I love you all, I promise, but when a comp goes home, he does anything but write and call his family

 (I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYONE) Well everyone, I did it, I survived a full week back in Argentina. Twas a good ol time, twas a good ol handy dandy time.  -We had a JAS (YSA) activity. That was super fun, and there's quite a few JAS in the 2 wards that come to this building -I got to meet a lot of the recent converts here in the ward! All of them are awesome and they absolutely adore the missionaries!!  -We set our friend Humber on date (turns out he lives in my first area, LONGCHAMPS!! so we passed him off to them)  -Wednesday morning we were told that we had liderazgo (MLC) that night, so that was interesting. Definitely a switch from Florida knowing 3 weeks ahead of time.  -I met a sweet Haitian family that I contacted in the street. They were awesome, and I wish I had picked up more French from the Patricks in South Tampa -We met our friend Esteban that reached out to the page! He wants his wife to be baptized and he's not opposed to being baptized agai...

Well everyone, I have very little time to write, we were having a goodbye party for my companion Elder Vivanco, so sorry that I responded to literally 0 people today:(. Hope everyone is doing super well! This week was awesome and man I was rusty with my spanish. We were in quarantine until Saturday.  -Friday I helped Hma Chacon with a presentation to 2 zones about facebook and how to utilize correctly (everyone says I'm going to be an ETR)  -Friday night we had a huge asado with Presidente Fernandez and Hma Fernandez! They are so much fun, and he only cooks his meat SUPER well done (so for those who don't like well done steak, don't come to Argentina, they think everything else is alive) -Saturday I got picked up by Elder Valdebenito and Elder Vivanco. We had 2 baptisms that day with Ermilimda and Thiago. They were so awesome and Thiago is the sweetest kid! We finished the night with another asado of some recent converts that, and we're going to start teaching their fri...

 Week everyone, let me tell ya, this was a week for the books. I don't even know, so I'll get started First off, LET'S GO TAMPA, BUCS FOR THE WIN!!  We had transfers and Elder Thacker se fue a Fort Meyers. I got to hang out with the 2 new ZLs until I took off. And we were super busy both days. WE HAD LUNCH WITH ERIC!!!! I GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIM!! Then President and Sister Hollingsworth invited me to the departing missionary dinner (I felt a little out of place, not going to lie) Said goodbye to the Hollingsworth, that was heartbreaking :(.  I spent a whole lot of time packing. It was straight madness. Getting to the airport, first we had troubles getting to Miami from Tampa, because only residents could enter (little did they know, hehehe) then in Miami, the people said they weren't going to let us on the plane, but we had the right documents (be prepared, let's go!!)  We got on the plane, met some awesome people on the plane ride down! They told me all about arg...

This was a way fun week!  Went to the zoo last week!! So that's a partay and a half!  This week we had service every morning pretty much!  Our friend Tin did a fast with us, and it strengthened his testimony so much, but his parents got anti material and said no :(. So he wasn't baptized this Saturday, but we got his email and no matter what happens, we'll keep him going until he's 18.  We cleaned up Sis Denison's yard again! She's so funny, what a sweet old lady! We helped weed the Chase's yard (the mahanas bought us Tampa bay Buccaneers pullovers) and they were super sweet! Then bought a giant wawa soda!!! Yeeeehaaaawww!!  We went to to the food pantry! Last time I'll be there :( (Explained later)  We had a social media exchange and we just did online proselytizing for 30 minutes. I am not good at it at all!  We had dinner with the Mahanas! THEY COOKED US BANANA BARS!! AND LOADED NACHOS!!! THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY SO AMAZING!! IT MADE ME SO HAPPY!!! ...
