Baptism 12/9/24

Hey everyone! We're todo piola here in the Argentine land


Sorry I didn't send an email last week, I played fútbol literally the whole day and now my nose is peeling and my legs hurt for the first half of the week

Last week we had thanksgiving and it was the most normal day of my mission probably. Had some pretty good food though with the Zanni fam. Calling my family was a blast as well, lots of chaos and catching up


This week Gabriel got baptized!! Elder Hughes, my comp, has a phrase "baptism week" where every week of a baptism the work is harder and there's lots of opposition, and it's real alright. We had so many lessons canceled and walking in the hot sun this week but we pushed through and saw lots of miracles! 

I got to baptize Gabriel and it was a super cool experience. The spirit was so strong and I felt so grateful being a part of his conversion and change in his life. He stopped drinking coffee this week and even rejected alcohol from his friends! The best was seeing his mom, who's a recent convert, tear up in joy seeing her son get baptized. She said she thought it would never happen but it did and her dreams came true. God is a God of miracles!🙌


Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I love this scripture because it's so simple: If we put God first in our lives, the rest will work out. In the moments I realize I'm worrying or getting down, I realize I'm not trusting in the plan He has for me. When we are humble and accept that Christ is the only way, and then live His gospel he's given us, He WILL bless us, and we will find joy and peace in this life and the next! 

Love you all tons, stay chill🫰

-Elder Milne

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...
