Vamos Buccaneers

 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 argentina and the political and economical situation. I got to talk about the Plan of Salvation with them as well!

Then we get to Argentina, FIRST GRINGO HERE SINCE LAST MARCH BABY (with the other elders on my flight of course) I waited until the other Elders got here, and then we came to our pension, la que es RE CHETA PERO MAL (YA SOY ARGENTINO CHAVONES) 

So, currently it's me, Elder Peterson, Elder Faussett and Elder Morrill (from my group) and it's been super fun! The office Elders have helped out a ton (we aren't allowed to say that we ever left argentina, rather that we stayed here the entire time during the pandemic) 

We're teaching a lot online, through facebook and whatsapp, it's absolutely amazing! 

Well, it's been interesting here, but as I've read in King Benjamin's sermon in Mosiah, the experience here makes me think of this (stay with me). He gathered all his people, and there were so many people, messengers had to go and deliver his words to those round about. We've all been asked to gather towards Christ, which of course is the main idea of King Benjamin's sermon and literally EVERYTHING. As missionaries, we are in different places, and are asked to deliver the same message, to anyone and everyone. No matter how long it takes. I know that the gathering of Israel is happening and that Christ leads this work. Each of us has the opportunity to be on the Lord's errand, and when you're constantly on the Lord's errand, there is no wasted time! 

Ama a toda persona y 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...

Hope that caught everyone's attention, but this week was absolutely awesome!  We had some awesome lessons with our friends Tin and Ani! 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...
