WELL, This week was crazy!!!!!!!!!

Tracting
So we went tracting again on Saturday, and let me tell you, my companion was a fire!!!!!! We were in the Buenos Aires North mission for the day (don't worry nobody got robbed this time) and we were in a bit more of an urban area. My companion and I were dropped off as usual, with our sack lunches and told to be back in the same place @ 5 o'clock. So we just started walking around and talking with people. We talked to a Lady with four teeth, neither one of us could understand her because she talked really quietly and I swear everytime she opened her mouth a car drove by. But the really funny thing was that she couldn't understand my companion so she would look to me and I would have to translate Gringo spanish into less gringo spanish. That was an amazing experience.

Our second experience is on how fast prayers can be answered. We had been walking around had no luck, so we decided to pray. After our prayer we walked around a corner and saw two people talking, we approached and said hello and my companion turned to them and asked if they would like to hear a lesson and the accepted, IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!! we ended up giving them pass along cards and a pamphlet on the plan of salvation.

We had another experience about half way through our time where a member came up to us and we got some powerful words of encouragement in english and spanish (the guy wanted to practice with us). We had asked him if he wanted any help hidding his barbed wire and he said "No you are out here to help others" that hit me pretty hard, because it should me how those who are apart of our church want others to be apart of it so much that they literally want us to stop talking with them and find others.

The final story is that we finally placed a BOOK OF MORMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
We were finishing up and begining to walked back and we stopped and talked to one family and we were able to teach them and give them a Book of Mormon.
This is going to be my last email for a week and a half because next week we are sent out and miss our P-Day.
Love you all,
Elder Belnap

February 5, 2018 Man a week! This week was slow for work but we had a bunch of stuff to do. we had entrovistas  on tuesday , and man I love my mission presidente Calquin. Also we found a perfect family to teach, it was amazing. It started off as trying to find another contact, but then turned into a little message about the Book of Mormon. We came back another day and taught the whole family. The Dad needs to find faith, but man he is so close to finding it. Speaking of which if you guys have a good scripture on faith I would love to hear it. The Mom has amazing faith, when we aasked them to pray about our message she said ´´no, becasue I already know that it is true.´´ I LOVED HEARING THAT. we have beening working more with Gustavo and dudas que el tiene, es no dificil pero es un poco triste, but he is gaining more faith everyday. In funny stories I had a sonagram on my butt (really lower back) at the hospital the other day, it was really funny.  Also we have...

May 8, 2018 This week we have been working hard to try and fill the area before one of us leaves next week. Gustavo is super close to being baptized this week, we have been working super hard to try and get everything in order to help him get to this point but it is all in his hands now. Transfers will be ending in this week and I really don´t really want to leave this area. The dogs that we have in the pension have been fighting recently and it has been super wierd. My spanish is actually pretty good now, my companion said that I talk in spanish when I sleep now.  Mission life has actually been pretty good here, I have learned a lot about faith and most of all perservierance. In this mission it takes 560 contacts, for 80 investigators for 24 of them to go to church, for 5 of them to become members. For us it has been a great motivator for us to give it all we got in  the mission.  I realy love this mission and quite honestly I don´t really want to change areas or ...
