Happy Birthday Mom

Hey mom! I was going to give you a birthday gift but i can't because I'm in Argentina. But instead here's this letter. 

Mom you are the best mother I could have asked for. You always taught me what was the most important. You always helped me get to church and young men's even when I didn't want to. You also always support me in what I do. Biking, skiing, school, knee surgeries. And I am eternally grateful. My very very short time on my mission has made realize how blessed I am with a good mother. And not just with temporary possessions. But things that people need to be good people. How to work hard, love people, wake up early, how to handle hard situations with people. And so so much more. I love you mom. And am so grateful for you. 


Hope you had a good birthday! 
- elder Maxfield

Alright I'm basically in the middle of nowhere. So these emails are gonna be a little longer, hopefully funnier, maybe not completely politically correct. - I'm headed out to estanislao de campo. In formosa. It just about smack down in the middle of nowhere. - Took a 3 hour bus, then a 4 hour bus, and we got here like 11 at night. - and well this place is just smack dab in the middle of nowhere. - There are a lot of rumors about a lot of people here. Especially the branch president, i'll keep you informed.   - but so far nothing too crazy - but he did say the relief society was super necessary because whenever there is anything "hay que cocinar", well that's just not true  - accepted water from a members house, big mistake i paid for it that night - acquired protein powder hehe - ran out of money and comps very tight with his so ill be eating milk and protein powder for the next week or two - this place is wild. There are a ton of members, but no one goes to c...

Focus on priorities

  - jorge and his family are dope - we had the eternal families and law of chastity discussion and wow it didn't go terribly wrong - we played d & d and ate oreos and milk and went to bed quite late. I never thought i would have so much fun  - had división and no one expected us - but we had a member chat with this guy vincente. He's super dope. The gospel has absolutely changed his life. He used to be an alcoholic and drug user. And now he has given it all up. And by no means is he perfect but he is trying and it shows. It was a testament to the fact the gospel changes lives - also dont worry its not just me and my comp playing d&d its the other elders two ok so we're not weird - the testigos tried to get us but they didn't -  don't worry but sad because they were two old ladies so we couldn't bible bash :( - hermano sena showed up to church and it was actually was so cool :) -jorge and his family are also super cool they came to church too :) - also ha...

Happy New Year 2026

  - this week was both fun and hard - we met this kid named Lucas. He's super cool. He told us he always knew we would come. And also that he wanted to change his life.  - also made fried chicken so that's dope.  - also randomly felt like we needed to visit this lady, we dropped by and it turns out she's getting surgery so that's cool - no one came to church but that's ok a bunch of inactive people came so that was nice. - we also started the year 2026, wow crazy - everyone here just drinks so we had to be in the house by 7:30. But we made some cookies and went to bed early so solid Holliday  - my comp doesn't think I'm funny. That I'm too serious. And now I fear that I have lost my funny.  - lots of door knocking which is good but hard. Lots of people who like to yell at us and tell us that they KNOW Christ. But would Christ yell at two random strangers. Nope I don't think so - also there's this kid named Juanca who can't get baptized becaus...
