Last letter in the mission! Greatest 2 years of my life!



Welp I think this is my last email in the mission! I cannot believe it! This week was great! Maria Sol progressed super well the whole week and loved church. She is doing really good! She has a baptismal date for the 21st of June. Also Romina came to church for the second time! We haven't seen her in awhile but she came and really liked it! She could get baptized this week so please pray for her! Eugenia is not doing too great. There were changes in her work and she works Monday through Saturday the whole entire day and some Sundays. We practically can't see her at all. But her family is doing great. Her three sons go to church every Sunday in suit and tie! They love it! Felipe is also doing awesome! Yesterday he blessed the Sacrament for the first time and did great! He is so awesome!  This week was full of meetings! Everyday we had a meeting! We had zone conference and it went great. The first thing president did was he gave us a recap of game 1 of the NBA finals!!!!! Bummer loss for the Cavs but I hope they win! Welp that's it for this week. I still cant believe that its ending. It still hasn't hit me. I love the mission so much! I will enjoy my last week here! Thanks for everything! Love you guys!!!!

Soccer Tournament with the entire mission!

May 26
OK so I'm writing today because we had a mission activity yesterday that took up almost the whole day! It was awesome! The whole entire mission went to a super nice school that President rented out right next the ocean and we had a small devotional and watched a few videos. It was pretty good. And after this we had a huge soccer tournament with the whole entire mission! President made a huge bracket and each zone played against other zones! My zone got to the semi-finals and we lost in a shootout. It was pretty intense. We played on real fields and they were huge, so I was dying but I loved it. We had refs and everything! After the tournament we had a huge barbecue and ate a ton of hamburgers! And then to finish it off we went to a theater and watched meet the Mormons! It was an awesome activity! I had a blast! This week went well. We keep finding more people but they haven't been progressing very well. Romina was doing great until the end of the week she had a few doubts and we lost contact with her and we haven't seen her for days. Eugenia is doing good. Right now she is visiting her family in another part of Argentina but she is improving a lot with quitting smoking. The last we heard is she only smoked 2 cigarettes in one day! Keep praying for her! I am still loving this ward! The members are incredible and do so much! Welp that's it for this week! Love you guys!

Hola familia!!!! I went to the city today for p-day so I don't have too much time to write but this week was good. We are working alot with the Ponce family. They accompany us almost everyday! The ward is working super hard. This ward does so much! Every Friday night this ward does a family home evening with the whole entire ward. This week the elders were in charge of the activity. We did an acting/play thing that is super funny. We have videos so I will show them to you later but it was awesome! This week Eugenia came back from vacations and is struggling a bit with smoking and the gospel so please pray for her. We started working with a kid named Brian. We dropped him about 2 months ago but we have started working with him again. He is super awesome! Please pray for him. Welp that's about it for this week! Time flies by! I cannot believe it! I love you all!
