passing the mantle(phone)

So Family, whats cooking?? I hope everything is just doing great... so I have been called as assistant to the president of the great mission Argentina Neuquen. Its super weird, President called me on martes and asked if I could come up and help him out.. so that is what has happened and now we are here in the office and my sd card doesn’t work so I will not be able to send photos this week... haha my time has come to an end in Bariloche and it was such a good little experience and I’m super excited to start another chapter in my life here in the office... haha its super weird but I’m turning crazy!! haha

 

So this week Claudio got baptized down in bariloche. He was super pumped and the day after we had fast and testimony meeting and he got up and bore a sweet testimony in front of everyone.. I’m super pumped for him! super proud.  Really I don’t have much time, but I have been lucky that I can be a tool in the hands of the Lord.  I’m so happy for this other opportunity to serve, and become a better servant of the lord Jesus Christ! 

 

Family I love you guys! ... next week ill do it!

Hey Fam...

 

 I don’t have much to say.. Just the lord is just blessing us out the wazzuuu... We are trying our best to be super obedient and loving everyone we come in contact! On the 24 of October we have 2 baptisms and on the 31 we have 3 so please pray!

 

We have a pareja, a couple that’s not married, that has stop having sex stopped drinking stopped doing everything bad, started to repent and they will get married before the 31 and they will be baptized on the 31°° its awesome... we saw him on the street one day and he told us, Hey elders, I’m not going to have sex anymore. And my gf is going to stop drinking!!!! haah they will defiantly get baptized.  Then we have a miracle of Claudio that just came to our area that has been getting prepared and he will be baptized on the 24 with Enrique.  please pray for them that they can feel the spirit and accept to be baptized!!! :)

 

Its awesome!! I love you guys!! kill it this week!! :)

 

Elder Wessel :)

they are just doing soooo well! im so happy for them! the investigators
are keeping the commitments, they all came to church and they all left were
edified by the spirit! im so grateful for all of them... Im super happy to
be here.  Im here with two members, Lorena and Pablo, they are both served
missions and are my favorite members here. Im so grateful for all the
things they did. They brought an investigator named Raul and his son Walter
to the church. he was so spirit filled after the conference that he couldn’t
even express himself. He gets baptized now this same month. There was
another guy with his wife, named Maxi and Noelia,  they came and they have
just seen miracles in their lives.  And maxi had to leave right after
conference ended and he told his wife to tell me,  (i know for a fact that
i will be baptized on the 31.) the prophets spoke to him!

Conference was great" the investigators are awesome!! God loves us! one
thing that really stood out to me was the talk of the Prophet.  He told us
to keep  the commandments.  He was so driven that he lost strength.  But he
could have back down, and left but he did what a man of God would do.  he
stood strong, bore the testimony most strong that i have ever heard in my
life and told us to repent. And be obedient.  I know that Thomas s. Monson
is a prophet of God! I know he has been called along with all the Apostles!!
I love the gospel! BE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS; REPENT!!!

I loove you guys!

Elder Wessel :) love you guys!!!

Whatss up family??

So this week was a blur... We had 3 white washes in our zone.... That is when they take out both missionaries from their area and put in two new ones.. and they don’t know anything about the area... so we had a whole lot of time out side of our area getting to know a ton of stuff!! haha but... we didn’t even work in our area... only Wednesday, and Saturday and Sunday! it was kind of crappy! but we are helping the zone.. and God blessed us, he prepared the ward and blessed us with walter.. even tho we prepared him last week, we were only able to visit him two times this week and it was super scary.. but things went well and he was baptized and received the Holy Ghost!! so that was awesome! Seriously God is blessing us.. last week we had 8 people in church, this week again, we had 8 people in church!! investigators are flocking to the fonts! God is showing his hand and manifesting himself to all!! :) its awesome!

I really don’t have many words to say.. we didn’t really get to see that much stuff, we also had to travel to neuquen for leaders council . that was pretty cool! we got some new rules... we are going to have another zone training tonight again.. haha but we are super pumped! now, really im just super grateful and nothing else man! i know god lives.  He is blessing us.  But the greatest thing about it all is that the investigators and staying active and they have a ton of friends in the church!! i love it!!

I want to remind you guys about patience.  God loves us. We need to wait on him.  Give him time to bless us.  We work hard in patience, wait patiently on him. Pray as if all depended on him and this will work out. Even if the blessing comes immediately, tomorrow, next week, next year or after we die, we will get the blessings... its a promise!! patience real is a virtue! haha i love you guys! i love god. i love the mission work!

love Elder Wessel

whats up family,

This week was super fetching crazy!!! So like you guys know the Sunday was crazy we had a solid 6 investigators in church and some of those
investigators just came up to us and asked us if they could get baptized.

