Wednesday, November 23, 2017 WELL, This week was crazy!!!!!!!!! Tracting So we went tracting again on Saturday, and let me tell you, my companion was a fire!!!!!! We were in the Buenos Aires North mission for the day (don't worry nobody got robbed this time) and we were in a bit more of an urban area. My companion and I were dropped off as usual, with our sack lunches and told to be back in the same place @ 5 o'clock . So we just started walking around and talking with people. We talked to a Lady with four teeth, neither one of us could understand her because she talked really quietly and I swear everytime she opened her mouth a car drove by. But the really funny thing was that she couldn't understand my companion so she would look to me and I would have to translate Gringo spanish into less gringo spanish. That was an amazing experience. Our second experience is on how fast prayers can be answered. We had been walking around had no luck, so we decided t...

November 16, 2017 1/24 of the way there! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have one more week before I offically enter into the actual field!!!!!!! Lessons have been going great! each day I am able to speak more spanish and it is life changing!! We have commited two "investigators" to baptisim and and we are starting to go through all of the lessons with them. Speaking by the power of the spirit is real, and it is amazing. I can offically bear my testimmony right on the spot when teaching. i love hear from everyone that has written me, it is amazing to hear from all of you and what life is like back in the United States. The new batch of elders are awesome! They take care of themselves and are always willing to lend a helping hand. My district has finally hit it's groove. I can hold basic conversations with native speakers which feels amazing, and my teachers are pretty freaking awesome! I heard that there ...
Thursday, November 9, 2017 FAST CARS, TRANSFERS AND PEOPLE GETTING ROBBED! What a week!!!!! Tracting was crazy!!! we were dropped off in the Buenos Aires South mission in some crazy Suburb and told, "Be back here in 5 hours ." and drove off. My companioin and I were then standign there wondering what to do next. After walking around for about a half an hour we talked to one person who seemed interested in the church and gave him a pass along card.... that was it for the next four and a half hours. Every person that we talked to would either look at us funny or say that they don't have time to hear our message. So that was pretty awful, but we talked to the one person that wanted to hear from us that day. It was kind of crushing to have a message that we wanted to share but get rejected at every level. But even then I still love being hear and it gives me a reason to get even better with my language. Elders got robbed!!!!!!! In the same missi...
November 2, 2017 Life here repeats A LOT!!!!!!! WE finally left the CCM to go into the city of Buenos Aires ! It was a rutine thing so that we could pick up our visas, and we all got to go on a bus and drive to the Buenos Aires North Missionl. On the way we passed the south mission and it looks amazing!!!! I saw two devotionals this past week and in both I hav seen Jackson Burton as well as a couple of other friends in the videos and it has made me really happy! I had an entire conversation just using spanish this past week!!! during dinner I sat with a lot of the spanish Elders and Hermanas and I was able to hold a decent conversation which was amazing. This Saturday I go out and teach real people on the street and I can't wait for that!!!! Not a lot happens here that is super amazing right now but becasue the CCM is so small we all get to know each other really well. My Spanish teachers are amazing and I can't for the next day to start so that I can lear...
