Week # no idea....

so this week we had a great time teaching people!! And finally this sunday Tatiana and Luigi came to church! They both liked it too! They are another colombian family that we are teaching! They are the best! So that was forsure the highlight of the week! 

so right now we are teaching a lot of poeple but not all of them are progressing a ton.... argentina is sometimes a little hard with that for the fact that the poeple are super lazy and dont read very often.... so we are just constantly looking for people that really want to learn and willing to read and do what we leave them! but yesterday we had an amazing lesson with our neighbor we are teaching, Walter! hes such a great guy! The other week we left him the inviation of reading moroni 10 3-5 and he told his he prayed, felt great, and then had an amazing week and wants to keep learning more! So that was sooooo great to hear!!!! we then had an amzing lesson with him! I am so excited to see where this leads! he really is a dope guy and his family really needs this gospel! 

So besides that, the week was pretty normal. we worked a bunch, walked a bunch, and sweated a bunch... hahaha but its now starting to get a little bit colder luckily! Well i love you all and hope your weeks are great!

Different Week

One weird week forsure.... 

Well to start out wednesday Elder Bunker got sick and another elder from our zone got sick. We went to the hospital to get medicine and stuff then they both went back to rest in the house and I went out with the other elder from our Zone! Elder Guarcax!!! Hes a super dope kid from Guatemala who just got to the mission a month ago! Hes super sick actually! I loved the 2 days i had with him haha we had a lot of fun! 

Finally friday Elder Bunker was better again and we got to go to a wedding which was super dope! The parents of our investigators got married! It was super cooL! At the moment they dont actually want anything but we will keep trying to teach them and help them understand! But now that they are married it will be a lot easier haha!

So other things that happened this week arent very much! it was pretty normal! It was kinda a hard week to be honest with people to teach but its all good! We did have an amazing day yesterday tho! We had division with an area in our zone and elders Peralta y Mills! Mills is actually from Gilbert! He went to Highland! Such a dope kid hahah we are like really good friends here haha its dope! The day was so dope! We taught a bunch of new people and had some amazing lessons with people! In one day we found 16 new people to start teaching and 12 of them accepted baptism coming up in the next month so we will have a lot of work to do :)

Well i love you all and hoipe you have a great week!

So here are some pics of the wedding and other stuff and we painted this kiosko with the newly weds lol! And ya good times

Week 6 of this transfer

This week was kinda a normal week! It was the last week of the transfer which is always kinda the hardest week... no one knows whether or not they are going to stay or go to a new area and a lot of elders dont work as hard... Its quiet disappointing to see but its very common the last week of each transfer. 

But good news is that Bunker and I are staying 1 transfer more together! Thats super good! Our zone had a ton of changes... hahaha only 2 areas stayed the same! So thats going to be fun to get to know a bunch of new missionarys! Im super excited for these next 6 weeks!

So we are teaching a bunch of people right now actually! If you guys can pray for Bruno, Mica and Nachos parents so that they can decide to get married! That would be dope! Also for this list of people we are teaching!
1. Solcito and 8 year old girl whos brothers are members

2. Nicolàs whos 11 and his bro is a member

3. Franco, Alan, y Romina a fam we are teaching that are super awesome.

4. Tatiana, Luigi, Sandra y Felix another fam from Colombia!

A week of work

So lets see here.... this week was a little more dificult! So the other week we kinda baptized all of our investigators that were progressing and going into this week it was a little more dificult... haha we had to look for new people to teach so much! But after a lot of work we found new people to start teaching!!!

So now we are starting to work a lot more with members in the ward!! What our president wants is that the members start to work in the missionary work! What the church lacks here in Argentina is members that do their callings and help others outside of church. Most members are sunday members... and what he wants is that all the members start to help their friends come to church and to give us more referances! So we are going to start that this week! Working more with them and trying to help others feel the joy of this work!  This is something i learned before the mission that this work actually makes one a lot more happier that normal life does. I love life right now and all i do is serve others! When we serve, we are filled with a different type of happiness that beats anything else!

So honestly this week, not much happened! We worked super hard like always! I have really liked being a Zone Leader and trying to help other missionarys the best that i can! I have learned a lot and even learned how to love others even more and think about others before myself! The mission is full of lessons useful for the rest of your life haha!

Well i love you all! SOrry i didnt take any pictures this week.... but ill try and do it this week! Oh next week is transfers so we will see if Bunker and I stay togeher! I sure hope so haha!

