Invierno pero mal 5/28/2019

so this week was crazy cold haha hit us like a brick my comp is from el salvador and its only tropical there so he hates the cold and i thought being from utah and all i figured i would be able to stand the cold but psych after 10 months of straight summer im dying it was like 55 degrees the other day and i left with a jacket scarf and gloves hahah so im pretty wimpy now.

This week we continued teaching daniela and her familia and they are getting super close to the baptism stage so pray for them.

We had intercambios with my zone liders again which was pretty fun i went with and elder who goes home in 2 weeks so it was good to work with someone with a ton of experience.

Then we hit up the temple this morning and it was awesome i love the temple and cant believe how lucky we are in utah to have to so many temples so close we need to take advantage of them everyday possible i wish i could go more but we need to follow the example of christ and press foreward with the work on the other side they are way too many people waiting for this ordenazas.

thats all for this week love you guys and hope you all have an amazing week.

Hey everyone sorry dont hae too much time this week again.

So this week we have been a ful with our investigadores and trying to get everyone to progresos but our church is Just a house and its really small and kinda ugly inside so this week me and Vázquez after cleaning the church saturday we decide to renovate a little we replaced Brown paper covered walls with some White cloth we bought at a catholic store and then put UP some picture we got from the church website. Then for the hymms we always sing without music so we took my Bluetooth speaker and downloaded all the hymms and then sunday came and it was awesome the church was still ugly but fully of the spirit and helped me realize that the looks of our church dont really matter people can always feel something different with us and thats always we need the spirit never fails.

Alright thats kinda all i have for this week love you all and have a great week

Busy Week 3/7/2019

ahhh ok so this week was kinda crazy and a lot happened so this might be a longer email but we will see.

so this week started off with us working with a couple named milagros and reynaldo and they are studs reynaldo is a member but has been incavtive for some time and we found him the other day and he said that last night he prayed and said lord if you send me the elders i will go back to church. kinda wierd to tempt god like that but hey we knocked on his door the next day and met him and his girlfriend and taught them and now she wants to get baptized like crazy so we have starting working on their marriage papers. update next week.

next so all know that i had a surgery on my toe to remove the ingrown toe nail well so after 5 weeks of being together my comp finally tells me hey i think i have an ingrown toe nail. and i looked and sure enough it was ingrown like crazy haha then i told him why the freak he didnt tell me earlier so we could do something and me of all people would know about it. well so after that we decided to try and take it out ourselves my comp put a sock in his mouth and i got to cutting we were able to snip out the bad part of the skin and nail and then wrapped it all up with alcol and goz so hes all good now so you can all refer to me now as doctor elder singley if you would like hahah.

another funny story so we are teaching a lesson right and getting into the good stuff about joseph smith right as the people we are teaching serve us some popcorn so we are kinda snacking as we are teaching and i ate a popcorn seed on accident and felt like a hard bite but i was focused on the lesson but then felt my tooth and felt a fat chunk of it was missing and that i had just swolled my tooth. i let out a loud oh and everyone looked at me with my face a little distressed so i just decided to give the first vision story and it ended up working really good haha but super sucky cause now i have to go to the dentist tomorrow my least favorite place on earth.

We had transfers this week which means i had to say good bye to johns and when you say goodbye here in argentina you have a huge fight with eggs and flour haha so we did that then the next day i went and got my new comp his name is elder vasquez and he has 5 months in the mish so i gotta take over as comp mayor now so we will see how that goes.

Thats all for  this week sorry it was a lot love you guys and thanks for all the support

olvidarte de tu mismo 4/29/2019

hey everyone i had a short but awesome week 

So this week started off pretty slow we had rain storms for almost 4 days straight and it got super cold so not the funnest to work but good side is more people let us into their houses cause they think we are nuts walking out in the rain.

 so we taught the sabbath day lesson a lot this week and it was pretty difficult a lot of people here have trouble giving up work or even waking up earlier than 12 but me and johns were able to make some awesome promises through the spirit that if they gave this day to the lord they would be blessed in all things in the world and spiritually so it was super spiritual the whole week.

Then came in the headaches so friday i got hit with a pretty bad migrane and it lasted all saturday so that super sucked i was stuck in the apartment all day and it was driving me crazy like always not being able to go work. but good news it cleared by sunday and we were able to wake early to go look for investigators so i was super greatful i could finally work a little bit.

