This week on mission quad drama

What's happening everybody?


I made it out to Texas (finally) and let's just say that this place is pretty crazy. I am in a super poor area called "Avondale". Nah I'm just playin it's actually insane how rich everybody is out here, it doesn't even make sense how consistently huge every house is out here. The members of the church out here are all great people and they really do their best to try and feed us. We really are well taken care of.

Unfortunately as I am in an extremely rich area, the work is extremely slow. We have a new member that we can teach lessons to, and that's about it. We teach lessons to some people from Columbia and South America, but there hasn't been much fruit so far. Covid makes it nigh impossible to find new investigators unfortunately, facebook proselyting is kind of a joke, we set up a video introducing ourselves to our areas facebook group and didn't get a single like on it lol.

I am living in probably one of the sickest apartments in the whole mission right now. We have a pool table, foosball, shuffleboard, a Starbucks machine, a pool, a full gym, and a cinema room. That's just the start as well I could go on forever. I live in a quad with another companionship and they are all the best honestly. My companion, elder thurgood is kinda a wee bit contentious though.

Let's just say that God wasted no time in testing my patience with my companion lol. I love him no matter how annoying he can be lol. So Elder John is the district leader, and he's in the other companionship. He's 20 months out and has differing views fromThurgood, nbd right? False Thurgood always finds a way to turn it into a full blown argument and then tries to play victim. I had to talk him out of writing a letter the president tryna get us moved or transferred. There is a lot of contention within everyone in the apt, but I'm homies with all of them and tryna hold it all together in lol.

We have had a bunch of service opportunities this week, thank goodness because we kinda have nothing else to do. Nothing to get over home sickness like some good old fashioned back breaking labor. Lemme just say that the texas clay out here is just about as tough as rock. Seriously the hardest digging I've ever had to do. I am seriously enjoying it out here though and am already making lots of friends and getting tons of gains out here. 

Favorite story from the week was when we had dinner with the Poist's, first off the food was amazing and their house was crazy. But all of their kids were kinda shy and not talking until they asked me about pokemon, and then you couldn't get them to stop talking about it lol. My comp probably hated it, because he was talking w the adults, but I seriously enjoyed discussing pokemon with a bunch of elementary school kids for an hour hahaha I need to grow up. The Poists are the best, Sister Poist is always trying to feed us even when no one signs up.

Not a whole ton of interesting stories from out here this week, but I would love to hear from y'all. Please don't bring up the Broncos game though. I love yall and make sure you go and have a good week

 Went into a poorer area the other day

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...

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...
