I LOVE ARGENTINA AND I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. The words of the Book of Mormón prophet, Alma, sums up how I feel.

Alma 29:1 "O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!"

Highlights from this week:

I'm training again! Hermana Fleitas is from Paraguay and we've had a banger of a first week! She placed her first baptismal date and is learning really fast! It'll be an awesome three months.

Had a baptism in our chapel... sadly not one of our friend  but it was still cool. They asked us to fill up the baptismal font so we pulled up to the church to start the water and IT'S FULL. THERE HASNT BEEN A BAPTISM IN THIS CHAPEL SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC so the water was nasty with a capital N but it wasn't draining... so we start scooping out the mosquito larvae filled water with buckets and squeegeeing it into the women's bathroom drain until we went to the electric box and figured out the power was turned off to the baptismal font. And then it went better. haha

Our friend Richard (17 years old) got baptized three years ago and since then hasn't come to church since, but he's come two Sundays in a row and this week brought his little brother!! We're visiting their entire family and now Richard wants to serve a mission and I died of happiness to hear it.

Also we had a hot dog potluck in the chapel to celebrate "day of the friend" this week. More investigators came than members so that was a win. haha

Send me an email! I have less than FOUR months left in my mission so if you want wisdom from me you're running out of time. Haha just kidding -- but I love you guys and I'd love to hear from you! Have a good week!
