I took an MRI in Argentina

Que onda che? How have yall been doing? We keep moving forward out here in Independencia! Que onda is my favorite phrase in all of Spanish haha, its like "whats your vibe?" You could say "tenés una buena onda" or "you have a good vibe" or if you are feeling grateful, in your prayers, you could throw in "gracias por la buena onda" thanks for the good vibe. Add that to the spanish vocab, very useful word.


Big news tho, Carlos and Claudia are going to be getting married soon, they got the first set of papers done, hallelujah! I have never made it this far before with a wedding baptism haha, whoever invented the system to get married in Argentina should get shot in the foot, most difficult process ever. Fabiana and the kids also threw a surprise party for Elder Houston, it was way fun. I love that family haha.

I was supposed to go get an MRI scan for my wrist on Thursday, but the lady that does them did not show up for work. They are so lazy out here I swear. So we got the MRI on Saturday instead, and we are gonna get the results back on Thursday, a full 3 weeks after I fell on my bikel. I miss the American medical system. For the moment I just have a brace and I am taking some presciption pain meds. Very fun.

We had the funniest lesson in my whole mission this week. We are teaching a 17 year old, Bruno, who is a real chango haha. Former drug dealer and he has a kid. Obviously we were worried a little bit about the commandments lesson hahaha. So we hit him with Law of chastity, Tithing, and The word of wisdom in one lesson. It was so funny. The guy just about had a heart attack. His comments/perspective on it are not quite appropriate to put in this letter, but it was so funny hahaha. At the end he was like "lo acepto. Lo acepto." He was pretty shaken up, but he is determined to get baptized next Thursday, on Houstons last day!

Thats basically it tho, really for the most part a pretty normal week. Nothing scary, nothing crazy, a whole lot of good vibes. We still dont know who my new comp is, which is crazy, I swear they be so lazy over there in the office. Anyways, have a good week 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...
