It was super fun, and spiritual, and I learned alot haha  the doors were opened at 5 in the afternoon, and in the morning all the missionaries in our zone came and helped proselyte in our areas, to bring the maximum people possible to the church to learn about it and to take the tour.  I was with Elder Yañez again haha my favorite chileano (de chile)  We were tasked with staying in the park all morning with a table and ...

Week 27 Roldan Argentina

Hola mi querido familia :)   Gracias por todas sus cartas, amor, y apoyo! Siento muy bien ahora y estoy animado para trabajar mas y mas!!  This last week was very spiritual! It had it`s ups and downs, but it ended really good!! Por suerte :)  We started off the week, by having our district meeting! It was my turn to conduct the meeting because Elder Gutierrez thinks I`m going to be the district leader in the next transfer haha He thinks that he is going to leave and I`m going to train a new missionary.... hahah We`ll see what happens in 3 weeks... Pero bueno :) The meeting went really well! We talked and learned about how we can plan and organize our time better!! sometimes it`s kinda boring, but I`ve changed my attitude about planning and realize that If we don`t use our time wisely in the mission or in our normal lives, it is hard to be led by the spirit, we can`t progress at the speed that we want. We need to be dilligent and be organized!!!! Hahaha ...

Elder Hubbard's new companion,  Elder Gutierrez from Buenos Aires, Argentina Hola mi Padre :) Wow this week was crazy como re loco!!! :) pero fue muy bueno en la verdad!! I got transfered yesterday...  I left the big city of Rosario, and found my way to a pueblito that has about more or less than 20 thousand people... compared to the city of 3 million... it was a big change after 6 months in one area haha. But it`s like we're in the city still because our area is the whole town... we are responsible for the teaching of 20, 000 people more or less haha that's a lot of people, when you don`t have a church in the town that you are trying to proselyte in... here they have a Catholic church that is huge and almost everyone goes to, or professes that they are catholic, but the truth is, is that there are very few that are praticante we say here. Today was my second day here in Roldàn, It`s a little town that has one bus that we always take to go to the ch...
