Dungeons and Dragons 10/21/24

Whats up party people!!! This week was not super eventful but it was a good one!


The last two p-days we have placed dungeons and dragons because my comp is into it so that's been pretty fun because I've never played before. I'm a ninja monk elf that speaks Spanish



This week we've had to stop teaching a couple of our friends that haven't been progressing, so that was sad. But we had a crazy miracle:
A recent converts son that used to be taught randomly reached out to hermano Zanni, who is an ex mission president (he's cracked), and they talked about the Gospel. His name is Gabriel, and he said he wanted to learn more about the church and maybe get baptized. So we scheduled a lesson and met with him, and he was so prepared, be already had a testimony of the Book of Mormon, and he kept asking the most perfect questions, like: "I've been worried about what's gonna happen after this life?". We were like, "we don't have enough time today but trust me, we have something just for you"😄😏. We is going to pray about his baptism so pray for him because he is a miracle!!!

Well we are already half way through the transfer and I've been here for about 2 months so I basically know everything about being a missionary and speaking Spanish (he's lying🤥), but seriously, I've grown so much and can feel the Lord's hand in every part of this work. 🙌

I've been thinking a lot about really leaving everything behind at home and giving myself to the Lord, but specifically my heart. As I've prayed and continued working harder and focusing my efforts on my love for the Lord and the people, not only have I seen growth but I have also found joy! I testify that when we give our will to God and let Him prevail in our lives, we can find true joy, not as the world giveth, but as our Father in Heaven gives who knows us perfectly. 

Matthew 10:39
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Sorry for the long email, thanks for tuning in until now. Love you all and pray for you. Send me an email, I read them and love them and try to respond as quick as I can😁. Que tengan una mansa semana!!

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...
