I just wanted to start off my telling you guys about this crazy miracle we have seen in our area. About a month ago me and my comp passed by this family of inactive members. The parents had both been inactive for about 13 years, and when we passed by I remember the first thing I heard out of their mouths was "we aren't going back so don't try", i hit them with the heheheha emote from Clash Royale. But as we were getting to know the family we met Rubí, their daughter, and she accepted to be baptized! This was the 4th sunday in a row they've come to church, and the dad, Ivan, just got tje priesthood and is baptizing his daughter this week or next week It has definitely been one of the most rewarding feelings helping this family especially after the Dad told us how grateful he was that we kept comimg by and helping them return to church, and now they're planning to get sealed a as family in the temple.

Masterchef Junior
Definitely been one of the highlights of my time here, but this week was roughhhhh to start, the people did not want to learn about Jesus Christ haha. But it was a good humbling process, i think what started to happen was we got a little prideful of the success we were seeing and we just needed a little humble check and a little reminder that everything we have accomplished is thanks to the Lord! So even though we didn't see a lot of success, it helped us become more humble and humility leads to success in life so vamo rejection!
Also I am officially started a cooking tv show! Basically this family of converts in our area, basically my 2nd family here, "los cracks" we call him, I've decided that every Thursday night, i'm gonna bake them one my favorite desserts, last Thursday night we made Brownies, added nuts on one side of it, and if you know Elder Clouse he LOVES his brownies, so its definitely been a fun expeience. This week we got pazookies sheeeshhhhh, so if anyone has some good dessert ideas hit me up.
Haha last story, so basically the area i'm in is NOTORIOUS for missionaries having problems with the leaders of the ward. And well yesterday we had Ward Counsil and we were invited to participate and wow, it was a battle royale out there. It was literally the 15 leaders versus us 4 missionaries. I'm not even kidding you they just basically ripped into us missionaries the entire time and then when we tried to respond they got upset, they basically are mad that we are baptizing and then they don't stay active, and we were trying to explain that half of the time we can't even control that, and that maybe if we got some help it would be easier, for example, we have a family that got baptized a YEAR ago and they go to church EVERY week and haven't got visited a single time by members, just missionaries. So ya safe to it was interesting. I didn't say a word haha I just listened but I kept getting the nasty eye from the relief society president haha. Then after they were like "but hey we just love you guys so much you guys are just the best" i'm like bruh i know you don't love me, a person feels love, i felt a lot of contention but hey, it is what it is, VAMOS EL CRUCE
But also just know we are soooo closeee to just breaking througggghhhh, we have like 4 people that could be baptized in the next 2 weeks, we just gotta help them resolve their doubts!!!! Pray for Rubì, Agustin, Ivana, y Mateo
