Veronica

ANNNNNNNNND this week we were everywhere! We started this week with a good deal of great lessons. We are teaching a couple named Jesus and Daniela. They are really strong Evangelicals and at the start wanted to prove that we were not the correct church (we did not know this) there was a lot of discussion but we told them that the only way to know if the church was true or not was the Book of Mormon. We helped them understand this and they have been reading and studying a ton. It has been hard to teach them because they have been looking on the internet for answers to their questions instead of the scriptures. As a result, they have found a lot of "Satan’s finest work" but have been unable to "come to a conclusion". When we learned about what was really happening we shared a story in the Book of Mormon that I love with them. The story of Lehi´s dream. We told them that the only way to get to the love of God was to hold to the rod. They had been looking in the darkness when if they had followed the rod they would have gotten there. We have a lesson with them in a few days and they told us that they were only going to read the Book of Mormon.

On Thursday we had the opportunity to go to Veronica. They are about a 2-hour bus ride from La Plata and we are closer in Los Hornos but to get there you have to take a bus at the bus terminal and so we went to La Plata Centro (one hour more or less from LH) and then took a 2 hour bus ride to Veronica. We worked there for the day and then went back up to La Plata and down to LH the next morning. After that we worked and had a few more great lessons. When we were in Veronica we got a text from Brisa an investigator that they had put a lot of focus in teaching but was not progressing and so they stopped passing. She wanted to know what part of the Book of Mormon to read and what to read the next day. We scheduled an appointment with her had a great lesson with her where we found out why she had not gotten baptized. She is scared that after she gets baptized that she will fall. We helped her overcome her worries and now she feels ready to get baptized. She should be getting baptized in the next week or so.
