Fuaaaaa

Whats up yall? How have yall been doin? It has felt like an eternity since that last email haha, all good tho. We did get to go up for the mission conference with Elder Bednar, that was pretty neat. Overall a pretty good week, I would say like 6 or 7 out of ten.


The trip to Salta: way hype. Salta is super pretty, also super rich haha. Woke up at like 5 to go travel up there, it was a pretty fat commute up there. The conference itself was way hype.

Susan Bednar and Elder Bednar are a pretty funny combo haha! I could bore yall with the 5000 spiritual insights that I took away from those 3 hours, but it sufficeth me to say that it was incredible. His style of teaching was very impressive. It was amazing how the spoken word was vaguely directed at all of us, but what I learned was stunningly individual. It was very impressive to me, he really only spoke, but the Spirit taught every single person in that room something different.

Elder Gooch moment: I am very grateful for my comp hes such a goober haha! Elder Bednar: yall know why the time passed so fast in this meeting? Elder Gooch: because we were having fun. Elder Bednar: because us as mortals are uncomfortable in time. Haha he went on to explain some complex doctrine, it was pretty funny. What a guy.

So after that we stayed in Salta for 3 days to do some papers for my visa. Picture like my first week out here just chilling in the office forever with not much to do. I almost got to eat Mcdonalds, im so sad haha. The way back was a journey as well.

We literally just got harrassed by a bus driver that wasnt a fan of Americans. He ended up kicking us off in San Miguel, even tho our ticket was to Concepcion. I was pretty upset, but I kept my calm and bribed him 500 pesos to let us stay on the bus. But he said no. Bro you could get away with selling drugs if you bribed a cop 500 pesos. But this bus driver turned it down bro. I was pissed. So anyways we waited another half hour for the next bus to come through, and paid 500 pesos to go back to Concepción. Completely unnecessary waste of 30 minutes of our day. We ended up getting back pretty late at night, exhausted, and very frustrated haha.

This is already long haha, the missionary work was good this week, we only had 3 work days but we found 7 people, and had 6 friends at church so that was hype! Hope yall have a good week!!

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...
