im still out here in argentina in quarantine like ive been for 7 days now.
it was super hard news to hear that we would be getting sent home in the following weeks.
it made me feel sick to my stomach thinking about leaving argentina right now.
i love this place with all my heart and the people even more the things that i have learned from argentina and its people cant be counted.
i am incredibly gratefull for this chance i had to serve out here it really is a short time especially when it gets cut to 19 months haha. This place has a very big part of my heart. at the beginning of my mission i would sometimes complain about the small things in argentina that bothered me or i didnt like and she always said the same thing that one day i would grow to love those things more than anything else. mom was right i love how close argentines are with one another how they are so friendly even to strangers. They are very competetive and sometimes pridefull those who know me are probably thinking so then you fit right in haha and the answer is most of the time yes but i have only learned good things from these people they have taught me life lessons that are priceless. i cant express all the love i have for this experience place and people but know that it holds a special place for me.
from what i have been told i will not be able to be reassigned to a state side mission which makes sad but also very gratefull for the time that i have had to serve the lord and his children. i always listened to many people say that they knew christ personally and that they had a relationship with him as if it were with a friend. This bothered me always to hear because i never felt like i had that relationship but here in the mission of course i found the classic verse that says when you are in the service of your fellow man you are only in the service of god. Through that scripture i gained the motivation to serve so that i too could testify of my relationship of christ. now is that moment that he knows me more than anyone he has always accepted me and always will. i love him with all my heart and i just want to keep progressing to get closer to him and my heavenly father. i have found many new hobbies in the mission one is teaching i love it.
in closing id like to thank all those who have supported me through this journey those thinking about missions at this time i know it seems harder to do with all the virus stuff but serve i know everyone says its the best and thats because it really is the best and i can testify 100 that there is no greater joy than serving gods children i love this work and i love my argentina te prometo de volver pronto.
love all you guys and see you soon
