welll freaking freak ive been
in the country of argentina for 2 whoooole months! man does time flyyyy by and
man does time go by soooooo slow!!! haha its weird how it works out both ways
on a mission!
well i wish i could tell you
stories about people we were teaching or great spiritual experiences with
converts or baptisms but sadly i dont really have any because we dont really
have much right now.... haha so sorry about that!
so this week the heat started
to come on.... o baby girl i do not like the heat here!! BECAUSE ITS SO
FREAKING HUMID! haha it wasnt even that hot but i was sweatin like a pig!
and heres one thing that isnt good about heat.... so on my
mission im saying to myself ´´dont get fat... workout every morning so you can
have a rocking bod like your dad biggie´´ haha so i workout every morning and
do my legs workouts realllll nice and deeplike.
and because of that my legs
have gotten a lot bigger... not saying im like big or anything but my legs have
put on a little big more muscle... soooo therefore (i cant remember how to
spell that word, thats what spanish will do to ya) my pants are just a little
bit tighter!
soooo because my pants are
tighter and the heat has come on that means that i sweat just a little bit
more... which then means that my legs rub together just a little bit more...
which then means I AM FREAKING CHAFING!!! ooooo judiest its not good!! haha no
worries i have figured out some solutions and im doing just fine!
hahahah classic story... so my
comp is a little bit different than me to say the least... things that i think
are hilarious arent as funny to him..
for example. we were talking to this lady and sitting on
some chairs in her house... and all of a sudden her 6 year old little boy with
down syndrom comes running around the corner buttttt naked and is soaking
wett!!!! ooooo man i was DYING OF LAUGHTER!! my companion on the other hand....
WAS NOT LAUGHING AT ALL.... i literally thought he saw a ghost and pooped his
pants he didnt know what to do... haha classic.
this little naked down syndrom
boy was acting like he was some sumo wrestler or something! oooo man it was so
funny.
well here are some things that i realized this week.... the members who are strong in our branch are soooo strong.. they sacrifice so much time to be able to come to church. nobody really has cars and its a big time commitment to come to church on sundays...
i started to realize how much the church really means to
these people and how much i have taken the gospel for granted in my life.... my
house is a good 5 minute walk to the church and i was too lazy to even do
that... i just drove my truck to church! well here are some things that i realized this week.... the members who are strong in our branch are soooo strong.. they sacrifice so much time to be able to come to church. nobody really has cars and its a big time commitment to come to church on sundays...
ive realized a lot of things this past week... and i hope
you all can learn from it as well....
i realized that i took so many things for granted at home...
and mainly that was cherishing the moments with the people that i love the
most. i always realized that i loved my family and the other poeople that are
important in my life but you can never truly know that until they are taken
away from you.
i thought a lot about past trips, vacations, or other things that i have done in the past and i realized how blessed i have been... simple sunday dinners at home mean the world to me now that i dont have a sunday dinner with my family.... so i guess what im getting at is to take a look at what you really have in your life.. the blessings that the lord has given you.

there have been a lot of things
i have missed while being on my mission... but the things that i miss that
actually have a true meaning to me is the people that i love most in my life
that i dont have right now... i dont truly miss any of the materialistic things
like my electronics or car or anything like that... i miss the people that god
placed in my life.
so take the time to tell the
people that mean something to you that you simply love them and tell them why
you are thankful for them...
im thankful for my mission. i
cant express the things that i have learned out here. some things i have learned
in ways that havent been the most fun but i have learned things that have made
me into such a better person.
i hope all is good in the hood
of 801.... by the way you have no idea what a hood is like!! dont do
drugs and go to church... BECAUSE ITS ONLY DOWN THE ROAD FROM YOUR HOUSE! haha
love you all
