Of cowboys and catholics

Haha whats up yall? How are we doing this week? This week was kinda crazy kinda interesting kinda depressing haha. Im still just tryna convince myself i dont have depression haha. (Thats a joke by the way haha, I don't have depression). Stuff just keep moving along out here in Concepcion.


It was a super good week for filtering out who is interested in our area book. I wish i could show you our area book, so you could see that probably 98% of our contacts and lessons fell through this week. That really sucked not going to lie. 

On the bright side though our comp inventory yesterday was super productive. I proposed that he puts in headphones when he listens to the youth album(i dont like the youth album that much haha). And in return he told me he hates the smell of breakfast in the mornings, so we compromised and I no longer can eat breakfast in the mornings. I cannot make this stuff up yall hahahaha what is my life. 

Honestly though it was a pretty good week. Our friend Yanina is on track to get baptised this Saturday! Yall she is so hype! We have been working a ton with the members, and been getting a bunch of referrals from them, we will see how it goes from there. I need all yall to pray for her this week tho! Ja-nee-na Ibarra is how you pronounce her name.

So Concepcion is super Catholic. December 8th is a super big holiday in Catholicism. People marched from all around the providence to Concepcion, and they had a giant catholic party in the plaza. Not even kidding like 20000 people. Not a mask in sight bro it was crazy! Im still not sure why but there was a ton of gauchos there too all dressed up like a traditional gaucho. Gauchos are like Argentinian cowboys btw. It was wild. They also had people walking around the streets drumming all night long, we did not sleep much. Catholics smh.

Life goes on tho! I love yall and miss yall a ton! Stay safe!

Love yourz.

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...