So the reason i have p day today is because our president is about to go home to he did a big p day with all up the mission. it was so freaking fun i got to play american football and spikeball it was a blast i got to know a bunch of new missionarys and say goodbye to my trainer who heads home in a week. it was super cool though we all met up at a big park in cordoba and just played sports and games all morning, super needed p day.

we had a conf. with our president recently and and the end he gave a talk and in one part he said olvidarte de tu mismo and it struck me like a bat. that means forget yourself. ive realized i havent been giving my 100 percent to these people and god everyday and after a hard day working 100 percent i think to myself sweet now tomorrow i can go a little easier but i cant i dont have time to rest i dont have time to give half effort. i have to always remember the sacrifice my savior made for me and that the people need me here they need this gospel more than anything else. haha sorry for the rant but that was just kind of my new thing for this week.

Thanks for all the support i get from all of you and that you guys have always been behind me i love you all and hope you guys embrace the gift of the gospel everyday. love you guys and have a great week.

Pasqua 4/23/2019

ahh whats up eveyone i hope you guys had an awesome easter and a great week.

So this week started off with a conference in cordoba which is awesome i love em they always pump me up so much for missionary work. i also get to see all my boys from the mish and get letters from home woot woot.

Despues de eso tuvimos intercambios con los lideres de la zona y fue bueno yo tuvo con elder gingles mi primer lider de zona en cruz del eje. somos muy bien amigos y yo pudo aprender mucho de el y este translado es su ultimo en la mission antes que el termina su mission. 

haha then we headed back to good old rio segundo with the mentalidad that we were gonna kill it for the three days we had left in the week. so we decided to take only thrity minutes for lunch and then just keep grinding and we were able to get 5 investigators to church!!! The most this branch has seen in over 5 months. so we were super pumped about that but then we were destroyed for the weekend and dead beat tired but it felt so good to finally see people in church. 

Update on gabriel y familia so these guys are doing awesome and are able to see blesssing of the gospel everyday so thats super cool to watch the gospel work in peoples lives like this. we are working on getting them married so they can recieve the blessing of having a family inside the commandments and then they can be baptized and recieve even more blessings.

This week was super awesome for me i was able to keep my head up a lot more than last week and think in my savior a lot more and all he did for me and all the blessings i have recieved including this chance i have to serve his children. i know we all have hard moments but jesus christ knows them all and wants us to confide in him. he made the ultimate sacrifice for us and we need to try and remeber that in every moment of our day. i love my savior and heavenly father so much give so much thanks for this chance i have its a one in a million experience and i only have two short years to wear my saviors name on my pocket, but i encourage all those even without a nametag to share this amazing gospel we have to everyone we come in contact with.

Thats all for this week i hope we can all keep this easter spirit with us and remember he did everything for us.

love elder singley

4/15/2019 Grinding Week

hey guys hows everyone doing? hope you all had an awesome week. 

so nothing to special happened this week kinda just the normal grind of contacting all day haha.

but we finally saw some miracles this week.

So first of all this lottery girl that we met she always hooks us up with candy and references cause we help her with her english, she is super cool. so this week she gave us the address of her sister to go talk to so we went and found her house and inside was nuts i felt like i was back in the states ive been so used to just a concrete box for houses but this girl was loaded it was crazy. but we ended up teaching her the plan of salvacion and it was an awesome lesson she lost her husband five years ago  and was living with her two kids. we were able to testify that we can see our families again and that this life is not all there is and she accepted it really well so i hoping we can keep teaching her.

Other miracle we found was a familia we found contacting at like 10 at night which means nobody is home and nobody wants to talk to us but we said we were gonna work anyways to show god we want to be obedient and work hard. and we were blessed for it we kocked on a very humble house and found the familia of gabriel benjamin kevin gabriel 2.0 and natalia. they are a super cool family and their youngest boy benjamin has a lot of help problems and he has to sleep sitting in a chair so they have a lot of challenges in life but said when they read the book of mormon as a family they felt closer together and were able to see many mini blessings. im crazy excited to keep teaching these guys i love it when a whole family has the chance to accept the gospel together so ill keep the updates on them.

We had a zone conference this week so i got to meet a couple more missionaries so thats always fun also met a 6'5 250 kid who was just playing tight end at byu he is new in the mish. but also got to hang with some old friends from the ccm.

it was my comps birthday this week so we did nothing special hahaha the life on the mish the birthday is just one other day to grind so not super exciting but we got ice cream that night so woot woot.

Thats kinda all that hapened this week sorry not to eventfull haha but it was a good week for me i felt the spirit a lot and i can see day by day my love for teaching is growing its the best thing in the world to be able to testify of this gospel so often everyday and i encourage everyone of you to do the same it doesnt require starting with id like to bear my testimony and end with in the name of jesus christ but just try to share little truths that have blessed your lives in any way and keep being amazing examples.

love all you guys and thank you so much for the amazing support im recieving from you guys hope you have the best week.

love elder singley
