chronicles of the ghetto

What's up yall? Hope yall have been doing well. My week was really kind of insane haha, you might wanna read this one. If not, I understand. Let's just jump right in I guess.


So we started off with a crazy miracle. We have a list of people from the relief society who we were knocking, and its basically the opposite of a gold mine. Zero success there. But on the way to one of the doors, a lady opened her door right before we walked by, and we started talking, and I was bold as heck and I was like yo could we share a message that could change your life, she was like yeah. Keep in mind this was a really scary neighborhood.

So we hopped in there, taught her the Restoration, apparently a member had given her a book of mormon a long time ago, she was totally prepared. She seemed super genuine. It was awesome, lesson went really well. She told us that the door we were going to knock was a pretty dangerous situation, won't go into the details but basically this person we taught kind of saved us. And we found a new person! It was awesome. Not a coincidence.

We had a semi exchange, my comp went to Denton so I was a trio with the other companionship in the apartment. It was sick. We taught a bible study to a lady named Terry, and the whole time I was feeling super prompted to switch to the Restoration. Then she looked at me and was like yo, what are you feeling impressed to teach me. Which was totally out of the blue and not at all what we were talking about, so I was like uhhh Restoration. It was crazy. Unfortunately she was not ready to accept another book besides the Bible, but I still felt confirmation that what I did was right. That was literally top 5 most spiritual experiences of my whole mission tho.

We started doing some proselyting, that was a complete waste of time haha. Speaking of waste of time, my comp spent about 50 hours on Facebook, and watched the entire Suns vs Lakers game yesterday. That has proven to be a trial. But I've still been seeing miracles, even today on P day while I was grabbing groceries, our neighbor asked me for a book of mormon! I could go on for hours about the miracles we saw this week.

I don't wanna waste too much of yalls time, just know that I love yall even more than I love dipping oreos in milk! Que tengan un buen semana!

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...
