WOW - Cosquin

WHAT A GREAT WEEK I TELL YOU WHAT!

K so I'm not gonna lie, coming here with nobody already interested isn't the easiest, BUT. I've learned so much. It's helped me look at every single person as someone with the potential to listen to and progress in the Gospel. I love sharing the Gospel. Especially in a place as pretty as Cosquín.

This week has also been one of the biggest in my personal progression. I've come to understand a lot more about what our purpose in being here on Earth is, and what we need to do to achieve that goal. I got to give a talk my first Sunday here to the branch, and I talked about how God's goal for us is to progress and become like Him. We can only do that by accepting Christ as our Savior, repenting, and making decisions that align our will with His. I've studied a lot about humility, diligence, and the plan of happiness, and I'm hyped up with a fire to complete my duty in the mission and my life. Everyone read the scriptures and get to know your friend and Savior.

Love you

bye bye Lamadrid, Hello Cosquin

WOWZA!!! Crazy stuff. As the title indicates, I got transferred! I was so sure that I was going to stay in my old area General Lamadrid for another transfer with my companion, so I didn't even think about saying bye to anyone or packing bags, nothing. Not even in the back of my mind. 

But alas, on Saturday we got the call that I'd be leaving Lamadrid to go to Cosquin! I was in the same zone as Cosquin before, so I've already visited it and it is SO PRETTY. Probably the prettiest place in the mission. Also, they're bumping up the number of missionaries in the area from 2 to 4, so my new companion (Elder Vidal from Chile) and I will be starting from scratch finding people to teach! I'm really really excited.

It was really sad saying goodbye to all the families I know, it felt weird because my 3 months in Lamadrid passed by really fast. Hopefully I'll get the chance to go back and visit sometime. 

I'm sure I'll have a lot to tell next week, but today I don't have too much time because I need to move in all my stuff! Have a great week, talk to you later!
