Use the Atonement

 - lit had divis with my boy elder butt. CCM comp running it back and suffice it to say it was lit

- this was my last week here in centenario and lowk kinda sad I love these people

some people shout outs

- araceli and Soraya, araceli got baptized a couple months ago and soraya is still working towards the goal but I love these people so much

- The Garay family, we ate lunch with them every Friday they're the goats

- lionel and his family, this little family, mom, son, and two daughters, I love them so much

- alison and her grandma ramona

- hna susana. We ate lunch with her every Saturday

- then I took a bus Tuesday morning to resi after a fat mate and nap, and some sleep parálisis we pulled up. I also enjoyed my last casa pan. Kinda sad but the chipa was gasss

- then got to the new area with my new comp elder Andrade 

- found some new dope people!! One family that has a daughter out on a mission, a couple massive parcial member families and it seems like there's a lot of potential here

- welp the time finally came, I had to use my epi pen. I ate this little chocolate thing and welp my body just decided to shut down, a swollen face, ears, throat, hands, and well after a 30 minute walk to the pension I stabbed myself with the epi pen and then we rolled to the hospital the pte y hna cervantes showed up, the nurse there gave me a shot (in the booty) and then after a few minutes my body calmed down - kinda crazy
 
- then the Sunday was definitely a little different. My last ward had over 100 member attendance and now this Sunday the meeting started 25 minutes late and 20 people came.... so a lot of work to do

Spiritual thought
To be honest I never really put much thought into this section but today I'll try to put in some more effort. 

This week I was studying a lot about the fall of Adam and eve. And well i don't understand all the details and complexities of the fall. But I do understand that thanks to that event we have the opportunity to come to the earth, unrestricted in our ability to choose. And to learn and grow. And this in a sense makes us free. But just with the atonement we can truly be free, free from sin and death. So, use the atonement!!

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...
