Elder Keicher in Argentina : Avocado Shake 9/10/17

Hey Fam!

Well time flew by this week. But it was a productive one. This is the
start of week 5 of the 6 week transfer and it is going to be an
exciting one. Tonight we have a FHE with a family that is reactivating
in the church. Tuesday and wednesday will be normal days and then
Thursdasy we have a multizone conference in Resistencia. Well be
taking a shuttle as a zone to resistencia earlyin the morning and then
after the conference we will stop by the only Wal Mart in the mission
to do some shopping.

But this last week we contacted in a young family of 5, the Moreira
family. 4 of them were home when we contacted them in the last
morning. The young mom and her 3 kids of 13, 9, and 5 years of age let
us in and we shared a quick message with them and left them with the
book of mormon and a time to come back this tuesday. Friday, we had a
post-baptism lesson with Lucas(23yr old) and we made a video eatting
argentine sweets. I`ll try and load thatup. but while we were there,
my brazilian companion made a Avocado shake.......... it consisted of
avocado, sugar, and milk.... it was awful. I dont know if logan had to
suffer through 2 years of avocado shakes cause i couldnt even finish
the glass i was served. Lucas was undecided about it... but lucas and
I agreed that the shake smelled like cold wet socks. It hasnt really
heated up yet, it rains a couple of times a week, but i know the
coming summer is inevitable. All the people here keep talking about
the huricans that hit texas and the earthquake in Mexico.... sounds
like it was pretty destructive.

Sunday was really cool. President Patania was in reconquista getting
to know the local district leaders and doing temple recommend
interviews for the members and so he was in our branch. His wife a 14
year old son, daniel, were with him. But I really enjoyed the talk
that Pte Patania gave. He talked about ¨coming unto christ¨. A line he
said really struck a chord with me, he said, ¨Too many latter-day
saints are active members IN church, but completely inactive members
OF the church¨. He basically made the point that many saints dont
remain active after the church doors close behind them. They go back
to their houses and during the week, they dont utter a single prayer,
read a single verse of scripture, or think about their savior only
until the enter church again the following sunday. I really loved
that. As members we need to be active members of the church, not just
in church buildings and church sponsered events, but rather in our
homes, during the week, and even when we are on vacations.
But I loveyou all. That is it from me this week in Argentina. I hope
you all have a great week.

Loves,

E´ Corbin Keicher

I forgot to mention that we went to the las colonias alfajor factor and took a tour. SUPER cool.
