Primera Semana

What's up everybody!


It has been such a crazy week here in the MTC. Haha just kidding I stare at a computer for 8 hours everyday. I barely ever get to leave my house, so that's kinda exciting. For real though I have learned more in the last week than I probably ever have in my life. It started out pretty chill, because I already knew everything from previous Spanish classes. That didn't last long, as we covered pretty much everything I learned in two years of Spanish in two 3 hour lessons. It's been a struggle ever since honestly but it is most definitely worth it.

There is honestly no other way to describe my district other than a bunch of lads and lasses. My companion Elder Jones and I are literally the exact same person, except he is from Draper so his mom drives one of those Porsche SUVs. To be honest you could think of that as the greatest blessing, but also, we can never study anything because we get along so well. Love all my district and my teachers but let's just say that Elder Stuart is on my last nerve rn. Maybe you will hear more about him next week lol we will see.

To be honest my favorite part about the MTC currently is how literally nothing except for Spanish matters at all. I guess the Gospel matters too, but seriously, Spanish is everything atm. Like if you just got Dear Johned, no big deal because if you don't know that countryside is campo in Spanish, then the next two years of your life are going to suck. I do love the Spanish language, but it is getting exhausting to learn two pages of vocab words everyday, and I haven't even gotten to the intermediate core yet, which will be hundreds of words a day.

Anyways it has felt like a lifetime since I was set apart last Wednesday. To be honest the only thing that I am missing right now is first, the movie Surf's Up, and then I also miss regular music. I can only listen to my brother's Gospel soundcloud music so many more times. I guess I still have movie soundtracks and BYU Vocal Point going my way.

Oh, and I got reassigned to Texas Fort Worth to leave on October 20th, so I will be sitting around at home doing nothing for another two weeks after I finish the MTC.

Till next time,

Elder Larson

(Sorry I don't have pictures, turns out sitting in front of a computer isn't that exciting)

You know I am getting tired of writing up these weeklies haha, but you know i havent missed a weekly in 2 years so imma stick with it haha. Hope yall have been thriving back home and in your missions! Been a good week. The most exciting thing was seeing all of our hard work over the past couple months fall into place, we were able to put 4 baptismal dates for this week, they are pretty solid as well! We need your prayers for Alumine, Jose, Veronica, and Maximo, so that everything goes good for their baps this week!! I am very grateful for all the trials and bumps along the way, it definitely hasnt been easy this week, it wont be easy till I finish the mission, but I have learned to love to work hard. Even when I dont see the results that I want, I love laying down at the end of a long day and saying I did everything that I could have. I love something Pres. Palmieri said yesterday, we dont measure missionary success by the number of baptisms, but by the number of people we invite to co...

Whats up everybodyy? How yall been? Hope yall had a peachy keen week! Its been a good week here in Independencia, just kinda vibing haha, working hard, enjoying my time in Argentina! We've been walking around all week, its been a vibe, probably walked like 30 kilometros haha. It was good, we saw a bunch of success, found some solid people.  Had some exchanges with the boys in San Ignacio, that was fun. My boy elder Lewis was dying haha, so we had to go save him from his comp. Had some fun lessons, I ran the joke that I was from Chile the whole time and got away with it. My spanish is evolving to a whole other level. Had the baptism of Carlos this week! It was such a sweet experience! He is a capo, so glad I got to meet him and his fam. Literally no one showed up to the baptism, but that happens haha. The water was freezing cold bro, winter sucks here. I'm happy to be here. Very sad that everything is gonna be coming to a wrap here in a few weeks. As hard as it was, I have learn...

Sup yall? How have yall been doin? Hope that all is going well wherever yall be at! Been a good week, just been vibing out here, working really hard, being obedient and stuff yall already know. Did some exchanges with the boys in Joaquin V Gonzalez, which is a 5 hour bus ride. Muito bom. It was sick, its a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. such sick vibes. It was so chill out there. Thats where you go to catch the Golden Dorado for all yall fishermen out there. Good exchanges tho, really had me remeniscing on my time in Concepcion, I miss those small town vibes. We also had a talent show activity, and we dressed up as vaqueros(argentinian cowboys) and sang "Adios Amor" which is a sad mariache song, it was so sick Ive been vibing a lot with the poncho recently, cuz its been cold. I really rock with the poncho mate mix, way hype. I have been loving the vibes up here recently. Its been tough with our friends they all are really uncommitted to do anything, but you know it happe...
