Estamos Remando en Dulce de Leche

Whats up yall?? How has life been treating ya? Hope that yall are doing well! Stuff has been going super good out here with Elder Gooch, the Spanish is a bit of a struggle haha, but we are killing it honestly.


In reference to the title thats my new favorite saying in Castellano. It means "we are rowing in dulce de leche" or caramel. Which is obviously super thick. So its gonna be a struggle haha. Its like saying "we are kinda struggling". But at the same time you found a lake of dulce de leche. Count your blessings.

oh Concepcion flooded this week too. We were working with the facebook pages in the church all Saturday, the Relief Society president showed up to the church at like 8 o clock, said that it was drizzling outside, we were like huh? Because we were inside working all day. Then a couple of minutes later it was a torrential downpour haha. The RS president is terrified of storms, so we sang Master the tempest is raging with her, good old Hna Bravo. All the taxis were hiding their cars from the storm, so we had to walk home. In a downpour. We waded the 30 minute walk home, it was crazy. Didnt have a jacket, umbrella, or anything like that. Got home and there was a fat puddle under my desk, there is always a leak when it rains in our apartment. Thats tuff. It was crazy tho. Kinda hype.

Besides that stuffs been going good. Apparently two white fellas is super funny to the argentinians, they are always hazing us in the streets haha. Im just waiting to get robbed, its only a matter of time haha.

Our friend Ricardo came to church yesterday! Way hype. Even tho it was in Monteros, and there have been way prettier sacrament meetings, he still loved it. He told us he wants to go back next week, even tho we wont be there, and that he has a strong testimony of the book of mormon. Super excited with the progress he is making. It is incredible to see that even tho it might not have been the prettiest sunday in the church, even though there was 16 people, the spirit still testifies to the hearts of our friends that this church is true. Pure truth. In my very short time as a missionary, I have built up a lot of faith in the power of the spirit in the conversion of our friends. When our friends, read, pray, and go to church, the spirit has always, and will forever testify of the truthfulness of the Restored Gospel. 

Sorry this email is a little bit long, hope yall are having a good week! Dont forget to pray eh?

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...

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...
