Done with MTC!

 August 26, 2020

Welp my last day of online training was on Saturday! Crazy that those 6 weeks really went by so fast. I had a blast with my district and the teachers. They're all super epic and it was sad when we had to say goodbye. I wish them the best in their reassignments and hopefully sooner or later i'll see some of them in  Argentina! 
I learned a lot in the MTC, I felt pretty ok with Spanish but everytime the teacher says something it sounds like they're speaking at light speed haha. But I felt like I learned a lot of spanish and I feel comfortable with it. I learned a lot of Gospel related lessons as well. It's cool being a missionary cause it's like I'm here on Earth but at the same time I'm not. My friends sometimes tell me stuff about what is going on and it's like woah dude I've only been away for 6 weeks how did I not hear about that? I personally love it though, it gives me a chance to breathe and get away from all the chaos going on. 
Anyways the MTC is super epic! If any of you are debating whether or not to serve a mission I'd tell you to do it! Online MTC sounded like a bummer at first, but it sure did exceed expectations. When I first went in I felt like I wasn't gonna be good enough and I was scared that some people in my district were gonna be way ahead of me in spanish or way more spiritual than me, but very quickly into it I realized that we were all in the same boat. Nobody was a perfect spanish speaker nor was anyone a prophet. Although my district has amazing testimonies! We call ourselves the "Goat District" cause we're pretty much the best bunch of guys and gals ever (saying that humbly of course). It was cool to grow alongside people and help them to be better versions of themselves. They've helped me so much and I'm grateful for them. 
My next stop is in Mesa! I don't leave till September 8th so I have a little bit of time. I basically study spanish and read books and chill. Not the most exciting thing ever but I'm excited to go out and work. Thanks to all of you for your love and support! Can't wait to hear from you! Take care

 Monday October 12, 2020 Hello everyone! How's it goin? Everything here in Mesa is going well. This week went by really quick and I can't remember everything that happened. I'll start off with our "amigos". I'm pretty sure I've already told you guys about Martha and how we have her on date for baptism. Basically she is still going strong and we don't need to do much with her other than just meet with her every other day to keep her on track. We just go over a few simple things every now and then. Then with Gerardo he is still iffy. He still hasn't accepted baptism, but he's getting closer. We're teaching him the commandments to let him know what exactly he needs to keep and also we're bringing members from our branch to make friends with him so that he is more comfortable. He is still going good he just is taking longer than we expected.  Also another cool thing is now we're allowed to go street contacting! We are allowed to knock o...

 Monday January 18, 2021 Hello everyone!! I hope your week is going great! My week has been fabulous. The Vargas family that randomly came to Church last week are doing great! We had 2 lessons with them this week and they are so eager to learn! They read the Book of Mormon a lot and are so prepared. They have a few Word of Wisdom problems but I don't think they will have any trouble with that. They also have told us that they are planning on getting married, but they want it to be a memorable event so they want to plan well. They are so ready to partake in this gospel and it's actually crazy. They basically are members already. They are the nicest and most sincere people you will ever meet.  Another miracle happened this week!! Another non member just walked into Church!! It's actually crazy the miracles and blessings God is giving us here. So yesterday we had dinner with a family, and the non member that walked into church was there!! He is the Boyfriend of the daughter. W...
