Whats up fam! Todo Tranqui? This week went by so fast. The days are long but the weeks fly by. Unfortunately we didn't get to work as much as we would have liked this week, but we still got another fecha! We had to go to Mar Del Plata North 5 times (i'm in south) which is like an hour away each way. We had to clean it twice, before and after the conference, and we went to hear elder packer speak one night and President Cifuentes. President wants us at 10 baptism dates constantly and so we are trying to hit that number. We are at 7 right now! (which is pretty good for this mission).
Like i said in the last email, Elder Alan Packer came this week. It´s Elder Boyd K Packer's Son. He was so amazing! So before the meeting, we lined up and all shook his hand. When he shook my hand, and saw my name tag he said “Elder Tanner we need to take a picture together after the meeting. Elder Bragg told me to find you and take a picture with you”. This was super cool because 1 i wasn't expecting it, and 2 we weren't allowed to bring our cameras to take pics with him because it would take too long, and 3 its funny that Elder Bragg asked him to do that. And then at lunch time he came up to me again and said “Elder tanner don't forget we have to take that picture”. All the elders were like what the heck how do you know the Packers. It was sweet. Buuuuuut here's the bummer part. I didn't get the pic because he went in a super long meeting with president, and when I was waiting everyone was leaving because our taxi came. So i had to go. So me and Sister Packer were talking and she said “i guess i will just have to take a picture of you alone then”. I was bummed but it's alright. Let me know if you got the pic haha.
Elder packer challenged us to 1 baptism a week. He said it's going to be really hard, but he knows it's possible. He said “what are you guys going to change, or improve to reach this goal”. I'm so excited to start working as hard as I can to accomplish this.
I'm going to bahia for a week (leaving today) to get my Argentine ID. I'm going on the 8 hour bus ride alone haha. i don't know if i know enough spanish to get by but i guess we'll find out. I'll keep you updated, it should be interesting.
Funny stories kinda. Me and Elder anderson (he's newer too) went to go buy some milanesas to cook. And the lady asked me something and i couldn't hear. So i had no idea what she said. And i look at him and he just turns around and acts like he didn't hear it because we both didn't understand. i was in a pickle. So we just went to another milanesa place. Also we tried to make brownies but it turned out to be a super good and thick chocolate cake. With a dulce de leche frosting we made.
Guys the church is so true. I know it. If it wasn't i wouldn't still be here. Working is only super fun because we know what we are teaching is true, and can bless people's lives. The Book of Mormon can bring so much happiness into someone's day, no matter how bad of a day they are having. Love you guys so much! Thank you for all ur prayers and support!
