel, who is way receptive and works in a panaderia so win win!

And best for last... KEVIN. Okay, so we found Kevin in the first few days Hna Cadena was here. He is 14 years old. Right from the start we knew he was special, which was a pain in the next week when we could not find the kid--his address did not exist. Well... YESTERDAY he passed by on his bike and stopped to talk to us. This time he gave us his real address, having then gained more confidence, and then set off. THEN,  he came back after 5 minutes and gave us a referral to visit his aunt and just stuck with us. We were walking along a dirt road and he was walking his bike, and I felt impressed to share the first vision with him.  We told him of another 14 year old boy who had the desire to know the truth, Joseph Smith. Well, as we were teaching him, the sun was as red as fire, and was setting on the horizon. Hna cadena said, "Joseph explained how the glory of the father and the son was brighter than the sun." In this moment I felt the spirit so strongly, and I pondered how a young man of  just 14 years had the pure desire to know the truth. Kevin is a very special kid, and we are excited to continue teaching him. 
Above the brightness of the Sun
With Kevin

The church is true.
