Worst Hair Cut!












What’s up fam? How is everybody doing!! This week was party week for the city which definitely made the work a little bit harder for us if you ask me. This week we were looking for new people and everyone was busy with "the fiestas" so that was a little bit irritating!! Oh well! We’ll have a way better week this week. I’m sure of it!! Here is a story from this week!! We were waiting in the street for our bus and an old lady asked us for the time!! We told her the time and she said "oh good the mormons have the same time as us because they do everything different". And oh man my comp said in a quiet voice "ya but we’re better than you". She WIGGED out and there was a scene in the middle of the plaza and we literally had to call the police over to leave us alone so... ya there’s our story of the week for you guys haha!!
I got the worst hair cut of my life. I guess every missionary has to have a bad hair cut and this week was my turn. The sister was cutting my hair and wasn’t happy with it. She just kept cutting it shorter and shorter and then got so frustrated that she buzzed it. Oh well! Anyways hope the fiestas have been great for everyone and I love you all

64 People at Church!







HEY fam how is everybody doing!! This week has been really good so I’ll tell you guys a little bit about it!! This week actually we found a bunch of new people!! First, we found people that have been inactive for like 20 years. The wife and daughter aren’t members so we are gonna work with them!! After them we found a lady who was visiting from Buenos Aires whose daughter and entire family live here and wanted to get baptized before!!! So that is super exciting!! This Sunday literally SO Many people showed up!! Usually we have around 30 people that come to church and this week, we had like 64 PEOPLE COME!! Tons of less active people that haven’t come in years came and like want to get to going again so that’s exciting!! Three of those are people that we can baptize in the future so we took huge advantage of that and taught all of them together!! It was an amazing day!! I hope that the family is doing good because I’m doing freaking great!! I love the mission and I don’t have a whole lot of time left but hey gotta take advantage of it!! talk to you guys soon!!

Mariachi Christmas in Argentina!




What’s up fam!! This week has been good and bad so I’ll tell you how it’s been going!! This last week we had the Christmas conference and it was awesome. We literally had the best food EVER!! Me and Arreola sang mariachi in the talent show. It was really fun to see everyone and it was fun to have a "day off" to say it like that!! After that we started working again on Wednesday! We sadly have lost like a lot of investigators this week and it sucked. The whole week we’re looking for new people and doors were just shut and shut and shut. The whole week we found new people and the got shut down with them the next day. It was a tough week and literally up until Sunday. We didn’t have anyone that was really investigating, and I was praying that we could have some type of miracle or someone to teach.  AND YEEEEE turns out it like totally happened. Something that happened during the week, we found a guy who yelled at us and he was WASTED and he was like "hey elders you know I served a mission in naokin and I kinda miss the church where is it?” With drunk people literally it doesn’t work ever, but we said well here is the church we’ll see you there on Sunday. He said, "you know what you will see me there elders", and this Sunday freak the guy showed up. And he brought with him his 2 daughters and 1 granddaughter and all of them are interested and want to be baptized like her dad!! WHATTTT So were so excited to teach them. They live a little far but hey that doesn’t matter. We’re super excited for them and hopefully all goes well!! Prayers get answered just sometimes not on my time. This week we have interviews with president tomorrow for skype so that’s gonna be a little weird, we’ll see how it goes.  But ya, pretty soon I’ll be skyping all of you guys. I’m pretty excited to see how all of you guys are doing so be ready with questions! This is one of the last times that you’ll get to ask while Im in the mission because the next time we skype I’ll literally be 2 weeks from coming home!! Also, this week I think that it’s my last week so I’m kinda bummed. I really don’t want to leave this area, but we’ll see what happens! Anyways today we’re gonna go hard and have a great p day just in case it’s my last!! Alright love all of you guys and have a fantastic day and I’ll talk to you all very soon!!!



Six Months to Sexy!

December 4
Hey Family!! This week has been pretty good!! I’m here in my third transfer of Villa Dolores and I love it here! I don’t really want to leave because usually three transfers is all that we get, but I do NOT want to leave. We have had some awesome people lately and I want to see all of them through!! One of the people I want to see through is Crystal!! This week Crystal went to literally all the church activities and then went to church on Sunday with her boyfriend!! She is super smart and says that she feels something in her chest when she listens to us and we all know what that is!! She is doing great and her boyfriend also is doing super good! His name is Ezequiel and he is actually like really smart and obtains stuff really fast!! I hope that he comes back to church this next Sunday!! Christian has been having a tough time, he started going back to the testigos de jehova so his ideas are getting all twisted and messed up about what the true gospel is.  Now he kind of just has his own "ideas" and that’s the problem. He shares his ideas in church and when there’s investigators we can’t have that. We need to have a pretty frank talk with him because he’s 31 and he acts like he’s 19. He wants to conform gods rules to him. Meaning, what he likes he’ll follow and what he doesn’t like he won’t.  That’s not how it works and he needs to know that. Other than that, me and Elder Sanchez are getting along like de diez.  He’s a great guy and we’ve been working our butts off lately to get people to church because apparently here it has always been really hard to get people to church! We’re trying to change that mentality of the members showing them that people actually do come haha!!
   This week also marks that I have 6 months left so it’s time to do some six months to sexy! We’ll see how it goes. I’m starting Wednesday after the Christmas conference!! Speaking of the conference its actually tomorrow, so we’re all gonna celebrate Christmas on the 5th of December!! Mom and dad that kinda means that I’m gonna open my presents tomorrow because it’s basically Christmas for me!!  I’m quite excited for that!! I’m also quite excited to talk to all of you on Christmas day!! 
   this week has been really good. I’m happy and excited for this next week to get more people being taught. Right now we’re really still looking for new people and oh my gosh people sometimes are so lazy like gosh dang. Everyone tells us to come back and they just never are there when they come back. So that would be a good thing to pray that this city can be less wicked my goodness haha!
Anyways family, I hope that everything is good!!  I love you guys and hope you have a good week!!
chau chauuu!!
