Semana 12

 ¡Hola a todos!


Another awesome week! Here's the highlights:

  • The best part of my week was yesterday when the kids in my Ward asked me to Rap in English for them. I broke out one of the best Luckus verses I could do, and they went crazy. I thought it was so funny that they were still impressed when they didn't understand a single word of what I said
  • It was REALLY COLD this week. Cold here is nothing like dry, Colorado cold: it's 100% humidity, bone-chilling cold. The best part is that usually the bone-chilling cold is accompanied with crazy rainstorms. The best part about cold weather is that families are more likely to let us in when they see us shivering!
  • One night on the way down to one of our neighborhoods, we got caught in a HUGE storm, so we spent the night walking from house to house in ankle-high water on straight dirt roads. It rained so hard, Elder Packer's Umbrella broke. Mine managed to survive which was a major W
  • I am officially too tall for this country. I was walking out of a bank and hit my head so hard on a sign that I got a huge cut on my scalp. The tellers found it much more amusing then I did
  • This week had its challenges, but I managed to make the best of it as I looked for the little bits of sunshine every day. We got rejected a ton, but I ate Empanadas for dinner every night this week! It's a lot easier to make it through tough times when you're actively looking for the blessings every day
Working hard, learning a ton, and having a blast! I'm so blessed to be down here in Argentina. Make sure to let me know how you're doing!

Cuernos Abajo,

  Hola amigos y familia... en Martes?!? Qué?!? I've decided that there's never actually a regular week in the mission... I can't actually get into everything that happened this week, but just know that it was wild as per usual.  Here's my highlights: Got robbed on Tuesday last week!! It was my first time getting robbed so I was a little nervous  but luckily I didn't have to worry about it too much because someone just stole my wallet out of my pocket when I was sleeping on a bus. Luckily I didn't have anything too valuable stolen, but I am missing that $50 bucks worth of Pesos right about now New youth album dropped this week and it slaps, almost makes missing the Utopia drop a little bit easier Elder Yetter had his first Argentina-rainy-day experience this week and he was not a fan. "Friday sucked" - Elder Yetter, direct quote We had a lesson this week at the Chapel with a dude named Ruben, which in theory is usually a good idea. However, bro did not ...

  ¡Hola amigos y familia! Wild week, here's the highlights: Got McDonald's this week! I legitimately shed a tear of joy it was just so good. Nothing slaps harder than a Big Mac meal Parted ways with Elder Packer in Posadas, in our last moments together we almost got robbed by a dude who told me a pidgeon said I needed to repent Slept on the floor of a Chapel in Posadas so I could catch a bus to Resistencia at 2 am, would not recommend Picked up my new companion Elder Yetter in Resistencia on Tuesday, and he's pretty dope! Speaks just about zero Spanish, but at least he's excited to be here We got stuck in Posadas for about three days because there was a bus strike, so me and my brand new greenie (new missionary) got an unfortunate mini-vacation from missionary work for half of the week. I had to keep telling him "Don't worry, I promise we do more stuff than this every day" We stayed with some of the Elders in Posadas while we were waiting for the bus strik...

  Hola a todos Highlights: This week on Monday our friend Maria Hellman appeared at our ward activity and told us that she wanted to be baptized... which was super awesome until we went to her house to teach her and she said that she had decided to leave the church... skipped a few steps there but its all good  On the topic of ugly dogs our friend Sergio's mangy dog followed us for about 2 hours on Tuesday and I almost punted that thing so far On the topic of kicking animals Elder Rasmussen and I were walking home one night and a GIANT rat jumped on my foot and I kicked that thing so far you have no idea There was an absolute Monsoon in Formosa the other day, it was raining/hailing so hard that our door got knocked off the hinges I am so confused by some of the music here. There's a lot of Drug trade that goes down on the street where we live, and the dealers LOVE to sit outside and blast music all night. The confusing part is that you might think that the tough street gangs w...
