Mission Council Hey fam!!! How's everyone doing!?  Lots happened this week jaja We taught a ton of lessons, found a lot of people and we were able to prepare the fields for rain!! It's gonna be a white christmas in pergamino, lots of white baptismal clothing:) But... I recently got transfer calls and they told me that my mission in Pergamino had been completed and that they had another place for me now... and I am in Rosario again!! jaja it's been a long while since I've walked these streets. It's good to be back jaja I've been assigned to work in the zone of Azcuenega, the west side of rosario... kind of sketchy... but I'd already gone on a few splits here and so I know the area! It's a super good ward and they are working hard it seems. It's crazy how fast the time is passing by, and I just feel so grateful to be here serving. Soo much to do, so little time to do it, but I'm focused and willing. I've been contemplating a lot late...

MVI_2813.MOV   Well, Thanks you all so much for your letters and pictures!! I'm glad that the trip to Vernon was a nice one, even if it was for a funeral... I was emotional watching the video of dad and his siblings... I could feel the love that they all have for each other and for Grampa. I hope we as a family can become closer and not part even more... Because we need to be even more supportive,  loving and compassionate in these times... but we should make it a habit to not let too much time pass to get together. family is so important. I hope you all know that I love you guys soo much, and am praying for all of you.  This week was a different week for me... Struggled a bunch in a lot of areas... but I'm feeling better now.  President called me and we were able to talk for a little while on tuesday after a hard day and a half after the news. But anyways I don't want to dwell on it anymore, because we know that he is with Gramma :)  This wee...

Elder Hubbard said: "My watch finally saw its last day...the face still works though...just the strap is broken. Pictures of an Asado and Alexis and his whole family This weeks letter was written in Spanish but the google translation follows: Bueno... realmente no sé que decir... fue un golpe grande al escuchar que Mi Abuelo Hubbard falleció... Siempre voy a recordar un hombre que dio todo lo que tenia en cada cosa que tenia que hacer. A mi me enseñó muchas cosas, y estoy siempre agradecido por la vida que vivió y por su fuerza y humildad ante el señor. Aun cuando hemos descarriado del camino del Señor Dios nos llama y nos invite a volver, y abuelo Al es fue un ejemplo verdadero del arrepentimiento sincero y de amor hacia su familia. le voy a recordar por sus varias talentos que tenia incluso como atleta y guitarrista, pero mas por ser un buen esposo, padre, y abuelo y un ejemplo para todos de nunca hay que rendirse o bajar los brazos. Amo mi Abuelo Alan! Es/era un ...

Hey Fam!!!! Can't believe that we are already more than half way through november... crazy how fast all the time is flying haha I'm still in my Area!! Happy, healthy, and ready to keep on keeping on! The work is so gratifying and fulfilling... I was just thinking the other day as were walking in the hot sun talking to people and thinking about every tender mercy that My heavenly father has shown me throughout the mission. And how everything I've done, seen, and will see and do, it's thanks to him. Everything testifies of the existence of a supreme father in heaven, and that he has soo much love for all of his children. I think that's the biggest challenge here with the people. Is trusting in a heavenly father in everything. Everyone here gets soo down and angry when something difficult happens and the first thing that everyone does is blame God... And it makes me sad... because we have such an important message but if they are too angry to listen to us, th...
