Watermelon 2/24/25

Whats up everyone, I hope everyone likes watermelon because we have a LOT. The one member gives a giant one like everytime we pass by and we cant resist. Also, me and my comp were talking about how watermelon is super overhyped and it's actually just a mid fruit. We have been making jokes about it a bunch and saying, "WATERMELON!? I DIDNT KNOW WE HAD WATERMELON LOVE WATERMELON!".

It's a pretty good time. Let me know what you think about watermelon in the comment section. 


Shout out to Derek Spencer, he followed me on Facebook. Love you man.🫶

A funny moment this week was I was helping an hermana carry stuff to her store, and there was this drunk guy just laid out on the ground with a beer in his hand. It was at that moment I knew for sure my life here is real.

This week was great! We found a lot more people and had some good progress. Here's some highlights of some of our friends:

Gonzalo y Luna: they are progressing well for their baptism. Gonzalo drinks coffee 3 times a day (yikes) but he committed to keep the word of wisdom and he's going strong so pray for him please🙏 

Normando: This guy is super chill. The first time we met him we put him on date for baptism but then he just randomly went to Rio Negro (another part of Argentina). The hermanas there kept teaching him and then he just came back so we're working hard with him this week to help him get baptized!😁

Other than that I'm doing great! The time is flying and I'm enjoying helping others live the Gospel every day! 


I learned alot about covenants and Christ's enabling power this week. I love this comparison to a yoke:

Matthew 11:28-30 - "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 
Take my yoke upon you...
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Covenants don't save us from the trials of this life, but they link us to the one person who knows how to help us during them: our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ! Trust in His will for you and where he is taking you, and you will see miracles in the person you will become! 

Love you guys a ton! Have a great week and make someone smile this week!

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...
