New Area, New Comp

Hi everybody. I hope your having a good month. This week was suuuupppppeeeerrr long. One of the longest weeks by far. It was All because of 1 thing, Having a sick comp.

Having a sick comp is the absolute worst. A sick comp is like when you're waiting for your plane in the airport, and your flight gets delayed for 12 hours, and your phone just died. ( you have no charger) I was like his Dad for the whole week. Yeah, he was sick from Sunday to Sunday. We didnt go outside to work once during that whole week. There were a few times that I got to leave to work. They were also a few times where we both tried to leave, and the toilet called, every time. It was a painful week, super boring. But in the long run, I got blessed with a stronger connection with my companion. (Which is really important in the field)

(zone conference last week)

Transfers is today, I am currently on the bus to C贸rdoba, to meet my new comp, and check out my new area. My new comp is Elder Gheen. He's a 5'8 Gringo from Virginia. And from what I'm told, he has a extremely thick Virginian accent. I've also been told that his Spanish also has the same accent. He loves milk too. When he goes shopping he buys almost 7 bags of milk, and drinks them all. I don't really know anything about my new area. It's called Santa Ana. What I know is that's its a little pueblita that's flat. It's supposedly really small. The sad part is, you can't see the mountains anymore. I've officially been moved from beautiful mountains, to nothing but fields for as far as the eye can see.

Now my week

Monday: Pday, Vamos. Today was bonkers. We decided to go to Cosquin and chill with the other Elders. Long story short, we got there and my comp felt horrible, so we didn't do anything. We took a bus ride back and chilled in the pension. I got to call and talk to the fam, which is always a blessing.

Tuesday: stayed inside all day, talked, cubed, and studied.

Wednesday: Elder Miller was feeling well enough to go to cosquin again for district council. The ZLs wanted to do exchanges. Turns out they didn't know Elder Miller was sick. Elder Miller decided not to tell them, so that he could go someplace else and try to work. He went to LA Falda, and I stayed in Bialet. I was with Elder Jhonson, and He's a Crack (name they call homies here). We worked and worked, the best part is I finally got to leave the house to work. After we finished we called La Falda, to see how they were doing. Turns out they didn't do any work, because Miller could not leave the toilet.


Thursday: Finished exchanges in the morning, and then talked, slept, and studied.

Friday: slept in till 11:00. Lets gooooo, 12 hours of sleep. Then talked, studied, and played with my rubix cubes.

Staurday: Slept in till 11:00 again. I lobe getting 12 hours of sleep. Other then that we talked, and studied.

(birds eating our trash)

Sunday: Elder Miller woke up feeling a lot better. We got up and went to church. On our walk home from church we got a call from the Office Elders. They told us we need to travel to C贸rdoba that night so that they can do tr谩mites(visa stuff) Monday morning. Freaked us out a little bit because transfers was on Tuesday, and we were being called to train. We worked normally that day, and left for C贸rdoba. When we got there we were starving, the Aps came in clutch and brang us burgers and frys.馃敟馃敟

Monday: Woke up bright and early and headed for tr谩mites. We got there, and it was stacked full of people. The line to check in did a full loop around the block. Luckily there was a senior missionary to help us out, that had already checked in. We took a sear, and waited 2 hours for them to call my name. They took my picture, and my fingerprints. Then waited another 2 and a half hours, for them to call me again, to get my signature and my parents names. After that we got to leave. We had some extra time on our hands, so we decided to explore C贸rdoba. We found this super cool looking building, and decided to see what is inside. Turns out it's the really nice shopping mall, it reminded me of ceazers palace shopping center in Las Vegas. Not the size, but the look. I am definitely going back and checking more of that mall out. we went home and I got to say goodbye to all my friends, because I won't see them again for a long time.



Spiritual Thought

I would like to say that even though this week has been really boring, because of sickness. It has Givin me a lot of time to study. One thing I realized this week, is the importance of the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon. There's some much knowledge, and power that comes from the BOM. The coolest part is, no matter how many times you read it, you will always learn something new. I invite you to read it, a little everyday. Once you finish I invite you to do what Moroni 10:4 says. It will help you get a true and strong testimony of the BOM.


That's all folks, love you all. Don't forget about the emails, I will try my best to respond.
Peace out my ninjas

  How is everyone doing? What's good over there in your neighborhood! I hope you did something enjoyable! This week was 100% different from the week before, and it's not in a bad way. All thanks to my companion, Elder Barrientos. Elder Barrientos How do I explain my comp... Just picture my best friend The baked bean (Matthew Bernal)before his mission, but just short. For others who don't know who the GOAT, the Baked Bean is, it's ok. Instead of explaining him like the Baked Bean, I will explain him differently. He is super Haz, super funny, always quoting memes, and always looking for a good time.        He has about 3 months left in the mission, so he is a little trunky, but im keeping him in check!    The reason why it is all super different is because he is from the city, And im from the farm. He has spent his entire mission in C贸rdoba capital. I have spent my entire mission in pueblitos outside of C贸rdoba Capital. Which working in the 2 are complet...

Witches, Dark Spirits and Jesus's Girlfriend

  This week was full of surprises! We ran into some witches, dark Spirits, and even the girlfriend of Jesuschrist!  Witches We're teaching this family right now of witches! We passed by with David (overpowered member) to see if these people have interest. During the lesson, David whispered to us that they are a family full of witches! We were a little confused, because David has nevr met this family in his life! We shrugged that phrase off and scheduled another appointment! The next time we passed, she asked us to see her magic broomstick!!! She was also cooking up some stew, that was literally neon green, and smoking! Definently a Witch, David was right. Dark Spirit We were walking one day, and we knocked this door, that was hidden behind a few houses. A girl answered, and told us to come inside instantly and help her! We passed, and sat down with her and her husband! The first thing she said was "let me tell you about my husband" she then started blabbing, about all the...

Sleepy Times!

  Buen D铆a! How are all of you people? I hope your all doing well. This week was pretty exciting. Had a lot of things happen that made me find a lot of joy in doing this work. This week we invited everyone to baptism sin miedo (without fear). Because of this we saw the fruits of invitations. We put 7 fechas this week. 6 for the 23rd, and 1 for the 2nd. But sadly everybody is unperfect. Only 3 of the fechas pulled up to church. That means we have to take off all the fechas that didnt go to church. One Fecha named Gabriel, is getting baptized in a river. Sadly he asked my comp to perform the ordinance. That means I don't get to bap in a river.the planning for it goes crazy! We have to scout a spot, find a spot to change, what members want to drive 30 minutes for the baptism. The other 2 are little kids. We get to baptize them on Sunday in a font. Now for the title, I have been really tired every single day, and I'm trying to find a reason why. I think it's because of, my lack...
