Elder Hunting Tanner: New Years Kisses!! Week 20

Happy New Years everyone! I hope you all made some good new years resolution. Mine is to lose some weight but let's see how that goes haha. I've also made some personal ones to work and study harder!

Skyping the fam was awesome! We had some trouble with the wifi and computers and stuff so that was stressful but everything turned out ok. We made an super good asado for dinner and watched the fireworks. I thought Christmas had a lot of fireworks but new years was even bigger! We drank sparkling cider on the roof and watched them. I even got a new years kiss! (we gave each other argentine cheek kisses hahaha) Sounds gayer than it was. We keep spending the holidays with the same family because they love us and make super good food. We had a bunch of empanadas and stuff on New Years with them.

As far as the work goes, it was really hard this week to have lessons with investigators. We found Diego (an investigator we couldn't find for a while) and had 2 lessons with him so that was good. So since none of our other investigators were answering or there, we visited some inactive members and had 9 lessons with different inactives! So that was really good. The spirit was super strong because they know the church is true already, they just need to endure to the end. My New Comp Elder Stover is a worker so i'm glad for that. We are a little different personality wise but we get to work! He knows about the same amount of spanish bas me so i'm definitely talking a lot more in the lessons and lunches with members and stuff than i used to. I feel like that's going to help me a lot!

It was super hot all week but then a storm came and it cooled down. We have had cold showers for the past month and a half so those are finally starting to feel good haha. I had to wake up twice in the middle of the night to soak my head and clothes in water and then go lay back down wet. But I always woke back up dry and hot.

I'm so thankful that i'm able to spend 2018 as a missionary! I know this church is true.. I feel the spirit so strong every time i teach. I love that i just get to dedicate the year 2018 to serving my savior Jesus Christ! Hope everyone has an amazing year! Love you all!
