BANANA BOATS MAKE ME HAPPY

 Como onda a todos! Los amo y espero que estén teniendo la mejor mes de enero! 

We had a super fun week! Lots of miracles and las historias locas! 

-We met our friend Graciela! She's searching for a lot of change in her life and wants to meet all the time! And see speaks spanish, so we clicked real fast (I love latinos, so much) 

-MLC was this week! That's always a powerful experience! All the district leaders got to come and it was over zoom, but President and the Assistants ran it super well! We counciled a lot about the mission and we came up with IN THE FTM WE BAPTIZE DAILY (365 baptisms for the year) 

-We met Ani and Tin! Both are sophomores and they both want to come closer to Christ! It's absolutely amazing! 

-The Elders from our apartment got their car towed, so we had to drive down to south tampa and look for them.

-We called a pastor because he condemned someone for reading the book of mormon. That, was a long conversation

-WE WENT TO AN NA MEETING WITH MARK!! It was a powerful experience, to see when these people were humbled by circumstance, realizing the effects of their actions on people

-The Mahanas are having us teach their 7 year old son all the missionary lessons and they all made fun of me because I had never had a banana boat before, and those, are flipping good!! 

-We're giving a training this week in zone conference, that'll be a party 

I was studying from 2 nephi 25 this week, and when nephi states, "my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people, that they may learn" touched me. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a simple gospel, with simple doctrine, that is made to be understood by everyone! That does not mean we won't face challenges while we follow, but that the way is put out in such a way, that it can be understood and applied directly to your heart. The way is Jesus Christ and he has asked us to keep his commandments because he loved us first, so we must love him! If we truly focus on the simple and small things, it'll create a miraculous conversion that doesn't come from sporadic and grand events! I know this Gospel is real and true. I know Jesus Christ lives and that he will never abandon you!

Ama a toda persona y a toda cosa

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. That was humbling and powerful, to see the hope that the gospel has brought to her life, and I got to go to her baptism and help the Lafe Elderes!  We had a good ol tormenta blanca en nuestro area. 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...
