Temple Dedication! 9/23/24

Yooooo what's good everybody! This week was great and also a bit weird but we thrivin here in San Juan, Argentina.


This week we had the temple dedication! It was so awesome and cool to see these people who have patiently worked and served their part in the Lord's work and are now finally recieving the blessings of a temple. AND Elder Rasband came to dedicate it and he spoke in English with a LIVE translator, which meant I got to hear it in English and Spanish! It was so powerful and I felt the spirit so strong, I may have even shed a tear or two

We had Zone Conference this week and it was super good to see my old MTC friends, meet and learn from some of the older missionaries, and feel the spirit. We sang a four part to the song "En Ti Pensamos", which is 107 in the new hymn book, it was fire and very spiritual. Also apparently in the last year the mission has absolutely exploded and 1/4 of the mission is in training so no pressure for us  (*gulp) but hey aguante la obra


I can tell you with confidence that there is no place in the entire world of more peace, power, and strength than the temple. No matter what you are going through, I invite you to think about what the temple means to you, and how you can take a step towards the covenants/blessings that you can receive through it. Also read this talk by President Nelson: 

Focus on the Temple

Sloppy Joe's and Baptism 10/1/24

Hola amigos what's good in the hood of wherever you find yourself? I'm still in Argentina and it's getting lit up in here. Literally. It's starting to get hotter and my fear of the 125 degree summer is ever present. But it's also getting 'lit' like slang wise. We had a baptism this week! Her name is Florencia, and she is 15. We worked with her almost every day this week to help her pass the interview and she did! It was super exciting and awesome to see her follow the Savior and be baptized. A member named Americo (he's super dope) baptized her. Here's a picture that we forgot to be in!! (I promise they were happy) Elder Cook also cooked Sloppy Joe's for after the baptism, and they were super good but it was hilarious because the members absolutely fien over them and it's hilarious to hear them try to say it! We've been playing fùtbol every Friday night and the locals call me "speed" in a very funny accent because of my skills (...

First Email! 7/24/24

Hola everybody! My first 2 and a half weeks as a missionary have been awesome! Being a missionary is something so different from what I am used to, but its special and I love it!  Home MTC was más o menos to say the least. It was good but it definitely made me excited to be here in the CCM (Mexico MTC) :) Being in person is so much better, I'm actually not sure how I made it through Covid. The CCM is great! I love it here, my teachers are hilarious, and my district is awesome! And the food is way better than people make it out to be. Every once in a while you'll get something like mushy corn dogs that just make me feel weird inside but I figured out the cilantro lime ranch can pretty much carry any meal, especially with some tajin lime watermelon on the side! My Spanish is coming along (or at least I thought it was). Yesterday we had to pull an audible and teach 3 15 year old teenagers from Mexico. In Spanish. Without a plan or lesson. For 15 minutes. I accidentally asked them ...

Feliz Navidad 12/26/24

Hello everyone! Holy cow it's Christmas look at that This Christmas was epic to say the least. I stayed the night with some totally rad Elders last night, got to call my family in the morning, hung out with my zone, played some card games, ate an asado, watched the Chosen and the Best 2 Years (with permission).  This past week has been crazy, I got transfered to Valle de Uco, and it's sooo pretty. The Andes Mountains are my favorite. My area is the smallest in the mission and everyone is from Bolivia. Also there are more dogs than people. So we're having tons of fun, my new comp Elder Contreras is from Chile and he's hilarious, we are laughing half the time and having tons of fun working hard. Spending Christmas as a missionary is the weirdest feeling but something so satisfying it's hard to explain. I know I'm making a sacrifice and it's sad to be away from family and friends (all of you ), but that sadness is filled with an immeasurable amount of joy in my...
