Week 6

Week 6

Holy wow that was such an amazing start to my mission. Here's some highlights from my last week here at the CCM:
-I never thought this would happen as a missionary, but we basically had a mosh pit while celebrating Mexico independence day
-I wove a basket out of leaves with Elder Weaver
-I showed my casa (house) my magic tricks and they were freaking out

So September 16th is the day of independence for Mexico so to celebrate they brought a mariachi band for dinner to play for us which was so sick. Then they told us to go to the gym at 9 to do a cheer or something. So we head there at 9 and most all the missionaries are in the small echoy gym streaming their heads off. Then the presidency calms us down and we cheer some more then he says he's gonna say some things and we're gonna scream "VIVA MEXICO". So he would say some stuff and we would scream it, then he'd say some more stuff and we would scream again and again until all the missionaries were just screaming VIVA MEXICO over and over and we all basically started moshing while screaming that and it was so much fun.

Then on Saturday night I think, we were chillen in my room talking to some other guys in my house and I showed them a magic trick. After I finished, they kinda freaked out and then some more Elders in my house heard them and came in to see. So I showed them and they freaked out and then more Elders came in. And so on until my entire house of like 25 Elders is in my room watching me do some of my magic tricks and they were all freaking out. It was so cool.

It is really weird to not be in the CCM right now and to know that I'm not going back. I've had so many memories there that I won't ever forget. My district was honestly such a blessing and I've gotten so close with every single one of them over the course of my time there and I've loved getting to know them. 

I'm currently on an airplane to Buenos Aires in Argentina, where it'll just be a few more hours until I'm in Resistencia. That is really weird to say.

Tomorrow marks the first day of the rest of my mission so right now is when the biggest changes will happen. I'm excited to see what God has in store for me in Argentina.

Spiritual thought:
I don't remember who but someone in my district gave a great description of how to picture the trinity of the God head and I loved how they said it. If you're having trouble picturing how the trinity works, then






look at it like this, when we pray and Heavenly Father answers our prayer, he answers it while standing in front of us. When Jesus answers our prayers, he answers them while standing right beside us. And when the Holy Ghost answers our prayers, he answers them by dwelling in us and telling us the truth. Heavenly Father stands in front of us, Jesus right beside us, and the Holy Ghost dwells in us. 

I love and miss you all so much. In my email next week I'll be telling y'all about my first week in the field so that's kinda crazy.

Peace ✌️

 Week 18  They can fly December 9, 2024 What's up y'all. Elder Baldwin leaves in 3 days so starting this week I'm officially out of my training which is so crazy. Here are the highlights that I can remember from this week: -Guys the cockroaches in my apartment have learned to fly -Shout out to the Ellen Show for being fricken cracked at basketball  -I got the living freaking daylights scared out of me by a dog -Elder Baldwin broke 3 plates -We got a mini Christmas tree -We had the funniest encounter with this random dude on the street We were walking down a sidewalk that we go down a lot and it goes right by these houses and while we were walking by this massive pit bull like tried to jump through the fence like 2 inches away from my face and I genuinely was ready to die in that moment. So we run into this dude that's trying to sell us some stuff so we're kind of just trying to brush him off, then he starts asking us questions about like where we're from and why...

Highlights: -Aliens do in fact exist  -I made torta fritas for my district, and it was rough because they were explaining to  me  how to make them in Spanish and I had no idea what they were saying.  -Argentine Mother's day was yesterday so Happy Mother's day mom OK, the reason that I say aliens exist is because I heard a really weird noise in the sky, meaning it's got to be aliens We had a meeting with our district last  week  and my comp, Elder Baldwin, had us make this scone thing, called torta fritas I think, for the lesson. The whole thing was in Spanish tho so I don't really have any idea what's happening. Then he looks at  me  and asks something so I just say sí, and apparently he asked  me  if I wanted to be the one to cook them so I accide...
