MATERO CHE

 I BOUGHT A MATE BAG!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!

This week, twas a good one. I absolutely loved it, and I bought a mate bag, so I'll be sipping yerba when I get back, just wait!

We blew up this week. Our friends Cristina, Zamir, Antony, Jooser, and Giuliana are all progressing super well. All on track to get baptized at the end of the month, so please keep them in your prayers!!!

We got to celebrate the birthday of our friend Carmen, she's a member of the ward villa celina who referred us to Giuliana. We went and helped her make empanadas (unfortunately i'm still unskilled in the art of making the dough, so don't get your hopes up, but I'll become a master chef) 

I got to go on exchange with my good ol bud Elder Alvarenga!! Absolutely loved it! He taught me to make the master mate, and we saw some amazing miracles from the lessons we set up.

We did meet Giuliana this week, and we had a powerful lesson, I was able to share powerful experiences with her from what I've experienced throughout my mission!!

ZONE CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!! I was able to give my departing testimony, that was so strange. But it felt amazing to see how I've grown and my personal testimony has grown throughout these 2 years. I now get 2 weeks to bunker down and go full throttle!! I'm absolutely 100 percent ready to bring people to Christ! VAMOS LOS PIBES!!!

Got to see all of my friends throughout Argentina. Broke my heart, because the majority, I won't have the opportunity to see again. This is what life is, creating experiences, relationships, that will span lifetimes (pull some avatar the last airbender out on ya there) but in reality, there are people that have had such a powerful impact in my life.

This week, I was able to speak on the topic of prayer. I loved the scripture of Alma 26:22, where it says who produce good works, repent and pray continually, to them is revealed the mysteries of God. Pray continuously, meaning, as it says in Alma 34, if not given the opportunity to pray vocally, to pray within in your heart. God wants to hear you express yourself. He does not want you to hide your thoughts, or your feelings. Express your worries, doubts, for what your grateful for, your cares, your needs, he wants to hear you! Alma 7:23, tells us to express our needs. temporally and spiritually!

Ama a todas las personas y a todas las cosas

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 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...
