 Well everyone, not a ton of time today, got to get to work in 10 minutes so I'll try and make it short and sweet. This week was a good ol time!! We learned that next week (so tomorrow) I get to start giving english classes at 9 am to the district, woooooooooooo We now have an 1.5 block that we have to work in the bandeja de entrada, so that's a good time Everyone says Argentina is going to close back up so everyone pray that it doesn't, I will die, PLEASE DON'T CLOSE AGAIN!!! Had some sweet experiences, promised someone that if they read the book of mormon and prayed to know if it was true her migraines would stop, guess what, the next day she had no pain (we are literal representatives of Jesus Christ ladies and gentlemen)  Jenny IS AWESOME!! She said they day we told her about the word of wisdom she dropped smoking, has so much support from the ward, AND GOT BAPTIZED ON THE 27TH, MY BDAY!!!! LET'S GO JENNY!!!  Had a JAS family home evening and they sang happy bir...

Well everyone, here we are, another week of the mission.  This last week was super fun! We had a competition in our zone of who could break their record of finding the most people, so I may be buying some people ice cream today, Haha! I went on exchanges with ELDER BLACKHAM!! THE ONE AND ONLY ELDER BLACKHAM!!! Twas a good ol time, to catch up on everything that has happened. To refresh all of your memories, we arrived in Argentina together, were in the same ccm district and shared a ward in pontevedra. We had someone randomly show up at the church, that I had found on the street about a week earlier, so that was exciting, and they set a date with YOANA!! VAMOS GLEW!!! We met the amazing family of Laura, Liliana and Marcelo! They are absolutely awesome!!! I got to teach Florencia again, the girl I was teaching in my training!! She's amazing and really wants to know God's plan for her!! So she's going to be amazing! Then the assistants came into the area, and I was with Elder...

Well everyone, it's me again. I would like to formally apologize to everyone because I'm very bad at writing emails, I will put that out there.  This week was a good ol time!! I got my new companion Elder Gallardon and we worked como locos!! Twas a good ol time! We got to listen to Soledad and Maria talk for a long time, I got the head nods, it was bad  We are now in charge of both numancia and guernica, so we've had fun getting lost (it's a good excuse to talk to people in the street) and don't worry, I didn't get robbed Our friend Daniel in the Numancia ward GOT BAPTIZED, what a good ol chap. The ward was super excited!! Had some sweet experiences this week. One, we were leaving the chapel, and a thought came into my head that we were going to meet someone in the street on the way home that needs to learn about the plan of salvation (it's 9:15, so we were ready to go) and we leave the chapel and we started talking to a guy on the corner whose brother had p...

Well everyone, I'm back!! Last Monday, we got good ol robbed. What's Argentina sin los chorros, no se preocupen, estoy feliz, vivo y trabajando!  We had a good ol week, we were told that there was a possibility that we had been exposed to Covid so Wednesday and Thursday we were inside. Our mission president said we were good to go because neither of us were showing symptoms. We had our conferncia de zonas this week, and a lot of it was about faith. How our possibility, our ability to achieve more, as a mission and individually is only limited by our faith. So we have set the goal for 71 baptisms within the month of march. Hey Floridians, miracle march ;). We had a ton of success inside this week, I actually got to call all the people who had been referred that hadn't been contacted in A LONG TIME JOAQUIN GOT BAPTIZED THIS SUNDAY!!! IT HAPPENED!! AND HE WANTED BISHOP TO BAPTIZE HIM, HYPEEEEE!! Has been a good ol time with Joaquin. It's going to be harder to stay in conta...
