The Savior knows us

 - week was solid

- elder canchi had to travel to get his visa so i got to stay in Formosa capital for two days with the lzs and it was lit

- we got hamburgers 

- and casa pan very yummy

- also we had divis in las lomitas which was chill

- got to ride a bike for the first time in a long while and it was quite enjoyable

- then the next morning elder Hoge and i when out on the bikes for exercise and wow I'm out of shape but its lit 

- also made Brazilian estroganof and was quite yummy

- we also did contacts in the plaza for like an hour. Which was super ineffective but very fun I love when the people say no

- also sang this I know my savior lives for this old lady in Formosa and it was very powerful

- and wow all the apartments in the capital are just three story sprawling mega communist apartments. That have the paint falling off

- also xiomara got baptized which was sick! 

- we had a nice Sunday and hoped back on the find grind because we have no friends

- but lowk a little miracle we had one book of Mormon left and i didn't want to take it with me to teach because i didn't want to give it to someone who wasn't elect. But the thought came to take it and so reluctantly i did. Then we met this lady who said she had one but lost it. And she said she knew it was true. So we gave it to her. 

Spiritual thought:

This week this lady told us that Jesus never felt what she felt because he never got married. (She recently got divorced) and wow how incredibly wrong she is. Jesus understands and has felt every pain and sadness we have ever felt. Never forget that. But sometimes it's just hard to feel that perfect love and sympathy that he has for us. So pray! Get on your knees and pray. Or read! Or go to the temple! Or the mountains! Take a deep breath and think of how grateful we are for a savior who knows and feels and helps!

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...

  - 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...
