so this week me and my comp decided to try and organize an activity for the youth because there are tons of inactive youth and its been forever since they had any kind of activity. so we put together volleyball and it was a crazy success we had like 40 people there and normally in church there is only 20 people so it was pretty awesome and youth here are super fun so we are gonna try to do something like that every week now.
funny story so we were walking up this huge hill in my area and there was an old man picking weeds from the sidewalk and so i asked if we could help him then he looked at me and said where are you from. i said north america haha and he said ah **** so why you here huh all you want is war right? haha because people here in argentina think the united states just looks for war at any time possible. i said no im here sharing a message about christ and if he wanted to we could share it with him. he hesitated then said well you will probably just cause war here in argentina but if you talk about christ im willing to give you a chance. we have an apointment with him tomorrow.
so i was studying the talk given by takashi wada this past conference and i really love this talk especially a story he shares about how his mother was converted to the church by a little boy giving her a hymn book in church. i love this story because it proves the scripture through small things big things will come to pass. takashi wada is a member of the quorum of the seventy and he had tried to help his mother join the church for years but when she saw the good things this little boy learned in his christ centered home she was moved to join the church. as members of this church we have the obligation and opportunity to emulate christ at all times we never know who is watching and what effect our actions can have on those who are not of our faith.
love you guys have a great week all the love in the world - elder singley
