Whats up yall! Im sorry, Im lazy and havent sent an email out in a while...but my companion is sick so I have time to write one so thats epic. Well not the part about him being sick, he's been getting destroyed by sickness. We dont know if its the 100°+ heat or what but yeah. A lot of pretty fun stuff has happened so Ill give some good bullet points.
1st Off...HAPPY EASTER
Im super grateful for the mission because I have actually come to love my Savior Jesus Christ and what he did for me. Without him I would be probably very lost in Mongolia or something (sorry Mats) but for real he's helped me know that its possible thanks to his Atonement. I suffer from an extreme version of perfectionism so its been really hard trying to accept I cant be perfect but thanks to Jesus, I can be cleaned of my sins and shortcomings (and there's a lot of those). So this Easter was super spiritual and special to me. Its why we are here in Argentina sacrificing so much, to help others know that the Lord's church is on the earth and we represent it and can find healing and help through his true church. So yeah its great to be a missionary
Epic Exchanges
So I had some pretty fun exchanges with some super cool missionaries. Elder Stock (who lived in Qatar and drove lamborginis and even watched Argentina win the world cup in person) was super dope and we had a really good time and I even got to eat dino nuggets for the 1st time in 2 years. Then I went with Elder Hair and that was fun, its crazy so be with such young missionaries.
Macanas
Yeah some interesting stuff happened...1st of all, Im going to Buenos Aires (BA) this week cuz my wonderful companion lost his passport (what a good friend) so we have been doing some stuff with that lately and we are gonna take a lovely vacation together. And then Elder Esmond (mi amorcito) thinks its really funny to say we are from Tucuman because its the Wyoming of Argentina and no one is gonna say they are from Tucuman unless they really are so a lot of people believe him at 1st. But one day we were walking and a random dude that we had never seen before drives by and shouts "YO WHATS UP TUCUMANOS" (people from Tucuman) we have no idea where that came from and we died laughing. Ok next story, we have a dope member named Jimena and she one day said hi to us by saying "hola po" which is a Chilean way to say hi so my boy Esmond says "La Chilena Jime!" And lets just say I died laughing cuz he tried to say Jimena the chilena but lets say it came out wrong...only spanish speakers will understand what it means but its not very missionary like to say that especially to a member so he got rather red faced. We also played a scary escape room last pday and I about died but it was fun.
We are trying really hard to help people progress and its getting really hard but we are trusting in the Lord that everything will turn out how he wants. We are just gonna make our best efforts to get there. We have a friend named Jorge whos super dope and 6' 6" 300 pounds (hes massive) and we hope he progresses but Satan is hounding him hard. We are also helping someone get over a Cocaine addiction and are hoping a little kid comes to church 2 more times. Miracles coming soon...
Also, I got absolutely destroyed by the old Patriarch cause I made a joke in class and then he asked me where my wife and kids were and when I said I didnt have any, he said..."well then you shouldnt give your input" so yeah...some good motivation to keep working hard!
Love yall! Jesus does too! Elder Nelson
