"I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Yo how's it going party animals. Things are going pretty good here in Ezeiza, there are lots of people to teach and we've been able to put a ton of people on date for baptism. The only problem is we've had General Conference and Stake Conference in the same month so that has kind of killed our dates. Also one of our friends who we put on date is just straight up ghosting us, but it's all good cause we put her neighbor on date and she's super ready to be baptized. 

We had our Zone Conference and I got to see the boys from CCM, minus my g Elder Price. Super epic, pday doesn't feel like pday if I'm not in lafe playing futbol with the boys.   

Me and my comp were talking about how the mission feels like a videogame. But the other day we got a side quest from this lady to find her dog. We said we'd look but Ezeiza is a big place and there are a ton of dogs. So we go to all of our plans and most of them fall through, and we have about an hour before our next lesson. My comp asks me "do you wanna look for this dog?" And I'm like you bet, so we say a prayer and we're just wandering the streets aimlessly, and then we find the dog! We called the lady and chased the dog for like 8 blocks but everything ended up good.  The dog found it's way home. 

Living with 4 Elders is fun, but let's just say we have different standards of cleanliness. 

I'm thinking a lot about prayer. There is real power in it when we do it with a sincere heart. This means being willing to act on our promptings no matter what. 3 Nephi 18:20-21, whatever we need if we ask in the name of Christ, God will give us, and we should always pray as a family. 

I love you shabones, stay frosty and all that jazz I'll catch you on the flip. 

 

1 week later...

My bad I forgot to send this last week but, we had a baptism! Gloria got baptized and I got to do it, it was pretty epic. She shared her testimony after and it was so powerful.  We're hoping to baptize her daughter. That was pretty much it last week. We play lots of skull King. Transfers are this week so well see what happens. stay frosty.

 Yo wazzup, you incredibly attractive individuals? Pretty wack 2 weeks not gonna lie, here in Ezeiza. 

Last pday we went to a mall place and played pool. It's really a way different experience than in Castillo and Lafe. It's recheto here.

Almost all of our friends who have baptism dates, have dengue, the mosquito disease. And literally ever week before Sunday somebody in someone's family passes away, so I think Satan really doesn't want these peeps to be dunked.  But we have two other friends that are super awesome and si o si are gonna get baptised this month.

Our Zone set a new person goal of 100 this week. It was kinda nuts, we were all talking with literally everyone in the streets, the elders that live with us went ham and found like 27 people by themselves. We only found 14 but we still reached the goal as a zone, and we had like 2 days less than everyone.

I got violently sick. Me and my comp decided to do a fast and after I ate some really alto guiso. We had planning that day and during it my stomach hurt a ton, then during our English class I ran to the bathroom and threw up ever meal I've ever eaten. I had the worst stomach pain ever for the whole night and every time I drank a tiny bit of water I'd throw it up immediately. I didn't get to sleep until like 5 am the next day. After that we chilled tranqui in the pench for a day. But we are all good now.

General Conference was absolute heat. Really cool to watch Holland cook again. And the new guy Kearon has got some good potential. I noticed that it is all about our relationship with God this conference, I like that because it's something we teach a lot. How He loves us and wants us to strengthen our relationship with Him by using our agency to make covenants. Our prophet and others really stressed the importance of the temple, as the place that really is the house of the Lord and where we can make more covenants. I want to re-invite you all to go to the temple, but to also do the best you can to prepare to get the most out of it, and then to pray to receive revelation and understanding. 

My bad for the long email... I love y'all. Stay frosty. Keep it real. I'm out.
