Cordoba, The Great Race!

 How are you all doing this lovely Tuesday morning/Afternoon? This week flew by. I can't believe that time Flys this quick!


Córdoba, the great race!
Everytime I go to Córdoba the Same thing sticks out about the cars. It always feels like I'm in a race when I'm I the Uber. People here speed, they speed bad. It's very rare for a cop or a local guard to pull someone over. There always focused on the more "dangerous" stuff. You could speed in front of one of them and they wouldn't care at all. Another thing really wierd is that more then half the streets don't have any lines to make lanes. The streets are big enough to fit 4 cars. So you are bobbing and weaving through all these cars at full speeds, without cops to regulate the rules! Literally a massive race. Last night in the remi the guy was going 74 mph on state street!


Jenny!!!
Jenny the dog started following us again. We accidently walked by her house, and she saw us. She followed all the way to the church. We showed her so much love the entire way there to make up from a while ago.(Don't worry I repented.) We hopped in the car of Pte Moyano to go pick up our friends. She didn't want to leave us again so she started chasing the car. She made the decision to run in front of Pte Moyanos car, and Moyano could not see her. All of a sudden the car feels a bump, and we hear a dog cry. Turns out Pte Moyano ran over Jenny, and she snapped her leg. But she still got up and followed us, even with a snapped leg and hip! The power if love!


Transfers
We have transfers today. Turns out I'm staying in Las Varillas... with a new comp! His name is Elder Barrientos, and he was born in Columbia, but raised in Yacamah, Washington. He has about 3 transfers left in the mission, so he is ending his mission in Las Varillas. He's about 5'6 and full of energy. So far he is an absolute Goat!
My boy Elder Shill made his way over to LA Falda!


Missionary Work
We have a few people that are progressing really well.
- Elias- He came to church out of the blue. He loved it so much that he wants to come again! We gave him a boom if Mormon, and helped him find gospel music. Hopefully we can pass by him this week and put him on date.

-Tamara - a single mom with 3 kids. She has a lot of pain and anguish weighing on her. She had a few family members die, and all her family and friends blamed it on her. (She didn't do it) Because if it she has bad depression, and wants to kill herself. We had a very spiritual lesson with her inside the church. We helped her feel that she is a loved daughter if God. She was balling hers eyes out after. Sadly this Sunday she didn't go, and we haven't been able to contact her. Hopefully we can find her and continue helping her

-Zulnilda- She a Grandma that wants to learn more about Christ. She is living with her divorced husband, and she wants to get out of the house. Sadly she did not come to church.

-Gisella - Another single mom with 2 kids. We found her in the street walking home from the Kiosco. She told us that she wanted to change her life, and that she would be willing to do anything to get baptized again. She has a date to get baptized with her 2 kids on the 7th of spetember! Sadly she didn't go to church because she was on vacation. 


Sprirtual Thought
Mosiah 27:28-29
28: Nevertheless, after wading through much tribulation, repenting nigh unto death, the Lord in mercy hath seen fit to snatch me out of an everlasting burning, and I am born of God.
 29: My soul hath been redeemed from the gall of bitterness and bonds of iniquity. I was in the darkest abyss; but now I behold the marvelous light of God. My soul was racked with eternal torment; but I am snatched, and my soul is pained no more.

The redeeming light and joy of Christ through repentence! So powerful knowing we can feel his light and be forgivin for our sins!

Thank you all for reading my email. I hope you guys all have a great week. Full Steam Ahead! If you wanna send me an email please do. I'm stuck on a 4 hour bus ride! 
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 Córdoba capital. I have spent my entire mission in pueblitos outside of Córdoba Capital. Which working in the 2 are complet...

Witches, Dark Spirits and Jesus's Girlfriend

Image
  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 Día! 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...
