Elder Larson ~ Texas to Argentina

Whats up everybody?? How are yall doing? I hope that everything is going super well! We survived another week out here, man I didnt think we would make it but we did. It was another tough one for sure.. Soo as you could probably expect, I started to get covid symptoms right after Elder Campos was getting over it. So we got the pleasure of having to quarantine 3 separate times basically, haha. why we didnt just all get it at once i have no idea. Fortunately we are officially out of quarantine now! The weather was beautiful this week. Super cold, rainy, all good there! But, there was a leak in our roof, and a decent portion of my stuff is now ruined. Thats awesome! And our laundry machine broke too¡ We did not have good luck with us this week. Life goes on tho! The missionary work has been goin good! We had 6 friends at church yesterday, which almost doubled the attendance of the branch haha. So hype tho! We got to baptize Sasha too! Not gonna lie we had the most genius plan to finally g...

Whats up everybody? How are yall doing? I have managed to survive another week out here haha! Honestly its been a tough one, but you know what the mission was never supposed to be easy anyways.  Well in case yall were wondering, yes we have covid rn. No Elder Campos did not go to Chile. Elder Gooch got covid at some point during his travels here, so there was literally nothing we could do about that :(. Im just upset that the three of us are quarantined in a tiny apartment because of a scratch in someones throat smh. I still havent gotten any symptoms tho, so im chilling. Elder Campos got covid tested and everything, it came back negative, but they have the symptoms, so i guess we gotta quarantine. Im only mildly upset about that one haha, whatever. Everybody has covid rn though anyways. So thats tough. Our teaching pool is running dry, we delayed the baptisms this week for the next one, because of covid. To be completely honest with you, it was just a below average week haha. I wa...

Whats up yall?? How are ya doin? The grind continúes out here! We have been grinding out here! As much as one can with all this covid running around. Stuff is going good out here, it feels like the movie Groundhogs day a lot of the time, buts all good! If any of yall wanted to take a trip to Tucuman in the summer, I would not advise it, the forecast every day this week was the exact same. 108° and sunny. And humid. We did a good bit of our traveling this week at 2 in the afternoon, there wasnt a soul in the streets. It was so hot. Our new companion actually made it out here, because of covid we werent sure that they were gonna be able to make it out. But he did, his name is Elder Gooch, yall he literally speaks zero Spanish haha. Like none. He was in the field for a year and didnt study spanish once haha. We were teaching a lesson to the lady we baptized on Saturday, yesterday after she'd been baptized, and i told him to invite her to be baptized on the 5th so he read off the bapti...

Whats up yall!¿? How have yall been doing? Stuff has miraculously continued to keep on floating on out here in the sometimes beautiful Tucuman! Its been a good week, filled with success as far as the missionary work goes, and we have received a bit of news for transfers and stuff so thats always good. Also got a little bit familiar with the wildlife out here, and lets just say that if you ever visit Tucuman, it is best just to ignore the bugs haha! Super good week, stuff is still going good with our friend Florencia, she is ready to get baptized this Saturday! She has her interview tomorrow, it should be hype, she already passed the pre interview and everything, so that is hype. We were able to baptize Silvina last week, that was super hype, I am very excited for her and her family! We also have a ton of our friends progressing and coming to church as well, it is such a blessing! If all go as planned we will be in the baptismal font a decent amount in the coming weeks! We got some ...

Whats up yall? How have you been doing? How was your holiday season? Not to flex but that was my last one on the mission haha les go! Ours was pretty good honestly, kind of a crazy week haha. In reference to the title. I am out here breaking hearts already haha! Theres this guy who lives across the street from us, we are teaching his mom, but he is gay. And with all the parties that went down this week, he obviously got super hopped up on drugs and alcohol, and confessed that I was the love of his life and all that. Im just sitting there like get me out of here right. So we did, we got up and left, but the next day we were teaching his mom and he came back. Same thing. Elder Larson is the love of my life blah bla blah. Anyways, theres a mildly crazy gay dude, who we found out also always carries a knife with him, who lives across the street from us. And he wants me. Yikes Lol besides that we went up to Salta this week haha, that was hype! Got to see the boys for the first time in a bit...
