1 year since XXXTentacion (music artist) died

Image
The 18th of June was the one year mark for my boy XXX! I loved that man and he helped and changed my life so much! If you guys knew me before the mission I would listen to this man 24 9. He was a great artist and died at such an early age! His songs helped me become a better person! RIP buddy. I hope you're kicking it with JC right now. This week was a good first full week with my new comp Elder Paderes. We are just grinding! We are finding more people now than with my other comp and using our time better! I am learning how to contact and speak better Spanish because I have to speak Spanish with this man! He's is from Colombia and loves soccer! So we get along great! It just sucks though because his mission ends in 4 weeks. I think we will get a lot done in this change!  He was zone leader for 8 changes before me so he is teaching me a lot and making me a better missionary!  I thought going halfway across the world would get me away from judgmental people but n...

Training Complete / New Comp!

YEW I finished my training and got a new comp! So this week was dope!!!! I had a really good lesson with Nico and I think we will give him a new baptism date this week! I'm pumped for this change and have high goals! My new comp is from Colombia and knows barely any English, so I am ready for this adventure! I can't wait to see all the good work we can do together.  It's crazy speaking Spanish  24_9!  I like it a lot and this kid is a workhorse which I love!!!!  I have aways loved working hard from the time I turned 13.  Those days of carrying my lawn mower on the back of my bike helped me appreciate hard work.  So, even if I have a lazy comp I will carry them by working hard and going hard 100 percent of the time.  My new comp's name is Elder Pareder which means wall in Spanish. hahaha Nah but he's cool and loves soccer!  This is his last change in the mission so I'm going to work hard to make sure he doesn't think a lot about going h...

Yew what up boys! How's life back in the States?  I miss that place so freaking much! I just want to give a huge shout out to the military and our veterans out there who have served our country. They are bad a$$ and ! will forever be thankful to them for protecting America and keeping it so sexy! I hope my family is having fun in Lake Powell this week while I'm out here in Chile with dogs trying to bite me and stepping in dog poop on the side walk 24-9. hahahah This week was a banger! We had so many lessons with recent converts and less active people in the ward.  We also went to the temple with two recent converts to do baptisms for the dead -so that was cool to see them get pitted for their ancestors!  I was meditating the other day and remembered how the boys and I would have the best talks ever on the ski chair lifts. I miss those 10 minute talks with some of my best friends that I trust with all my life....then to go rip the freaking shizzzz out of some d...

This week was dope!  I had a great week and it rained here a freak ton! It was awesome!!!! Also, Elder Layton and I were walking and this transformer blew up right in front of us.  It was scary and loud and the sparks went everywhere!  We had a lesson with a man that we hadn't seen for 3 months.  It was crazy and he was smoking pot right in front of us.  It was ok because we hadn't seen this guy in like 3 months and we thought he killed himself so we were just happy to see him hahah! My comp was a little scared, but I calmed him down!  On Wednesday we had the Area  President for all of South America come and talk to us.  His name is Elder De Hoyos.  He is super cool and from Mexico! He talked a lot about how to better contact people in the streets and find people to teach! I had a crazy family home evening with a non member that we have been teaching for 3 weeks and his buddy who is less active! It was at this crazy old lady's ho...
