Chivilcoy Week 9! Members are the best!

Hola amigos!
¿Cómo están todos? Well, Hermana Cheever is doing great! Loving the mission, loving Chivilcoy, loving life!

I love working with members. A few weeks ago the investigator of the hermanas, Fernando, gave us a referral of his sister, Marcela, who lives in our area. We had contacted her, but she was busy. After Fernando's baptism on Friday he was asking us about her and said that the next day he was gong to go over to her house to help with some things and invited us to come meet her then. We passed by and she is great! Fernando hadn't told them that he was getting baptized, so he told them there that he was getting baptized and would be confirmed the next day in church, so they came to church! Also, his parents who live in campo came to church and they agreed to meet with us when we go to Marcela's house! It was so great! 

Also on Friday Cesar, the recent convert of the elders, accompanied us to a lesson with Fabricio and after he told us he wanted to introduce us to the grandma of Juan (the recent convert of the hermanas). So he told us where she lived and we went over there and she is so great! She's 88 years old and can't get around much, but she said if someone brings her, she'll come to church! She also accepted a baptismal date! She is so great!!!! 

This has really strengthened my testimony of working with the members. Even when it's just letting them see that we're good, obedient missionaries, they give us the names of their family and friends, sometimes without us even asking. 

As far as the rest of the work goes, it's going pretty well! We've been doing lots of follow-up with the investigators we found last week and we found a few really great ones this week too. Last week I talked about the three moms that we found that one had lost her pregnancy. Yesterday we taught them the Plan of Salvation, and they loved it! They were so intrigued and as soon as we finished explaining one part, they'd be like "okay, so that's where we came from, now why are we here?" "Okay, that's the purpose of life, now for what we've been waiting for. What happens after this life?" They are so receptive in this moment! I think we truly found them in their perfect moment.
This week we're going to the temple!!! I'm so excited!
Well, that's all for this week! I love you all!
-Hermana Cheever
