Elder Nixon in Rosario, Argentina: July 2018

July 9, 2018

Cumplicado

Well it´s another complicated week of emailing here in Argentina! Today is the Independence day of Argentina and everything is closed. I found one little ghetto internet cafe but it´s ugly. I can hardly use the computer. I´m convinced it´s just gonna give up on us any second.

Life as a ZL has been good. It´s basically the same as any other missionary but with a lot more phone calls. Also, I got to give a presentation this week with my comp who is the other ZL in our zone conference and it went super good.

I heard in church yesterday something I loved! ¨the best way to overcome your problems is to focus on the problems of others and help them out´ or at least that’s my translation of it. I have some problems in the life right now but hearing that really strengthened me. I´m going to put it into practice and just help everyone I see here in Argentina come to Jesus :) Well don´t look for another email with pictures cuz there is no way I’m sticking anything into this USB port. This computer is so filled with viruses and bugs it’s ridiculous. Vamos todavia argentina :)

other than that I spent the week working hard, doing splits with our district leaders and also with the aps which was a great experience. I love you all lots!

con amor,

Elder Nixon

I HAVE A MICROWAVE!!!

It´s been a great week. I love my new area. My old pension was basically a prison cell and my new one is HUGE and basically a house. I have a roof balcony and the coolest part is there´s an actual microwave! It´s a pretty big deal. I´m basically living it like a bigshot.

This week Elder Favila (my new comp from Washington) and I were searching for investigators and we entered a house where a Jehovah´s witness lives. We gave the Restoration to her and her family and the spirit was so strong. It was such a cool experience. She didn´t want to accept a baptismal date yet, but she really opened her mind to what we taught which is super rare cuz JWs are a pretty closed-minded bible bashing bunch usually for us.

Other than that we´re working lots with recent converts here. They´ve had tons of baptisms in this ward recently so we´re gonna help them stay active and at the same time find lots more people to enter the water :)))

Love you all lots

Elder Nixon

Transfers

I don’t have much time to write today cuz the whole country here went on strike today so the four missionaries of our ward are sharing this one computer. So, I´ll be brief. I have to leave my son here in Las Delicias and I’m getting sent to another part of the city, Azcuenaga. There I will have the great opportunity to be a zone leader. I’m excited for the opportunity to serve in this manner!

con amor,
