Sheeshh this week was a grind but it was one of the best weeks of my life lets get it
So obviously all of you know i love my mission and Argentina. Lets talk about some things i dont like. To start the weather is so inconsistent. Sometimes one day we will be in a blizzard in Alaska and next thing you know im back in Arizona. It literally makes no sense and I hate being cold and the start of this week was freezing but then the end of the week it was blazing Hot. What the sus, but also we dont got no Hot water anymore. So lets just say after a freezing day I am not too happy to have to go take a cold shower. It has been a bit of a struggle and it started out with me washing my body before i got in the shower and then jumping in for 15 seconds haha, but now ive turned into an absolute animal and i feel nothing.... Cold showers are now scared of me
Haha also something really funny, but when you flush the toilet here it takes a good 30 minutes to be able to flush again. So sometimes me and my comp have to take a poop at the same time and so one of the poops just sits in the toilet haha
Also the elections just happened in Argentina so hopefully I survive the chaos that will soon come
But boom we got a baptism this week lets gettttt itttt. We baptized this absolute stud named Junior. The kid is like 13 and hes hilarious, he loves calling me weston and trying to yell some sentence in English. It was actually really easy to baptize him because his mom was an inactive member that wanted to come back. But i love that kid so much it was so awesome, absolute capo
I think this week I might've seen the biggest miracle so far in my mission. So to start the month, me and Elder Jones were inspired to put 5 baptisms as our monthly goal for October. Right now we are at 2 and in order for someone to get baptized they need to come to church 2x. So we needed 3 New people to come to church this sunday to have a chance at hitting our goal. So during Sacrament meeting we had 1 New person which is a dub but i was like there is no way, what could I have done better? why aren't people coming? We passed by this family in the morning and they told us they were coming what happened! And as im sitting there praying my heart out, THEY SHOW UP, a mom and her daughter. It was the biggest miracle and all I know is 3 people are getting baptized this week.
What hurts is the ZL's absolutely ripped into us because they dont think were gonna get our goal and they were talking about how Elder Jones is a DL and he needs to be an example. I was really upset and Elder Jones did the christ-like thing and just said were sorry we will work harder. I almost started ripping into them because I was upset because we worked our butt off this week, got 3 New people to church which is the most in our zone, and then they come and rip into us. Whatever i love proving people wrong
Sorry this email was long but i had a lot to get off my chest haha. But me and Elder Jones have officially figured out the formula to why missionaries arent successful
1. Disobedience
2. Unworthiness (inable to teach with the spirit)
3. Lack of faith
I think people really overlook the last one, FAITH. FAITH literally is everything. Our god is a god of miracles yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Have faith he will put people in your path, have faith things will get better for work, school, etc. Miracles are brought by FAITH, also everyone go read ur patriarcal blessing, love yall!
