Ano Nuevo Dec 31, 2019

Today we got together a zone and make some choripan  (sausage with
bread) and played some volleyball and soccer! It was a lot of fun, and
it's crazy to think that another year has already passed.
In Argentina they sure like their fireworks, and they make sure
everyone and their dog knows it too. At midnight tonight the clear
skies will turn into a battlefield for about 10 minutes, and that's
always fun to watch.

This week was a lot more chill than the last, but we still ended up
traveling quite a bit! We went up to JUJUY yesterday to help the
missionaries there and it was a lot of fun, and we took the scenic
route so there's some pictures from our trip below.

This week we saw a miracle with the baptism of Elizabeth and her
daughter! If you remember from my other emails, she's someone I was
teaching with Elder Perkins, but then she moved away to mitre and we
weren't able to teach her. But right around that time, I got moved to
Mitre, and we were able to keep teaching her with Elder Garcia! She
was baptized yesterday, and I'm so grateful to have been able to see
her change as she came closer to Christ.

This week Ive realized the blessing it is to have the Book of Mormon
in my life. I cherish the Bible and the words it has of my Savior and
his teachings. But it is only through reading the Book of Mormon that
I've come to truly understand the atonement and the magnitude of
Christ's sacrifice for me. We should let the words of the savior take
life by reading the New Testament, and we should let the Atonement of
Jesus Christ shine through The Book of Mormon. Both records were
written by prophets of old, and testify of Christ, and I know they are
true.

It has been 1 full year in Argentina. I thank God daily for the
experiences he has given me and for the opportunities I have to grow.

The Holy Ghost Nov 25, 2019

So a lot happened this week but more than anything, my testimony of the power of the Holy ghost was strengthened. We have been teaching this lady named Elizebeth. Well she came to church this Sunday and she offered to say the last prayer in her class and started to cry. Elder pekins and I saw it from a distance and he gave me a fat hug haha we were so happy for her. She felt the spirit in that moment and later shared with us how she received an answer that the Book of Mormon is true. After a lesson with her she asked, "so when can we put a date for my baptism?" We were amazed! That's normally something we invite the people to do, but I guess the spirit beat us to it. And that's how it should be I guess, because conversion comes through the Holy Ghost. Also shout out to my companion for always being intune with the spirit. One night we were looking for a family, couldn't find them, and so we asked people if they knew anyone we could visit that needed a mes

Already Two Weeks!

Que Pasa Calabazas! I cant believe its been two weeks here. Ever since the first day time has flown by! The language was coming so quickly and I learned so much in the first week, I just need to make sure that I keep learning and dont get stagnant. Also things have gotten into a rythm here so its jsut been a blur!  On thursday, it was our last lesson with daniela and it went really well. I feel like we followed the spirit and were able to answer her questions about baptism! Friday We prepared for our next people we are teaching, Ignasio and Salma! we also did a service project during gym time and that was awsome!  Saturday, We had our first lesson with ignasio and we learned alot! we kinda overwhelmed him with info when we should have realized that he had a limited knowledge of God. It was still great though and we testified of what we knew to be true. Sunday was great and we learned a lot about aligning our will with the will of God. Also Our district leader was appoint

Jesucristo Basta- April 22, 2019

This week was amazing. We are working pretty hard in an area that's pretty hard, but in my 3 months here I've seen a change and I know the Lord has big plans for his children here in Embarcacion. Some Experiences from this week. As we were walking in the street we heard a huge rumbling in the distance, and we couldn't figure out what it was. It sounded like a crowd cheering or something like that.  After a little bit we realized that it was RAIN! And it was coming FAST. The streets turned to mud in seconds and we began running from literal wall of rain. WE got soaked but ran to a nearby house of someone we are teaching! Another day we were walking and a little girl in front of us was with her family. She turned around and asked us about the people that hurt Jesus. We had never talked to them before, but she seemed to recognize us as servants of the Lord, and we began talking to her and her family about Christ, and our message, and we set up another appointme
