Life

I finally got some pics, so I will be able to share some things about the people. 1. This is my boy Julio (he's jacked), we're dawgs even though I can't talk to him or understand him. Usually, I just try to ask him if he has worked out today. He's so funny though. Also, he has the best "Yes" I have heard here in Villa. Also, his dad is a former "Drug Lord"??? But we went into his dad's house to try to get them married so they could get baptized, but it smelled like weed, so we just had a quick lesson. 2. Forgot his name, but he's pretty cool. 3. This is Gabriella?? I think, really weird name if you ask me. But he was a former futbol pro and played in Cordoba. Then he went here to play semi-pro, but he had a stroke from smoking his whole life (I really can't understand one thing he says). But he is baptized, so don't worry. 4. This is Jorge and his son, they are on date to be baptized. I can't understand what he says at all, but he...

Dogs

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. This week was, ngl, one of the longest weeks of my life. We went to zone conference this week, and that was really fun to see some of my CCM friends. Every day, we visit the members in this area, and tbh, I really don't know if we are supposed to or if we aren't. My comp keeps saying this is how we find people, but we haven't found anyone new since I have gotten here. When I got here, the house was so gross, and when I walked in, he said this is the cleanest it has ever been. There were gnats everywhere, and the guy before me told my comp, "Don't worry, they don't bite." There are dogs, like, literally everywhere. I knew when I got called to a South American country that there would be dogs, but not this many. The dead dogs are the hardest to see. But when there is a dog fight, like 10 come out of the dust and start cheering on who they want to win. Sadly, I can't have Google Photos anymore. Spanish still ...

First Week In Argentina

Wow, it has been a minute since I have emailed. I think it has been like three weeks, but I will update everything super quick. The last two weeks in the CCM were okay. It was fun talking to everyone and getting closer with my house, but everything was cool. I really miss it though. I flew from Mexico to Buenos Aires on a 9-hour flight and went to a hotel for like two hours and then flew to Cordoba. So, it was like 26 hours of travel, so everyone was super tired. We had a whole day to sleep and recoup a little and get to know the mission and the mission presidents. The next day, we woke up and did some stuff, and then we got our trainers. I got Elder Miller. He is super cool. He’s just out of training, but he is so, so good at Spanish and knows the area really well. I am in Villa del Rosario. The area is kinda poor, and the people are really nice. I am the 6th missionary here, which is crazy. We don't have a real ward yet. We had a baptism too! It was crazy. I have an English comp,...
