The Midget of Cordon 1/6/25

Once upon a time, Elder Milne (Meal - eh) got transfered to a mystical place called Cordon del Plata. This place is not like the rest of Argentina. Why? Because there's midgets️

Just joshing, it's because everyone is from Bolivia, all the grandma's hate us, and there are more dogs than people. 
But there actually is a midget. A girl we pass by all the time gives us updates on "el duende (midget) que tiene", and how is shushes her in the night. I asked my comp if he knew what the heck she was talking about and he just said no and went along with it. So I guess you just don't ask questions about the midget.
THE END

Anyways, it's been a crazy couple of weeks but I've had some great holidays here! 

For New Years Eve we had a dinner with this super cracked family in our ward, the only one that feeds us actually.
But it was a great time, I ate this little piggy, yes the one that went to the market. Sorry



Pov: something is a little sus around here


But asides the jokes the work is going pretty great here. We're seeing lots of miracles, and it's a really special area. We've got a few friends on date and were working hard to help them make covenants with God. I'm starting to really love the work and consecration myself even more. I've learned more and more that being a good missionary is really just giving yourself to the Lord. It's His work and I feel very privileged to be able to be a part of it. In these next 5 weeks your gonna see a little more of heaven here in Cordon del Plata!😤 

I love that Come Follow Me had the Restoration this week, and I love sharing the message of the Restoration. It's so cool to me that the first principle of the Restoration is that God loves us, and we are His children. I encourage you all as you study Doctrine and Covenants to seek Christ and find God's love for you in your life. He's there and He hasn't abandoned you, He wants the best for you. 

Love you all and thanks for all you do! Go have a great week and start the New Year strong💪

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...
