New Year

¡Hola! ¿Cómo anda? I don't know when my last email was, but I will try to keep it short.

Christmas was definitely a little different. On the 24th, we just ate an asado, then fireworks when it hit 12.

Spanish is rough, not gonna lie. Sometimes I feel that I can really understand people, and then I talk to someone else, and I can't at all. But that's alright—I just need to have faith.

New comp: his name is Elder Moss. He's super nice, he's from Highland, and he has 15 months on the mission. He's also 21, but he is really patient with my Spanish and really good at teaching. Got a pic for everyone—don't worry.

Sorry for the essay. These past couple of weeks were so hard but so fun. I want to speak Spanish so badly and share the great gift I have been given, but I just need to be patient.

Whenever I get sad, discouraged, frustrated, homesick, or lonely, I think of our Savior Jesus Christ. I think that He went through what I am experiencing in that moment—that loneliness, homesickness, discouragement, everything.

He did so much for us. I think this is the first time in my life when all I can do is rely on Him. I can't call my mom and talk to her or go to my room and listen to music. All I can do is say a prayer and rely on Him, and I have never in my life felt the Spirit so much. His love for us is so much more than I can comprehend. We have the greatest gift ever—we have the gospel to eternal life, and I can't believe I am the one that gets the privilege to share it.

Love you all!

New years was just like Christmas, Eat stay up till 12 and then go home. Also got to play UNO 🃏 that was fun. But the best part was the food, we had Mata hambre (Kill Hunger) it was sooo good.
Got to do an exchange with my boy Elder Hales from the CCM, we worked hard and had fun talking to everyone.

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.
