"A successful missionary"

Hola everybody


Hows your lives going? It's been a crazy week haha and it sounds like this week is gonna be a little bit less crazy, more on that in a second. Still in Avondale, still with the vegan comp in case yall were wondering

Did a bunch of service this week, we helped this lady make a fence, that was fun. She was super sexist haha it was so funny, the sisters would try and do something and she would be like nuh uh honey let the men do this. Haha she was crazy.

In terms of missionary work, we absolutely killed it this week. In the past 6 months we have found 2 new people, in this last week alone we found 2 haha let's go. A slight miracle to say the least. Tell yall about that in a minute. Covid missionary work is over though. We can finally go street contact and stuff it's way better than facebook.

Highlight of the week was Friday. We went on exchanges, I was in Avondale with Elder Zentner, and we just went to work. We started the day at like 7 am and didnt stop until 10 pm. We worked super hard, and in Avondale fashion we just got rejected even harder. Worse then usual though. After like 4 hours of it, we got back in the car, we said a prayer, seeking guidance and stuff. Then we got rejected even harder, til we said one more house at like 8:45, and this guy opened, his name is Reyes, and we talked for a bit and hes interested in us teaching him, so we are going back to teach him mañana!!! I was exhausted though.

So we have been getting out more, and we met Maria, who is interested in talking to us haha, idk bout the church but she is cool. Super awesome, many miracles. And I dont remember any of the many many rejections. It was awesome. But my comp just broke his ankle I think, so back to Facebook. Oh and I found the dopest chair, arguably second biggest miracle of the week haha.

Oh and the interview with the general authority went awesome. He was way cool, and he said he could pull some strings to get me transferred out of this area. Haha jk but it was awesome, and I'm kinda a big deal now. Arguably more important was a guy who kept calling the other elders, thinking they were a pizza place, and he only spoke Spanish so I had to talk to him. So funny.

I love yall, keep killing it out there. Just wanna remind yall, especially the missionaries/future missionaries out there, no matter how much adversity you face, keep going, it's worth it. Love yall, take it easy, but not too easy.

 Bug juice tastes infinitely better than I remembered it tasting, but the Book of Mormon is probably more delicious.

This picture doesnt do this cloud justice, it was a crazy thunderstorm, and it dodged us I was so sad.

 My comp is deathly terrified of horses, but me and this horse were homies 100%, gonna go chill with him sometime for sure.

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...
