Pain and Protein 2/17/25

This week was full of pain and protein; let me explain:


Pain:
 - lots of grinding in the daily workouts
 - no girlfriend on valentines day
 - we have like 5 people we are teaching right now because everyone hates us here

Protein: 
 - lots of protein

That's about it for this week, stay tuned for the next one

Just kidding, although it was pretty hilarious on valentines day as me and my comp ate tres leche and told funny dating stories and made jokes about how lonely we are. We almost made a map of our love lives but ran out of time. 
Next time.

Speaking of my comp, shout-out to Elder Beckstead, he's single, benches 300, squats 455, and his heart is even bigger than his
quads. He's going to SUU in 1.5 years so let me know if anyone's interested. 


Speaking of the work, it's been a rough week, we spend all of our time in the same neighborhood because that's basically our area, and all the members just tell us nobody wants to listen to us when we ask for references. But on the bright side, our friends Gonzalo y Luna are progressing very well, and Gonzalo came to church on Sunday so we are looking forward to their baptism coming up soon. Pray for them please so they can get baptized thank you all!🙏


Jacob 2:8 describes the word of God as "the word which healeth the wounded soul." I love that because I think any page of the scriptures has something that can uplift us, heal us, and strengthen us in whatever situation. So read the Book of Mormon! It has the answers to life's questions, and helps us come to know Christ personally! He is the one who heals us, but we have to let him by coming unto Him! 

Thanks for reading, love you all and appreciate your examples and support for me! Send me and email!

Shout-out to Elder Owen Larson and keep it shaka🤙

Sloppy Joe's and Baptism 10/1/24

Image
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...
