Well everyone, I GET ANOTHER WEEK IN THE MISSION FIELD!! HYPPPEEEEEE!! I was suppose to be heading home on the 3rd, but the flight was cancelled and I now will be home on the 9th, if it doesn't get cancelled, but we will see!! It's been a crazy 2 weeks since I last wrote, I seriously don't know what to write!!! But I got to go visit some of my areas, and friends from those areas! In Longchamps and in Guernica! It was so much fun to reconnect and see everyone!!! We left Guernica pretty late, but we were blessed with an Uber close!!!  This week, it was the week of miracles in the la zona la matanza!!! We weren't able to reach our goal of 20 baptisms, but we reached 19!!  So today our assistants came and helped us out with an Asado!!!

Our friends Cristina, Zamir, Antony, Jooser, and Giuliana are all progressing super well. All on track to get baptized at the end of the month, so please keep them in your prayers!!! We got to celebrate the birthday of our friend Carmen, she's a member of the ward villa celina who referred us to Giuliana. We went and helped her make empanadas (unfortunately i'm still unskilled in the art of making the dough, so don't get your hopes up, but I'll become a master chef)  I got to go on exchange with my good ol bud Elder Alvarenga!! Absolutely loved it! He taught me to make the master mate, and we saw some amazing miracles from the lessons we set up. We did meet Giuliana this week, and we had a powerful lesson, I was able to share powerful experiences with her from what I've...

  well everyone, so that you know, I drank hot chocolate every single day this week, so that's a plus!! This week twas a good one. We let go a lot of friends that we were teaching, they will be prepared to receive  We received a 3rd ward, so there's an excessive amount of work to do, but we're striving to find those who are truly prepared to receive the Gospel in this moment Then we had a mega exchange within the zone. To better help the other district find. I got to leave my district and go visit the famous, PONTEVEDRAAA!!! It amazed me that the spirit allowed me to remember the area perfectly, to find those who need the Gospel at this time. Had a reunion with Noelia, someone that I was teaching in Pontevedra before the Pandemic! It was absolutely awesome!! President came and gave us burger king, not going to lie, I didn't think I would ever like burger king, but that was absolutely amazing. Elder Alvarado and I bought facturas en la mañana para comer al estudiar. Had ...

Well everyone, what a time!! This week, we're trying to clean up our area, but we finally got to enter the villa, villa of our area. It wasn't as dangerous as everyone said it was, lol Highlights of the week: -Had an intercambio with Elder Guanilo, almost went in the most dangerous villa in our mission (don't worry, we didn't go in) -Saw Eugenia, a recent convert of one my companions that loves me, I got to see her, it was so awesome! -WENT BACK TO GUERNICA!!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! We took a remis and got to the train in Lomas de Zamora and then ended up in Guernica. Was super fun, and we had to get up at 3 am to fill up the font, and what tends to happen on exchanges is you end up talking for a while. So, we ended up not sleeping until 3 am, then we went to the church and got everything ready, and Andres got baptized at 8 am!!!! -We had an asado with the llanos rodriguez family, and they gave me a magnet and a river mug, I absolutely love Guernica, then we took an ...
