So we started working with a different family of my comps that lives a little futher away and they are so awesome we already are super tight with them and have began to teach them and they said they want to come to church sunday woot woot!!!!!
other news i had asado here 4 times it was a ridiculous amount of meat honestly and i have gone up in weight by at least 5 pounds but it was so freaking goood.
Big story: so me and my comp were finishing up work saturday night walking home on the side of what is the argentine equilavent of a freeway but less busy and no guard rails. as we were walking in the dark we passed a family of 5 walking in the same direction as me and my comp kept walking we heard the heart wrenching sounds of squeaking breaks and then something hit a car and we heard a woman scream me and my comp looked at eachother and sprinted as fast as we could and i dont think ive ever run faster in my life. as we got to the family we found a little boy laying limp in the middle of the street next to a car with a dent in front. the family was histerical and we didnt really know what to do but my comp picked up the little sister age 4 and i slowly picked up the boy and brought him to the side of the road and put him in my lap and this point i was panicking a lot but i asked the mom if i could give him a blessing and she said yes. i was very scared to give a blessing to the little boy knowing that the family wanted me to save his life. so i gave him a blessing saying that the lord will watch over him in that moment and that if it was the lords will to take him back that the family could be strong during this hard moment. Afterwords the only think i could think to do was start cpr thanks to scouts i knew how but it was so scary honestly then finally the ambulance arrived and they continued cpr for 20 more minutes then rushed him to the hospital. me my comp the little sister and older brother age12 ran following the ambulance to the hospital. we got to the hospital and waiting for a couple hours trying to help comfort the family and then the doctors said that he had passed away. He was 5 years old. It was super hard for me to see the family break down after and hear the older brother scream i want to hug my brother one more time. I thought about my own family and how hard it would be to lose one of them. We were able to share a little bit about the plan god has for him and his family and that one day they will be together again. Then today was the funeral and we went to give support.
sorry for kinda a sad story but we are so lucky that god really has a plan for all of us and that the sting of death can be lifted through our savior jesus christ and his redeeming atonement.
love all you guys and i love this work with all my heart we are all here to help one another and be tools in gods hands to help other.
