Christlike Service

 - this week we finally got the three miracle kids that showed up to church on Sunday to chat. Fire lesson with lautaro, santi, and uriel. And the bishop's son fedde came which was fire. Just drinking a terere and eating, cooking, and playing truco. We also shared a fire message about the restauracion. But i did feel a little like I was just chilling with the guys.  

- but this week this lady natalia and her kid came to church, she can't get baptized because she got tp get married but we gonna baptize her kid so its chill #bapthekids

- this week i ran a divis with elder Roberts. Bro is literally me. I ran my first divis in the area where I'm at now. But bro was lit and we had a fire divis

- we put our boys jorge and santi on bautismal date and jorge is like 5 ft tall and like 20 but plays futbol like a demon

- then i also ran divis with elder mesías, and elder from Peru, another big chiller 

- bro this week i was also blessed by probably the best asado of my mission. The Aragno family blessed us up. Literally just this beautiful display of meat and holy it was so good. 

Spiritual thought
This week I had to give a church talk. And well I was not prepared. But thanks to the Holy spirit I whipped something together. And well id like to share a little bit about what I talked about. 

I shared two stories about service. They first story was about my Grandma Barb. I shared that my grandpa Rex had Parkinson disease, and that for the last few years of his life my Grandma had to be 100% his caretaker. She fed him, bathed him, watched him. And kept on serving him up until he passed away in 2020. A true disciple and follower of Jesus Christ. Serving someone who at that time could give literally nothing in return. 

I also shared some scriptures of the 13th chapter of John. Where Jesus Christ washed his disciples feet. I noted that jesus washes all the disciples feet. Even Peter, who would deny him, Judas who would betray him, and Thomas, who didn't believe at first that He had been Resurrected. 

And well i guess I share my testimony that Christ like service is the most beautiful and loving thing we can do for another. And well sometimes its hard, but it always worth it

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...
