[Week 10] MEXICO, PERU, HONDURAS: 3 great roomates who do not speak my language

This week has been nuts!  It turns out that after Elder Pertile left in a "flash" (or got transfered in an emergency transfer), the three other elders in the apartment left in a flash transfer too - the next day! O_O  I then found out that the three new Elders are ALL Latinos... I about soiled myself. hahaha! They are NUTS but I love them and my Spanish is growing way, way quicker now! :P
MY companion Elder Colindres is a total stud and really funny, and the other two elders are our Zone Leaders.  It's been interesting seeing how differently we see the world... and the mission rules! XD really tho, they are GREAT, and its quite the adventure living with three people who don't speak English.  I find myself at the end of several jokes 'cuz they know I don't understand lots of stuff, but its all good 'cuz they love telling jokes ...so I've just got to be a good sport and ensure I dish some back ;)  I have had a lot more time to study old talks from old Ensigns lately and it had actually really helped me out spiritually.  My testimony is way bigger and stronger and i intend o keep feeding it :)

also one of the Elders is himself McRap and so we are brothers from foreign lands, though we can't really understand each other's lines.XD  he is really funny though and wants to baptize like he wants to breath :P

I wish I could explain how things are here, but time and talents run short. Simply put, the minuscule experiences and views and sounds all combine to create a sort of commotion, which is very entertaining and very different than Cali.  Attitude determines how I view my experiences and Argentina in general so if I can master my own soul, and be the captain thereof, joy and hope and light can't help but follow. I am blessed to be here, and am striving to bless those who are here.  I look forward to Daniel's baptism tomorrow.  I am going to baptize him so it will be a new experience for sure but I am very excited. :)

Family I LOVE YOU AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT! XD  Friends and church members, if anybody actually reads these, I love you too and you have probably shaped my life in some way so that I am able to be here and do this. THANK YOU! May the Lord bless you all and may we always remember what truly matters in life, and leave the things of the World in the background.  AS we master our souls, there is nothing we cant overcome, but it MUST start with overcoming the natural man and our own wills and then following Christ. Therein lies all TRUE and LASTING joy, and that joy reaches into our past and future with amazing influence. We just got to remember to be grateful and do it ;)






 PS / side note:  I always take pics in super cheto [posh] areas where we go to remember them and it probably makes my mission look way nicer and richer and better than it is! XD  DANG IT! its hard ppl, i promise i'm suffering it sucks don't believe the rich photos!
