Twins in Argentina: Rhett

Hola Familia y Amigos!

This week a lot of cool things happened. Through working with members and the Lord's help we have been able to find many people prepared for the gospel. It's been pretty amazing and we are always busy with people to teach. Yesterday we had some cool things happen. Jose continues to go to church and I had the opportunity to confirm him a member of the Church. He loves it and should be receiving the priesthood in the coming weeks. It's so great to see him progress in the gospel and the smile on his face when he comes to church. Yesterday one of our investigators, Karina and her 4 kids all came to church as well. She just had a newborn baby so she hasn't been able to come but we walked all the way over to her house Sunday and she came with us! She loved it and her kids seemed to make some new friends and enjoyed it as well. She is super ready for the gospel and should be getting baptized in the coming weeks.

We have been teaching this guy named Wilson with his wife Graciela. We found them a few weeks ago and they are progressing a lot as well. Wilson is from Argentina but moved to Paraguay a couple years ago to live with his wife and all of her family which comes out to 13 people in total, and he is the only one that works. He just built a little house that doesn't even have a floor so that he and his wife could sleep there while all the kids live in the small house next door. His situation is super bad, it's really sad to see. He wanted to come to church a week ago but didn't even have shoes so he didnt want to go. We have been teaching him and his wife a lot about how when we have faith and do the things Heavenly Father asks us to do, the Lord blesses us with all the other things we need. He and his wife really like the lessons and want to follow. They have so much faith it's crazy. From being here it's made me so grateful for the things God has given me. But even though these people basically have nothing, they are happy and are grateful for everything they have. How great is it to know that no matter where we are, what we have, or what happens in our lives we are all brothers and sisters of a Heavenly Father that loves us so much. So much that he gave his son to die for us so that we could one day return and have all that He has. I know that all is worth it when we follow Jesus Christ and His gospel. I know it will bless Wilson and Graciela if they continue to have the faith and follow. I'm excited to see them continue to progress in the gospel! I know Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He invites us all to come unto Him, especially during this Easter Season when we can think a little more about what He really did for each and every one of us. I love my Savior and am so grateful for this opportunity I have to try and be a little more like Him. I hope you all have a great Easter! Much Love
