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, thank goodness, but I really just follow him around and try my best to understand. Spanish is so hard, and I really want to get it, but I know it will take time. My comp let me do the baptism, which was nice of him. I will put pictures of it down below. It has been really hard, I am not going to lie, but I keep pressing forward because I know it will get better.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
My comp shared with me this scripture that was really good. I don't remember what it was, something in D&C, but it talked about how everyone deserves this gospel in their own tongue, which I thought was really cool. Everyone needs to hear the good word of the gospel. LOVE EVERYONE AND MISS YOU GUYS!!

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...

Feliz Natividad!

CHRISTMAS!!!!! Hola!!! ¿Todo bien? This Christmas was definitely different, to say the least. Here they celebrate it really on the 24th. They stay up till midnight and then light fireworks when it turns the 25th, kinda like New Year's. We went to a recent convert's house named Jorge (he is the only one that wanted us). His house was fun; we talked (my comp) and then ate an asado. There were cockroaches everywhere in this house. During the night, one was crawling under my chair, and I freaked out. Then the cat and the dog came fighting for it. (The cat won.) When I was there, it was interesting to see how happy everyone was. There was no tree, no presents— all they had was dinner for Christmas. Yet they were happier than when Easton and Canon got their Xbox 360, happier than me when I got my hoverboard. All we really need in our life is Christ. If we focus on Him, we can be happier. When we follow Him, even though it's hard, we can be happier. Merry Christmas!!!

ONE MONTH DOWN

JOIN MY GOOGLE PHOTOS https://photos.app.goo.gl/DdsvpZz8Td1Aehdw9 This week was pretty boring, not going to lie. It was just the same thing every day. I just started week five, so that is crazy to me. One of the days, while playing ultimate frisbee, I ran into Elder Dains so bad that we both went flying, so that was pretty funny. Spanish is still really hard, but all I can do is try my best and pray. Overall, a good week. Another temple run—that is good. I have two weeks left here, and then I’m off. I am really excited and ready for it. We keep trying to get our teacher to bring us food from the outside world that we see so little of. He said that he would bring churros on the last day. That would be a miracle. Nothing crazy this week. Sorry for the boring email; I will try better next week.