So that is what we did! the whole week we worked hard to bless the lives of
the ward and baptize makarena! she was baptized on Saturday and then her brother will be baptized this Saturday and then they invited more nephews and nieces and uncles and aunts to be baptized... things are so fetching crazy we are going to be the biggest tools in the lords hands this week!! im so happy for how the lord has blessed us!! :) its awesome!! :)

This week my comp left.  I have a new comp named Elder Moody from Draper!! He is super cool! and we already get a long great!! I love working in the work of the Lord! We are super blessed because we are trying to be obedient and trying our best to glorify our GOD!

The zone training was spectacular! we talked about how enoch was scared
when the lord called upon him to preach to his people.  IN Moses 6:31 he
talks and says, but god, every body hates me, im just a young lad and i
cant do anything.  With his fear and his humility, he translated not only
himself but also his city! so we talked about that and our zone Got super
pumped! Our numbers got raised up this week so we did see a little
difference in the attitude and the fear of the missionaries is going away!!
My zone is the greatest ever!!! I love all those missionaries with all my
heart!!! :)  man, God is great!!

I hope I can contaminate all of bariloche with happiness that the gospel
brings me!! I love you guys!! but I do love the gospel and what God is
doing for me! Im so happy to be serving him and being a small tool in his
hand!! I love it!!

CHRIST LIVES; GOD LIVES:  Thanks to them, we can work miracles!!!

Elder Wessel

September 14

Well this week was surely nothing to special!! we worked our butts off like
always but miracles are so normal now that i dont know which one to write
you guys!! haha but family just know i have a testimony of the lord and
savior jesus christ and i know god lives.  With all my heart i will glorify
him and that is was i am doing!!

We made invitations this week so people will start coming to church.. we
ahve been struggling with that, but now since we have been trying supe hard
for that to work god blessed us! we had a less active member come, with her
daughter that isnt baptized, her grandaughter that isnt baptized and
another girl that is aless active.  They came up to us and asked if we
could baptize them! it was a miracle and an answer to our prayers.  im
super happy for that! we also had 3 other investigators in church and now,
we will start baptizing all of them in these weeks!! im super happy and
super glad to be a worthless tool in the hands of god! i know he blesses me
and i know he is using me now!! i love the zone im working with.

We are worried about the zone because they are scared.  They dont have
courage and are very timid! we called a speciall zone meeting for this
night.  We are going to talk about how to be missionaries who testify with
out fear and challenge and how to teach effectivily so we start baptizing
as a zone!! im super pumped, planning i felt the spirit testify that the
lord is pleased with this decision and we are super pumped to transmit our
excitement to the zone! please pray that we will be able to get rowdy wiht
them and they will leave edified from the meeting!

I love yo guys with all my heart!! keep up the work of salvation!! i am
trying!!

elder Wessel

Holy moly we don’t have guacamole!

Whats up family?

Things are super good! haha I’m super happy and we are busy! so things are super good! we had the opportunity to have a 70 of area come to our mission this week and it was super rad! So we had Elder Texeira come.. no dad its not Mr. Texeira from the yanks.. hah I was just as depressed as you are now! haha But he came and we learned a ton.  Usually in our mission the reason we are successful here is because we are teaching a whole lot.  He made that known to us and showed us how we could teach more and that it is more productive if we teach rather than just baptize.

We I’ve been doing I promise! we teach.. but I guess my teaching skills weren’t where they needed to be! So I was super happy to learn that! In the mission we were teaching like 5 to 7 lessons a week! after that we went and taught 10 lessons in 3 days, and set 6 baptism dates! really inspired me to become a whole lot better! Like Helaman says in chap 16 if it happened in a land far away, or in a time far away why cant it happen now? so what we did is worked hard! we are going to baptize thousands like Ammon did!! Im super excited! A little bit of what I learned is that I need to love a little bit more to the people! I need to show that really I am here to help them! SO that is my goal this week! Is learn how to love more because we need to become like christ if we want to do what he did! That is simple right?? haha

 We had some cool things happen to us! we actually were walking and my comp and I decided that we are going to talk to everyone in the street, so we did.  We saw a lady and her kid, outside of their house.  We cant enter house of women alone so we stayed outside her house.  We talked to her and she told us that she had been thinking about getting baptized that morning but has some problems to fix.  ONE of them is smoking.  So the first lesson we taught was the word of wisdom them we asked her if we could do a prayer, and we did a prayer, and then taught faith, repentance, baptism by water and by fire, yea, even the holy ghost! She accepted to be baptized and loved everything we told her! She is using the book of Mormon to stop the need of smoking! She is super prepared!! Imagine my week if that is one of the 6 people that we found! things are great!

love you guys!! keep it smooth back at home!!

love you elder Wessel
