Conference Asado!! 10/7/24

Hola family and friends, I hope you all had a great week and conference weekend. Mine was weird but as always: great!


This week I went with Elder Palacin, who just finished his training, to his area for a day, and I realized I got a lot of work to do before I end my training and potentially lead the area But hey the grind ain't stopping any time soon so don't you worry. 

Spanish is coming along well and I can understand the general bit of almost any conversation when I'm locked in (always). The mission feels normal and it feels weird that I'm hitting 3 months as a missionary tomorrow but time doesn't exist here so idk

Conference week was a banger, I watched most of it in our chapel with my headphones like an i-pad kid (my trainer made fun of me but that's ok #Iloveunderstandingthe prophets) But Sunday morning (1:00 here) I had asado with a member and it was fire let me tell ya. I ate some meat and I have no idea where it came from but frankly I don't care. Then we watched conference in Spanish and talked for a bit so that was good.


Honestly not a ton this week. I've mostly been on a spiritual grind because I realize it's so easy to let the natural man get the best of us and seek what we think we need. I've been trying to find answers for how I can become more humble and give God my will, and conference was literally just that. There were so many talks that talked about letting God prevail from what I got, and I think that's so important. Christ was perfectly obedient to God's will and I know if we follow His example and strive to follow the commandments, God will be there for us and will always answer our prayers. 
Matthew 11:29 "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls"

Love you all!🤩🫶 Have a great week!

-peace out, 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...
