WE FEAR NO MEN... but toilets a little bit

Picture this, the scene opens, with the 3rd week of Argentina. You see a rubio boy balling up with the natives of Argentina. And then, going to a hecking expensive “all you can eat buffet”.  I like that, so it happened. I felt so fat and happy after that meal. Also, everyone, GO READ THE TALK THE 4TH MISSIONARY!!! IT'S AMAZING! If you're willing to surrender your will to God, you can reach your divine potential!

Also, I would just like to say, Mom, thank you for all those costco trips, because I truly know how to shop for food, for long periods of time because of that, and the costco pizza was good, so thanks for that. Memorized Matthew 5:48 in Espanol, twas a good p-day :)

Well guess what fellas, FLORENCIA WAS HOME!! She needed help filling bottles with cleaning supplies so she could sell them (it's a great depression here fellas, money is hard) so we hopped right to it. She totally opened up after that! She's super capo! Afterwards we taught Alejandro and Lucas, and both are progressing, slowly, but both definitely want to learn! I did have my first brush with death to avoid destroying my pants, but we made it fellas. And at night, my comp bought some o so delicious pastries, which I had while I memorized James 1:5 in espanol. 

Well, taught Viviana and Argentino! Both are inactive members, and the rest of their family isn't part of the church. They seem really interested, and I have hope for them. We did get a text from Julieta saying she doesn't want it anymore, so that was a rough time. We were able to get another appointment with her on friday to talk with her though!

Thursday was our zone conference. The highlight was definitely the grido ice cream sandwiches! At our casa, I read a talk called the Ricciardi letter, and it made me realize, I gotta have more confidence! It's gonna be scary, but me and my comp gotta talk to more people. WE FEAR NO MEN! Go read the 'The Ricciardi Letter' If you can! Memorized Moses 1:39 in spanish, and Matthew 5:16 in English (forgot to memorize one the day before, I know, I know, gotta step up my game)

Well fellas, we truly fear no men. We stepped up our game on friday, talking to way more people. We met a super sweet senior couple. They invited us in and let us give a blessing to Gladys, because she has back problems (Elder Garcia had to whisper the anointing of oil prayer in my ear in spanish, whoops) but still a way cool experience! Also, I have experienced a meat pizza, Argentines, instead of bread, use straight carne (meat) for their crust, it was wild. Memorized Luke 1:37 in Spanish, easy but powerful! 

I FEAR NO MEN! Only clogged toilets, it's a struggle when your toilet is broken, and you have no access to a plumber, let's just say I'm grateful for what Uncle Mike taught me on Mt. Baker ;) But did a ton of contacting, building my confidence everyday!

FLORENCIA IS COMING TO CHURCH TOMORROW! WOOOOOO, After her, and our lesson with Alejandro and Lucas (love those dudes, freaking capos) our day was contacting! One woman, Paula, told me I have the universe in my eyes and a pure soul, so that was cool! Ended the day with a grita on a bus! We got one number from it, but Hector seems like a cool dude! Finished the day with DC 24:8!

Good sunday. FLORENCIA AND LISA CAME TO CHURCH!! WOOOOOO! Good stuff. Florencia has some questions about tithing, but she's a capo! The rest of the day, my trainer was kinda lazy, but OUR TOILET WAS FIXED! Oh, what a blessing that is! Gonna work a ton next week, and memorized DC 24:8 in spanish. WE FEAR NO MEN... only toilets :)

Aman todas las personas y todas las cosas

Sorry everyone, last preparation day was interesting, so didn't have much time to do anything, lol, but life is good in Argentina ladies and gentlefolks I got to do a baptismal interview of Elizabeth leteno, from laferrere.

Se explotó la carpeta de area.  HAD INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT!!!! Haven't had that happen since I got here, so it was good to talk to him.

HOPPY PASCUAS A TODOS QUE LEEN ESTA CARTA Y LOS DEMAS!!! ESPERO QUE DISFRTUARAN SU FIN DE SEMANA CON LOS PROFETAS Y APOSTOLES!!!!! This week was definitely was an interesting one, where do I start We had interviews this week, but my companion and I didn't get them, because we had to go to Glew for a stake meeting, and the Elders before us went too long. So instead we did some roleplays of the restoration of the gospel, and then the assistants drove us to Glew, where we listened to a big ol stake meeting. We then spent the night with the Glew Elders, ELDER SOSA Y ELDER BLACKHAM!!!!  We had our first english class this week, so that was exciting. I got to teach english to all the people in my district, so that's an exciting time. Let me tell ya, I do not know how to teach english. I'll do my best. Some latinos already speak a lot and others don't know a single word, so you make due. Everyone is ready to learn though! We met our friend Juan Diaz this week. He's absolut...

We put both of them on date, and both are loving the book of mormon and got permission from their parents, MIRACLES!!!! AND BOTH OF THEM CAME TO CHURCH, YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!! We had zone conference, and it was powerful! Elder Thacker and I gave a training on being a 'Preach My Gospel' missionary. I loved it! Then President spoke all about the atonement, because that is our central doctrine. EVERYTHING revolves around the atonement, without it, we are lost in our fallen and mortal state.  WE HAD AN AWESOME LESSON WITH ERIC!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT BISHOP PATEL JOINED IN AND IT WAS POWERFUL. We talked about how sometimes, God only gives us what we need at the moment, and not everything can or wil...
