Sweat and scorpions

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 transfer news today, Elder Campos is going to be going to Chile on the 25th of January, actually kinda sad to see him go! But this week I am going to be picking up another child haha, I am going to train a gringo, fresh out of the MTC, I am really looking forward to get to practice my Castellano more, he is probably just barely gonna be able to give his testimony at the end of the lessons. I am stoked, my favorite part about training is getting to play little jokes on the kid, cuz they dont know what to expect from the mission haha. Hit me up if you need any jokes to play on your greenies! That does also mean that I will probably be in Concepción for another 3 months, and for those of you who are counting (like my mom), that doesn´t leave us with much time left in the mission yikes.

Met some new friends this week, a scorpion was chilling under my study desk the other day, just about got my bare foot, but he wasn't quite sneaky enough haha. That was hype, we captured him and he is currently in a jar in our pantry, with the other friend we met this week. Found a tarantula just outside of the door of our apartment, so we did as every Elder would do, and captured him and put him in the pantry haha. Man the bugs out here are kinda scary not gonna lie.

But we are doing just dandy! The mental health is doing better than most. (Tiger Woods reference for you golf fans out there). We got bikes this week, that was hype, biking is fun, but Tucuman is famous because nobody knows how to drive out here, so it is also mildly terrifying. I love it though. This really is the Lord's work, and I have seen his hand in every moment of it this week! So sorry that my emails are always so long! But if you care enough to listen, that was about my week! Love yall!
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...
