Amazing Week Here in Argentina!

Well, This week was awesome! Silvia Avila got baptized! Her service was seriously perfect! She showed up with the biggest smile on her face and brought a ton of her family members! It was awesome! The spirit was super strong! At one point, one of her sisters and friends began to hug her and they all 3 started to cry! It was so cool to see someone follow Christ and have so much love for him! She even brought a few of her nephews that also came to church Sunday and now want to be baptized as well! We are super happy! We are being blessed left and right out here!!!

So 3 times a week here we do exchanges with other Zone Leaders! It has been super fun! They always come to our area and we just work super hard! Its super cool to get to know them all better and see how they work and we always learn a little from them and them from us! it´s super cool experience! it really is a blessing to have them with us! This week I was able to work with 3 missionary, Elder Ponce from Peru, Elder Mooneyham, my boy from my group, and Elder Rivas from El Salvador! It was super awesome! We had a ton of success! We have found a ton of families that we are teaching that all want to get to know the church and learn about Christ! We are being blessed a ful! I learned a lot this week, to  be honest! 1. The importance of have the spirit with you at all times and be yourself at the same time! You don't have to be boring to have the spirit! You can be super lively and just when you need to, call the spirit and change the atmosphere like a light switch! it was super cool to have those experiences this week!

Well, I love the mish! I had a super hard but cool experience this week when we took Elder Montes to the Air Port. Once he went home, Hna Correa asked who the next there was going to be going home. All of the missionaries in the office looked at me and said, Zaugg. It really was super sad to hear that. I still have a lot of time left here in Argentina and I am so glad that I do! I love it here in Argentina and hearing that in just 4 months I will be coming home put it in respective how much I need to take advantage of every moment I have here! I love being a representative of Jesus Christ! I love this gospel! The life of a missionary is the best! 

I love you all! Hope you have a great week! Talk to you next week!

One Crazy Week!

Hey everyone how you all doing!

Well sorry but I really don't have like much time today but ill try and write out the best I can of the craziest week of the mish hahaha

Well so starts out Wednesday with a training we did with the new missionaries and the trainers! It was way cool! The spirit was way strong the whole meeting! There is something about the new missionaries! They just get here with just a strong sense of the spirit and you can really feel it! So that was all morning long basically! Then we got together and told them all where they were going to serve first and who their dads were going to be! It was a way cool day! In the area, we had an interview with a woman named Silvia whos getting baptized this Saturday! She is from Peru and is way cool! Such a nice woman! Montes and I went to Romina and did the practice interview with her! she was super ready too! We just had to re-teach a few things! She got baptized this Sunday! it was a super cool experience! She is a really great woman! 

 

Ummm, to be honest, a ton happened this week I don't even know where to start!

Well, yesterday we had a training with all the zone leaders of the mission and it was way fun! For the past 6 months, I had gone to these training but I have never understood how much planning and time goes into one of them! We spent around 10 hours doing all the prep stuff for it and planning what we were going to teach! But it went super great! It was around 4 hours which was kinda long but fun! And after that, we did intercambios with the ZL from Catamarca, the provenance like 6 hours away from the capital and that was way fun! I went with Vaz!!!! I missed Vaz a lot haha! he's such a great guy! love him a lot! We only were able to go to the area for a few hours but we were blessed and had a lot of success!! seriously it was awesome! We met a ton of new people in an area we call ¨Perusalen¨ For all the people from Peru that live there! It is such a great neighborhood! All the people are so kind and humble and listen to us! It was honestly a great night! It was like the good old times with Vaz in the office again hahaha! we taught like the same, way as usual just a little bit better now with more experience haha! 

So today elder Montes goes home! Its going to be sad to see him go! he is a really good friend of mine for sure! I have learned a lot from him! Constanza and I are going to stay to guard the nest here in Cordoba! Its going to be fun to be just 2 of us like normal! Hes a stud! 

Well i love you all! Hope you all have a great week! Talk to you next week!

Hey Everyone so this week we had transfers! I am sadly leaving San Vicente! It really was one of my favorite areas! We were so blessed there! I really did love it! So crazy news, I'm going back to the offices but this time a little different haha! I'm going to be an assistant to Presidente Correa! I am super excited to work with him again! He is such an amazing guy! 

So now to talk about this last week! Well, we had an amazing week, to be honest! Wellington, Valentina, and Sebastian all got baptized on Sunday and them 3, and the family Garcia were all confirmed members of the church! It was a very special day!! The whole ward was so happy for them and accepted them all very well! Seriously it was a great day in San Vicente! I am going to miss all the people I met there! The members, and the people I helped get to church! I will also miss them... But hey I am going to send a ton of photos so just wait to see them! Um after the baptisms we went and ate Carne al Disco which is such an amazing meal here that only 1 member I know makes! And then I went and said goodbye to all the family I have made these past 6 months! So besides that let's see. 

I am going to Barrio Arguello with Elder Constanza as my Comp and for 1 more week we are going to be a trio and Elder Montes will be my comp! I am way excited!! They are such studs, to be honest! I have been super lucky with my comps, to be honest! So the next few months we are going to be way busy and I am way excited! Love you all lots! Have a great week!
