Una Semana Extremadamente Loco! (Crazy week)

What's up everybody?

It has indeedly been a week out here in Avondale haha. I dont even know where to start. I hope yall have a merry christmas, it dont really feel like christmas when its 70 degrees but that's alright. Our apartment is extremely festive, we have like 4 christmas trees including a 7.5 foot one haha, and we haven't even spent a dime on it.

At the beginning of the week we found out our trio was gonna be staying together, so I was pretty upset, and Elder Morris was extremely upset, he didn't really talk at all for two days straight haha it was miserable. Those were probably the most difficult days of my mission so far. Twas not pretty. Besides that, nothing really exciting happened so far.

Wednesday we had transfers, and even though I lost all of my biggest homies in the zone, it still turned out pretty good. I think there is a lot of cool people coming in so it should be fun I hope.

That night we got a call from president, after transfers had happened, and Elder Thurgood was getting emergency transferred the next day. Biggest blessing honestly, we really were not getting along too well.

Thursday we sent him off, and not a whole lot happened there, Friday was just a normal day, just me and Morris doing our thing you know. We went carolling that night, and it went super well. Passed out some pass along cards to some people, super fun. Then everyone started screaming and I was like huh? So I turned around and there was a couple making out and I was like huh? Turns out that a couple got engaged to our singing of "Angel's we have heard on high" haha! that was a little surprising to say the least. 

Saturday we got to demolition basically the entire interior of a building. That was super fun, but one of the most physically painful services we've done so far. My hands were all messed up and bloody after that, and there was about 6 pounds of drywall dust stuck in my eyes haha. We had dinner with the Bitner family, and that was awesome. This family is related to the Judkins, as in Gabe Judkins for you Farmington peeps, so that was a really cool connection. Their son is on a mission, and teaches a spanish class, and I just so happened to watch his spanish class a couple of days before and so there was that connection too. Apparently their spanish class was super successful, and I'm the spanish class specialist in our zone, so he hooked me up with a 34 page guide to setting it up. Cant wait.

Sunday we had a super good lesson with Emanuel and he said that he wants his kids to be missionaries like us someday, real tear jerker. He's super solid and doing well. Our ward mission leader called us into a room and we had a meeting, supposedly some ward members made some complaints against Elder thurgood and so we think that's why he got transferred out. Yikes.

As you can tell, I'm doing great this week. Every week is a struggle, but you just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other that's all. I hope all yall have a great week and an even merrier christmas!

Love yourz
Elder Larson

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...
