Still grinding 12/4/2018

family and friends whats up its offically december and my hottest december of my life haha and its only supposed to get hotter blessings of argentina. haha so this week was loads better i finally started to settle in and get used to stuff here. so we taught a good chunk of investigators this week and got 6 to commit to come to church and five commited to baptism!!! awesome right? psych not a single one of them came to church and so in sacrament there was about 10 people including me my comp and the whole presidency haha so its super small here we talked to the investigators and they all said they were just asleep the culture here is incredibly lazy they arent really motivated for anything so this makes it frustrating and a little hard some times but the people are awesome during lessons i freaking love teaching its my favorite thing to just watch peoples eyes during the lesson and see the change ive only been here for 2 weeks but holy i love everyone they are just so funny and loving once you get past their borders so next i wanna ask you guys to send my companion some love and maybe send him an email he is almost headed home and doesnt have many people to write but hes been through some crazy stuff out on the mish that i dont think i could do so if you could do that it would be awesome . the bugs here are still crazy especially the grasshoppers they are huge they look like birds when they fly around. we had a district meeting so four other elders came to our apartment to have the meeting we made an asada just a bunch of steak cooked on a grill and it was pretty bomb haha. we have to wash our clothes by hand here and that is kinda the shaft it takes about an hour and a half to do then they gotta dry in the sun so still trying to  become super humble here. so the book of mormon is quite amazing i encourage everyone to start or keep reading it i have found a huge love for reading it which is crazy cause i hate reading but seriously it is the greatest book there is so much in every verse so much wisdom to help in life and i promise everything is easier in this gospel it seems hard at the beginning but seeing life without the gospel and seeing people break down crying because their mom died and they are 16 years old and have no idea what to do and think this is the end i feel so blessed to be able to be the one to bring that happiness back into their life and since its christmas season i want to encourage everyone to spread their joy with as many people as possible its crazy how the smallest things can affect peoples lives. also i want to ask everyone to be super gratefull this navidad i know i was bad at this but we have so many things we take for granted in the states especially during christmas time the people here start to cry out of joy when they know they will have a loaf of bread on christmas morning let alone gifts its so crazy for me to see that here so just wanted to share that with you all and i know you all already do this everyday and i love that in each one of you so much. i wanna end with a quote by joseph smith after all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the gospel haha thats amazing im so crazy lucky to be out here. 

love you all hope you have the best week and are getting super excited for christmas 

love elder singley
