What a week! We saw some crazy miracles and were just gonna get right into it ➡️

Ivan:
Ivan was reference from Facebook, and he said he has been struggling with an addiction to drugs. He wants to leave it all behind and find peace in his life. We went to go find him, and he saw us in the street and said he recognized us from our profile picture (2 gringos it's not too hard😅)
We shared 3 Nephi 11 and felt impressed to extend a baptismal date, and he accepted! Then we had a lesson with member in the chapel, and it was one of the most spiritually guided lessons I have had in my missions. He was so receptive and is a true seeker of truth. Huge miracle, and he will be getting baptized the 13th of July! 

Other highlights:
- my comp got bit by a dog 
(he's fine😅)
- went and did visits with our boy Seth, we think he might be excomunicated but un capo igual🤷‍♂️
- lots of mate🧉


I've been studying 3 Nefi, and in chapter 17, he invites them to ponder what he taught. I studied a little about pondering this week, and in almost every instant in the BOM when someone ponders on the word of God, the spirit comes after. I have the goal to slow down and ponder a little more in my studies, and invite you all to do the same!🫶

Anyways, nothing too crazy here in Cementista, have a good one! Send me an email and I'll respond to you in approximately 3-70 business days!👌

Love Elder Milne



Un capo Seth (right after my comp got bit by a dog 👀)

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...
