La verdad que...

Whats up yall? How have you been doing? This was honestly such a good week! A very stressful week but a good one haha! It was honestly full of surprises too, had me on my toes for sure.


We met this family, the dad is from Lebanon, idk how he ended up in Argentina but he did. They were so rich yall. Their door was like a tiny cave entrance, but it opened up into this giant house haha. They dont have a ton of interest in the gospel, but we chatted with them for a bit. They brought up that we shouldnt be able to drink Coca Cola if we cant drink coffee at approximately 6:35, and we had to get to our baptism that was 15 minutes away by 7. A miracle that we made it honestly haha!

The baptism of Agustina was way hype! It was kinda funny cuz I'm an idiot hahah, but it happens sometimes haha. After she came up out of the water, I thought she had a good footing so I let go, and I guess she didn’t, so she went back down!  What matters is that she got baptized, and now has the gift of the Holy Ghost! Shes awesome, pretty funny tbh. She tried to hug Elder Campos yesterday hahaha, but he had to be like wooah slow down im a missionary haha.

Which brings me to my next point. Elder Campos got transferred up to Salta out of the blue. So we said bye to all the members and stuff, kinda sad. It was good to look back on all the success we have had in our 3 months together! We really killed it! Hoping for the best for Elder Campos!

We went and visited our other branch, Monteros for the first time in a while, that was fun. Theres this crazy group of people, I believe they are from Romania, if thats a country idk. But they were like picture what a pirate woman would where, they wear those dresses. Super old, super beat up and stuff. You could tell that this lady had been chewing cocaine leaves haha, she tried to rob us but we didnt fall for her trap haha. Apparently in their culture, the men dont learn to read or write, they only learn business. They spend everything on their business. The women go out and try and rob and beg for money so that they can feed the family, even though they have a decent income. And they chew cocaine. Haha little cultural thing for yall. Monteros has a lot of those people, I forgot what their name is, my bad.

But yeah, its just me and Elder Gooch grinding out here. Really just me grinding, hes still tryin to figure out the Spanish haha. We had like 60 people show up to church again, I am super stoked to see the branch popping off like it is! Hard work pays off.

But yeah its been a good week. A crazy week to be honest. Stuff is going good out here in Concepción! Love yall, have a good one!

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...
