All I want for Christmas is air conditioning 12/11/2018

Hey everybody whats up it is week four out here in argentina and holy cow is it hot i figured coming from utah i would be a little bit accustomed to the heat well psych haha its technically still spring here and we are hitting up in the 90s these past couple days so its been crazy hot i already have some crazy good tan lines from my white shirts haha so that will be solid when i get back. tambien after walking around in the sun all day we go back to our house with no ac haha and it sucks we have an attic apartment and so it is literally blazing hot all the time so sleeping these past couple nights has been pretty much limited to a few hours each night so this week i was very physically and spiritually drained but last night i was pretty done with the heat so i called an ice cream store and 1 am and ordered a quart of ice cream hahaha and i ate it all that night and it was freaking delicious haha but probably not the healthiest. 

 So this week with investigators we are super close with three people two people from before i came here and then the girl i found named joana shes a stud and was definetly prepared for the gospel and me and my companion are seeing blessings left and right which is super awesome to start seeing our work paying off one thing that is pretty frustrating here with the people is the law of chastity and the word of wisdom i would say we teach these lessons at least twice a day everyday of the week haha pretty much everyone has a problem with these and for a couple to be baptized they have to be married and here marriage is not a thing haha its super expensive and they have to travel about 5 hours do get certified so its really hard for people to except this need but they are starting to see the importance and how it will bless their family which is awesome 

  ive gotten a ton of emails about other missionaries leaving and heading out which is so sick we are the army of helamen and we are bringing the world his truth

  so the highlight of this week was we got to travel about 2 hours up into the mountains of argentina to do some service all day. but it was at this man made lake thing a couple rich argentines had built for swimming and boating haha its super sick its literally in the middle of the jungle and they just irrigated all the creeks around to flow into this lake so it was super sick and we just got to help them prepare it so they could open in the summer for people to come swim and boat so that was super rad and im definetly going back after my mission to go swimming there haha the temptation was incredibly strong to swim that day haha but we stayed strong and settled with dunking our heads in the water.

     it seems so strange that christmas is right around the corner it doesnt feel like that at all here especially with the heat but here they dont decorate their houses or put up trees or anything so its just kinda strange pretty much the only thing that changes around here are the coke labels hahaha.

     we got to do our ward christmas dinner this week which was pretty fun we have a very small ward of about 20 people so it was small but fun so me and my comp showed up to the dinner after a long day of work super ready for some food but it turns out here ward dinners are basically you just bring food for your family and same with plates glasses and silverware so we just sat at our table without anything haha it was hilarious and old sister took pitty on us and gave us each a plate and some rice so that was super kind of her but yes that was our ward christmas dinner haha just a little different than utah.

    i love you all hope you are having the best christmas season i hope the snow is killer for some awesome snowboarding and hope you all spending time with your families cause being away on christmas kinda sucks haha but im defenetly beginning to fall in love with the grind here so cant complain love you all hope you have the best week.

also p.s. i am now more than 2 months into the mission not that im counting or anything but holy cow time flys 22 months more
