Milagros and Maté: Countdown till the World Cup

Hey yall!

I hope yall are doing well. Only 10 more days until Uruguay plays in the World Cup!!! Here are some highlights from this week:

- We had a lot of lessons with members this week, asking for references. One member, Estela, took us to meet her friend. When we got to the house Estela said, '' I have a gift for you and brought some of my friends, can we chat for a minute?'' After we sat down in her friend's house, she said '' here is my gift for you'' and handed her a Book of Mormon. We taught her friend a little about the plan God has for each of his children. Even though she doesn't want to meet with us again, it was so cool to see Estela share her love for the gospel with her friend. Estela is such a good missionary!

- We have been working with an inactive member and she's been coming to church. We have been trying to work with her family too. This week her daughter accepted the invitation to be baptized. When we asked her how she felt about baptism she said, "It just makes me feel so happy!" It was so cute!

- Juan Silva passed his baptismal interview and is going to get baptized Saturday!

- We got a reference from a member for an inactive member. When we went to visit her, we found her daughter who is 17. She was super nice and we are hoping to start teaching her.

- We had lunch on Sunday with Sandra and Mirtha. They are my favorite! They talk so much but are so funny. We ate so much and then that night we went to our bishop's house and he gave us asado. I was so full.

I read a talk this morning about the character of Christ and I loved this quote '' Jesus, who suffered the most, has the most compassion for all of us who suffer so much less.'' The story of Jesus would not be the same if it was not for his character. He was rejected, hated, and mocked yet He still loved everyone. No matter what He was going through He looked for a way to turn out to help someone in need. Christ is the best example!

I hope yall have a great week!
