Somewhere in Argentina

This week was one of the coldest of my mission I am getting better at futsal! and we helped a family build their second story so im learning how to do constuction here in Argentina haha On tuesday I was on splits with Elder Benites and that man is a stud. Hes just starting his mission but I learned so much from him. On Sunday we had a ward confernece and I played piano for the Choir which was crazy because I cant read music but it just so happend that they were singing one of the two songs I know from memory! Church went well and it was was sick because we had the confirmations for the 3 BAPTISMS that we had!! We have been so blessed these past few weeks, and the people we are teaching are so so cool. Let me tell you about the Familia Angelo! I wasnt there when the missionaries found them, but I know our Father in heaven was behind it all. Elder Ruiz said that the day they knocked on their door that he was tired of contacting because nobody wanted to listen. It had been a long day alre...

¿Como Estan!!? This week was a great one with so many wonderful experiences. I love my area (Palermo) and every day we are treated with amazing views of the mountains and sunsets! Its honestly breathtaking, and sometimes we teach people in this part where you can see all of Salta in the distance so thats pretty cool. Also everyday is leg day with all the hills we have in our area. Luckily our bikes have gears because if not I would die. We had a conference on Tuesday with half of the mission, and it was un dia de mas animo! We learned about having the faith to go through our trials and to trust in God that our trials are to help us grow. WE also played a ton of soccer and volleyball, and other random games. It was a ton of fun, and next week I should have pictures! my dad told me to take advantage of this time to learn of Christ and to follow him, because after my mission my life will be filled with other things that will call my attention. I started focusing my stud...

This week was so great. Im more TIRED than ever, but things are honestly going so well. I love my new area, its in Salta Capital, and we are on a hill that overlooks the valley! If the TEMPLE were finished, wed be able to see it from our area! We are like 30 minutes from the mission offices so we see President more often and Salta is such a cool place. Being a Zone leader is such a great opportunity to serve other missionaries (we have 21 missionaries in our Zone) but I feel like Im in my training again haha with all the things Im learning. ELDER RUIZ is so much fun and we are working well together! we had 10 people come to church and they all have a desire to be baptized! He's also taught me a lot about teaching the way the savior taught, and we've been seeing so many blessings here in Palermo. We've been playing a lot of soccer to find new people to teach and I bought some sweeet new shoes ahaha but really, soccer is working well to find people who are prepared for the ...

This week was a pretty cold one, and im absolutely loving it here in Famailla! We had a baptism and have seen the Lords hand in so many ways. I interviewed the sweetest 86 year old man for his baptism, and felt the love he had for his savior and the love Jesus Christ has for him! it was a great experience. It was also raining a ton one morning, and I said a half hearted prayer that it would stop, not thinking much of it after that. I looked out the window and IT HAD STOPPED! It hit me that God truly does hear our prayers, no matter if its for something small. And just imagine the power of prayer when we truly pray with faith, believing that we will recieve, and how much our Father in Heaven really wants to bless us! ONE YEAR AGO I was feeling pretty nervous but also super excited, I had left for the MTC in mexico, lost my flight, lost my bags, put my faith in God and recieved a testimony through my trials, and ONE YEAR LATER im still putting my faith in God and seeing his hand in my li...

Hello! On monday i got a package from my family, and I love my family so flippin much! They sent me SPAM, and for those of you who dont know what that is, its only the MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIANT in a SPAM MUSUBI. They sent some seeweed too so you know were gonna be making some musubis this week haha (pic below) This week we also had to move apartments which was kinda fun, and now we have a balcony overlooking our sweet town of Famailla! This week I went to do a baptism interview for the Hermanas in Monteros, and on the way back Elder Booze looked at me and said, "you wanna contact this bus?" and I was like heck ya lets send it. Im not gonna lie I was a little nervous but we just stood up in front of everybody and introduced ourselves as Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ and that we share a message of happiness and we handed out pamphlets to almost everybody. It was a great oppurtunity to get our message out there and let them know what were all about....
