BACK TO THE WORK: WEEK 1

Back to the work! So first week out of the office and wow did we work hard! Elder Bunker and I work super well together already! I love it! I got to the new area and we started working instantly! They were already working with a few families who we still pass by and we also found a ton of new people to start teaching! So lets start with Jorge!  Jorge is such an awesome guy! Hes 53 and was baptized this Sunday with Bunker and I! It was so cool! His conversion was super sweet! In 6 weeks he went from smoking 40 cigarettes a day to none! And wow hes so strong in the gospel! He was finally able to be baptized this Sunday after a few short weeks! :) 

We also taught 2 kids Mikaela and her little brother Nacho o Ignacio! Mikaela is 17 and her brother is 9! They are super awesome and also were baptized this Sunday! Bunker and I passed by them everyday this week preparing them for their baptism! And they loved it for sure! We are also teaching their older brother Bruno who wanted to be baptized this upcoming sunday but just 5 minutes before the Sacrament meeting, had to leave to help a friend with something... so now we will have 1 week more to prepare him! Hes 18 years old and really is an awesome guy! We are also teaching their parents who are super nice and like listening to our message!

So we are also teaching a few more families! 2 of the families are from Columbia! They are so awesome! How we met them is actually quite funny, so monday, Vaz and I went to take my bags to my new area from the mission home! When we got there our phone died and the missionarys weren't home. So we decided to be missionarys and knock doors and ask someone to let us charge our phone! The family that let us in was this Columbian Family! And then a few days later Bunker and I just passed by contact them again and we began teaching them! They are super aweome! this sunday 2 of the daughters of one of the families came to church, Laura and Dulce! Super awesome!

So we had an amazing first week together there in San Vicente! I am really excited to keep working here and help out our whole, Zona Este! The whole zone is working so hard! It so awesome! :)

 baptism of Nacho

 We ate with members in a different ward this Sunday and their son has some dope Predator masks hahaha! Each one is so expensive! So we took some sick pics lol

One of the best and one of the hardest weeks

Well this was the best week ever for many reasons and the hardest week ever more many reasons! So lets start out from the beginning! So this week we worked so hard to prepare the 4 people for their baptism! Bruno, Gilda, Flavia, and Enzo! And wow, Sunday was an amazing day! 4 more baptisms to finish the transfer! Seriously we were so blessed this transfer! We always had people to teach and many people wanted to be baptized! it was great! The baptisms were all great! Tons of ´people were there to support them!   

So this week was one of the hardest because I am leaving the office!  I have been transferred to a new area called San Vicente as a Zone Leader! And my comp is one of my best friends here in the mission! Elder Bunker!!! I am so stoked! Its going to be so much fun!!!!! We are going to work so hard in this new area!! But now lets get to why this week was so hard...

So I have been here for 6 months now, this has been my favorite area easily! I love all people here in this area! The members are awesome but especcially all the people I have met in the area! I have learned how to love people here in this area! A type of love that is honestly hard to devolpe for some people! But i have learned how to have the pure love of christ for all the people that I have taught and helped! So last night I said my goodbyes to everyone in the area! And it was so hard! Im going to miss them all! The hardest goodbyes were Flia Frontera which is the family that I have been with for 5 months now, and Flia Juncos, the family of Carla, Carlos, and Jaun Pablo! The 3 youth that were baptized 3 weeks ago! We a huge dinner with Flia Juncos to finish off the night! It was so good! And during the dinner, The mom, Soledad, started to speak and thank us for eveything we have done and what not and we started to all just say our "last words" and it was so hard! I have never felt to heart broken in my life having to leave them to go to a new area! I really do love this family so much and am so happy to see them progress in the church! They are the best!

Well i love you all! I am super excited to get to a new area! I am super excited to leave the office and have all the time in the area to help the people! I know that my Heavenly Father called me here to Córdoba and he keeps calling me to each area that I go to! I love the mission so much and so happy to be here! Love you all and I hope you have a great week! Sorry for the really long email hahaha