MILAGRASOS (Miracles)in the Lords work

Lets just say this week was a week milagrasos! (Miracles) So here in cordoba our President is really focusing in on each area working hard each month to accomplish their goal that they set in the beginning of the month! I love it a lot! It helps everyone really focus in on completing their goals! And i really learned that this goal we set isnt ours but the Lords goal!

So to explain why this month Elder Bunker prayed and felt inspired to put our goal as 8 people to baptize! We worked super hard every single day and had a lot of success! Going into this last week of the month, we had baptized 3 people and were planning on baptizing 3 more! We had interviews with President and told him this about our plans and he tells us, Thats great that you have 3 but you still need to find 2 more people to baptize in order to accomplish the Lords goal! So this Monday Elder Bunker and I prayed and I said the prayer. I explained the situation and how we would need some miracle this week if we were going to accomplish His goal of 5 more people entering the waters of baptism in the month of February. And from this moment we went to work! We worked so very hard every single day and were blessed with 5 amazing miracle! A family: Leidy, Laura y Dulce were prepared by the Lord to be baptized this Sunday and Bruno an 18 year old kid and Patricio a 9 year old kid were also prepared! I really do know that we 

worked hard every day but that this would not have been possible if the Lord did not prepare the way! I know this is the Lords work. I know he prepares the way and the people to recieve the Gospel! I know that I am a called Servant of God sent here to help the people come closer to him! I love this work, this Gospel, and my Savior Jesus Christ! I get closer to him every single day! I really am so greatful for all the miracle that we recieved this week and will be a witness my whole life of him! 

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!!!

BUSY BUSY BUSY (Feb. 20th, 2018)

Well this week was a week awesome! Micaela y Nacho got confirmed this Sunday and wow was it crazy getting them to church! we got to there house to walk with them and no one answers the door.... we sat there knocking for seriously over 15 mins, pounding on the door so loud the whole time! We almost left but decided to stay 1 min longer and finally Bruno, their older brother came to the door! So we got into the house and got the whole family to church! I even had to pick Nacho up out of bed and carry him outside and put on his shoes to wake him up hahaha! But in the end it was great and the whole fam came to church! 

Seriously we have been so busy every single day its been crazy! The days fly by becuase every second of every day we have something to do or someone to teach! I love it so muich! As Zone Leaders, we are able to teach divisions with each elder in our zone every month! So 5 times a month we bring other elders to our area and the 4 of us work in our area! Its basically used to show all the missionarys in the mission the vision of President and how we should be working as missionarys! I have loved doing it becuase we are able to find even more people to teach and we can learn from other missionarys and help them out in their mission! Our zone has a lot of missionarys with the same amount of time in the mission as me but we still have a lot to learn from each other!

I love the mission so much and am so happy to be where I am right now! The mission has changed my life a ton and has made me so much happier! Love you all so much and hope you all have a great week! Keep praying for the people in Argentina to recieve this gospel!

 A Coumbian family that we are teaching!  Edwin, Leidy, Laura, y Dulce!  They are soooo awesome!

The ZONE!

Elder Christofersen!!!!

This week was a great week! I am learning to love my area more and more every day! The people here really are super humble and willing to learn even tho it is a barrio a little better off! 

So this week Elder Christofersen came to the MAC this saturday! And wow I can testify that he is an Apostle Called by the Lord to testify of him! Something that i loved that he taught was the importance we have has members of this church to help people be re born through the waters of Baptism in the eternal plan that our Heavenly Father created! Everyone to be able to get back to God must be baptized and purified by the Holy Ghost first. And it is only through the mercy of Jesus Christ that this is possible! This is so important that he has sent around 70,000 kids around the world to teach this doctrine and help his other children have the change to be baptized. But this is not only the job of the missionary but of all of us that are members of the church. We should be sharing the message with all of our friends and family becasue we know how important this message really is! He explained is way better but it would take a 2 page essay just to explain it like he did so this is the smaller version hahaha! 

So we didnt have a baptism this week but we are planning on having a few this Sunday! So if you can all pray for Laura, Dulce, Pablo and Patricio that would be awesome! Also if you can say a quick prayer for Micaela and Nacho who were baptized the last week to help them out it would be really apreciated! Love you all!! Sorry i dont have much time this week! But hope everything is well!
