La re apostacia

 It was a great week people. Lots of walking and contacting. 

For my birthday we went to an all you can eat buffet. It was a lot like the ones in the states-overpriced and a sacrifice of quality for quantity but we had two districts there (16) elders so it was lots of fun. After lunch, we went to visit the Flag monument in the city. It´s pretty much the only thing touristy in Rosario. It´s got a real baby Empire State Building mixed with the Lincoln Memorial vibe. If you look it up online, you'll see what I mean. It was a ton of fun and really pretty to look out over my entire city here. The best part of my day though was a lesson we had in the afternoon with a contact in the streets. Or I take that back. It could have been seeing my best buddy Connor got his mission call to MEXICO and we´re gonna be able to speak in Spanish and I´m just really proud to be his friend cuz if you don´t know him, he's a straight stud. 

This week I also finished 6 months in the mission. Time flies people and if I`ve learned anything in that time is that we can´t afford to live with regrets. Make the most of every minute God has given you in every situation.

We met a man this week who is actually a member of the church but super inactive. He sat us down and literally 20 minutes straight spit false doctrine in our faces. After that my comp stood up and called him to repentance to which he stood up and promptly kicked us out of his house. It was actually a really sad experience. This man´s problem was he thought truth could be interpreted. What God has said is truth and truth never changes people. We cannot and should not change God to fit Man. We as humans must change to fit what God has set forth. 

I love you all so much!

One foto is our district and zone leaders and president in a district meeting this week. The other is me inside the memorial trying to get a good selfie :) And the last is how missionaries celebrate birthdays- taking obnoxious photos in children's ball pits.
