I had a great week this week and Elder Sasselli and I are having a great time here together. We had a really great zone conference with President and Hermana Da Silva in which we learned a lot about faith and about taking missionary work here in Uruguay to Level 3... Level 1 = missionaries working on their own... Level 2 = members helping missioaries with the work and ... Level 3 = missionaries helping the members to have missionary experiences and invite their friends to church. We have already seen many miracles here in Belloni and have seen many members here bringing friends to church or inviting them to the ward activity that we set up and had last saturday. It turned out well and we had about 40 members there, a good turn out for what our ward missionary leader told us is the usual attendence. Jaqueline Turco is going to be baptized this saturday at 6:00 and both she and we are excited for that.
Yes, here in Uruguay (and in parts of Argentina) the ¨ll¨ is pronounced as if it were ¨sh¨. That`s just how they talk down here in Uruguay. They don`t really speak spanish, they speak what is called Castellano. which is pretty much exactly the same but with a little different pronunciation.
Thanks for everything and I want to let you know that I love you all so very much and am enjoying every second of my mission and learning more than I ever expected to learn. Today for lunch I made the four of us that live together sloppy joes and everyone said that they were really good. I guess my cooking skills are improving a little bit. Keep being a light to the world, love you. Study Preach my Gospel as a family, I know that you will be very blessed if you do and that the Lord will bless you with more opportunities to share the gospel with others.
Love,
Elder Gardner
