It is currently 3:47 AM as we wait for a taxi to take us to the bus terminal. Time ticks as we anxiously wait to see if we will have to take a midnight run. I hope not cuz I wont survive if I run Im pretty sure im not gonna arrive...yeah its early, if youre not understanding its ok cuz Im not either. Anyways, we got confirmaction, a taxi is coming. Anyways, how yall doing? Hope youre doing great but my week was super good but also we didnt work too much cuz of travels and stuff but yeah it was interesting so I guess we can dive right in.
Mission Impossible
So usually the day before the Mission Leadership Conference, my companion and I head to Resistencia the day before so we actually get there on time but in the morning we had to get some stuff from the mission for our apartment so we got a automatic washer finally and some desks to study and some new mattresses (after 5 months of being here) but then we headed over to the other Elder's apartment to catch a ride with the person dropping off the stuff (we also checked out a SUPER nice apartment for the new marriage couple coming in) and then we dropped off stuff in one aparment and went to the last one where we had to pick up an Elder going home and so we got there like 11:15 and he was still packing and we had the bus ride at 11:45 so we try to rush him and the time goes by and its 11:45 already and I called the office saying we werent gonna make it but then the Tom Cruise in me came out and said...but we gonna try...so I rush everyone into the truck and Presi Ramirez floors in and we are going 100 mph in the middle of the city, cutting off old ladies and almost killing at least 3 people, and then we are arriving to the terminal as we see the bus leaving so Presi just zooms and slides in front of the bus to stop it and we got out as Im screaming "VAMOS VAMOS VAMOS" and then boom we on the bus but sadly I robbed two sweaters in my rush that werent mine...but yeah...mission impossible completed.
Elders Elison, Esmond y MLC
Ok so we get to Resi and we are hungry to we go eat out at Bacanal again and get back and I got to see 2 of my best friends in da mission Elderes Elison y Esmond and so we gotta hang out all day. But anyways, we planned our training for the next monday (today) with the HLCs and then we had a little call with our friend Williams (who we had to stop teaching this week sadly) and then we went and bought some ice cream, oh I also had a bad stomach ache again but I think it was the aftermath from my last time get food poisoning but its fine. Then Elder Elison, Esmond, Camacho y Suarez and Hnad Stahl y Wyatt (shoutout to my district from CCM, rip the hnas) all of us went to Bacanal again and had such a good time. Then the next morning we played basketball which was lit and then we had MLC, not much to report from that other than it was most likely my last one but then we finally got back to our home to our area at night...a long vacation ajaja but I like staying in my area to work
Getting an Argentina Fired
Ok so on the bus ride home from MLC, we had to take Elder Austin with us to replace the Elder who went home and he had all his luggage and a common theme here is that when we put our luggage on the bus they charge us for no reason, so anyway this guy putting up luggage asks for 400 pesos and I said, sorry man I only got 100 but then he demands 400 but I said...what do you want me to do I got 100 thats it. So he tells me to put it up myself and it was heavy but I did it and about 5 minutes later when Im getting on the bus he comes up to me and starts cussing me out and says they fired him so I just said perdon and got on the bus and the entire bus was staring at me so rip. I guess its a once in a lifetime opportunity, only in Argentina
Stella (Estelia)
NUESTRA AMIGA STELLA SE BAUTIZÓ! (OUR FRIEND ESTELIA GOR BAPTIZED) I found our Ive been spelling her name wrong so I got the entire ward spelling her name wrong and so the cake for her baptism also came out wrong...but shes italian and says her name weird so thats why I thought you spelled it a different way cuz Stella in spanish would make a estesha sound o estela but anyway...she got baptized! She was so excited and so happy to get baptized. Ive never seen anyone so happy to find the right church and she even bore her testimony on sunday about how she found the truth. God works through weak people for his great purposes. I know Im weak but if I hadnt tried my best, Stella wouldnt be a member today. Our best is never enough but with the Saviors help, our best becomes sufficient.
Anyways, that was basically the week! It was a pretty good week and Im having a great time with my companion and in this area. Ill for sure be sad to leave but I will be so grateful for this place and what I learned and the missionary I became. Jesus Christ lives and died and suffered so we can bear our burdens with patience.
Love yall! Elder Nelson
