Missionary work is fulfilling & good

 -rad p day in capital

- bought a dope belt and some gaucho stuff, i shall return as an argentine gaucho 
-
 ate two burgers :)

- played coup and some other fun games

- tuesday i just did contacts in public as i waited for my comp. Very ineffective but very fun, me and this other elder just walked around preaching the gospel and it was dope 

- finally got my comp named elder holguin. A crac

- we pulled up to campo and got working, we found a bunch of news this week which was a blessing. 

- for all the missionaries out there chapter 6 of pmg has like a test where you mark 1 to 5 on a statement to see how often or never, you do something. And it has like this mini test for a bunch of attributes of Christ. Fun fact i scored lowest of charity and love so welp

- found this kid named Lucas who is super dope! He opened the BOM and now is in nefi 8. But a little worried he just like talking but whatever

- Another cool person this week is Hermano paz! He is not a member and is super old, but he lives at samantha and lucas (other lucas) house. And he can't do much because he's really old but whenever we shake his super old hands he has a big smile on his face 

- we ate at hermana raquels house

- then her son like ran away (hes 21) so we went and knocked doors trying to find him for a couple hours

- my dope evangelical homie Ivan gave me a haircut even tho he knew we didn't have any cash, we got him a monster and cookies tho

Spiritual thought:
God's purpose and plan for you is perfect! Trust! Be obedient, and believe. The plan isn't that you stay the same and unchanged, the plan is that you change and grow! Don't get stuck in a rut! 

- elder max

Ps i genuinely love being a missionary. That is not to say that it is easy. (This week just the branch president and his family showed up to church, and only because a señor couple drove them.) it rains! And then it's hot! But for some reason I love it. It is so fulfilling and good.

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

Image
  - 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...
