This week was awesome! Ariel, our investigator was baptized!!!!! He is ADORABLE. His dad is a member and was working with his mom. She loves us, but the church is "boring".

Christmas was awesome. I Loved seeing and talking to you all! Sounds like your Christmas was awesome too. Can you believe 2012 is ending? This last year was the best of my life. I’m a little sad to see it go!

Remember when we were in the part that says campo"field" on the map looking for someone when we saw the snake? Well that someone was the mom of Ariel. We found out that she didn’t have a lot of interest, but Ariel did! And he was baptized yesterday.

Well we have been focusing on asking for referrals from everyone and after asking and contacting, asking and contacting a few times from the family of Ariel we found a lady named Marlen (from Peru of course ha-ha). She told us that she was attending our church weekly for a while and then one day had to move back to Peru for a family emergency. So she left Argentina 3 years ago. Then she said "and I wanted to go back to church but I don’t know where it is". We said, "when did you get back from Peru?” she said "yesterday". She left Argentina attending, and came back for 1 day and we found her again!! Such a little miracle!

Also this week we had a lot of appointments so we did divisions with members and my companion went to contact the family of a girl who we talked to when we were waiting for the bus one day. She walked up to the house and there were two ladies standing in front that stared at her for a good 15 seconds with weird looks on their faces. So she introduced her self and before she could finish one of the ladies said, "We know who you are. In this VERY second I was saying that I wanted to return to the church, I am a member." She was baptized in Mexico about 15 years ago moved here and lost contact with the church, for 10 YEARS!!!! Its so crazy how the Lord works. Little Christmas miracles!!

Well that’s about all. Check out my awesome tan lines from the picture I sent. WE GOT BIKES THIS WEEK!!! I am sure there will be lots of future stories. My district leader said they had 6 people on 2 bikes the other day. 2 elders, 2 members 2 investigators....I don’t know how. Well see what happens this coming week with our bikes! I love you all HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!!

Besitos, Hermana Marchant
