Hola everyone! Welp. This week was insane. I'm gonna try to keep it short: 


First off, had intercambios with Elder Palacin and Elder Aguilar, both from Peru. They are my favorite ever. Love them tons. We also found like 4 people combined in one morning, it was awesome!


My sister Sadie went home from her mission!🥲 Its weird being the only Milne now in Argentina but I am proud to wear the name of Christ and my family on my chest everyday!✊️

Got a free hair cut from a member and he low key messed me up🥲
That's ok though, you know what they say, hair grows back.
Shoutout to my aunt Christal and my grandma for being my favorite barbers🙌🫶

We had a Centenario thing in Argentina, and celebrated 100 years since missionary work started in Argentina! It was awesome and a cool opportunity to see the rate of God's work as it goes forth to all the world.🙌



Story time: 
Our friend Normando is progressing well but he wasn't quite ready this week and he wanted to see a baptism. So we invited him to the baptism of the hermanas in our district! That morning President Ingersoll calls during our exercises and says he needs to talk to us at the baptism. Let's just say I was a little stressed that day. We went to the baptism and it was great, and Presidente pulls me into a room and tells me I'm gonna be a ZONE LEADER in Mendoza! Let's just say I was not expecting that. It still doesn't really seem real but I'm excited for more oportunities to learn and serve. I'm also pretty nervous, but I'm learning more and more to just work hard and trust in the Lord, and then come the miracles. 🙏

A line from one of my favorite youth songs called "Reaching Out" says: 
"Give your will to him ; that's when the miracles begin"

I love that! I'm seeing more that when we give up our personal desires, fears, and pride, THEN Christ's grace can change and make us better people, as well as those around us. It's the most joyful way to live, so throw in your nets and go FEED HIS SHEEP!🐑

Make sure to give lots of hugs this week, it helps your mental health.

Love, Elder Milne 🤙

Shoot me an email! I'd love to hear from you!😁

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...
