Un Vaquero Verdadero (A true cowboy)

Whats up yall? How goes it? Hope everything has been going good! We had a really good week, mostly just been out here grinding haha! Couple highlights:


We did some exchanges in Joaquin V Gonzalez again, it went really well! The only downside is that I choked an absolute game of chess, I was mounting the fattest comeback, then I sacrificed my queen for no reason and lost, not my brightest moment. Fun exchanges tho! Taught some really good lessons, my guy San Martin is a little bit new but give him 6 months and he will be a zl for real!

One of our friends, Alumine, came to church twice, she told us she didnt wanna join any church until she was 21, shes 15 now, and just yesterday told us she wanted to get baptized haha! Crazy miracle! I always said during the mish, it doesnt matter the circumstances, if somebody reads the BoM and prays about it, and goes to church they will get baptized. It holds true to this day!

Our mission president told us he was gonna visit our ward on Sunday, but he gave us the heads up on Saturday night, we had no time to prepare! All of our friends pulled through tho, and we had 8 friends come to church! Which was crazy cuz it was the day after 9 de julio, which is like the Argentinian 4th of July! It was awesome!

We had a pretty good opportunity to go visit a cool railroad track with some members today for p day, and then they cooked us up some asados! Way sick! God is just stacking up the blessings here at the end so I will have good memories about the mission haha, and it is working. The nostalgia is real!

The grind doesnt stop out here! Looking forward to seeing all yall soon! Take it easy! Have a good one!

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...
