Dedicación del Templo de Córdoba!

¡Hola familia y amigos!

This week was super! Why? Because yesterday the second House of the Lord in Argentina was dedicated in Córdoba. Now with two operating temples, the wonderful Argentine saints can more easily receive ordinances of salvation that are necessary for them and for their families already passed away. The dedication was transmitted to chapels in all of Argentina (and maybe other parts of SudAmerica?), so we got to watch it with the members here. There was a special spirit while watching the dedication. President Uchtdorf and Elder Christofferson came to dedicate the temple. Elder Christofferson served as a missionary here long ago, so he speaks Spanish very well. it was cool to listen to him. President Uchtdorf tried, and it reminded me of myself 9 months ago in the MTC. But their talks were really awesome. Pres. Uchtdorf made mention of the Sol de Mayo (May Sun) that is centered in the flag of Argentina, which shines brightly for all Argentinos. Then he counceled us to make the Temple our Sol de Mayo. I really liked that imagery, and it´s true. Temples and Jesus Christ, whose house they are, are what bring light and life to us. Without them we would not exist nor could we gain salvation.

Well, that´s all for this week. Les amo a todos! I hope you have a great week.

Con amor,

Elder Blake

3. Toilet in the chapel. Gotta love SudAmerica where toilet seats seem "optional" after they break off

4. Elder Kelley with a recent convert, Matías. Matías has reserves of energy, and sometimes he´s a little annoying, but he´s such a great person and I love him.
