Elder Maxwell Gueller : The Rise of Elder Robin

Let´s see, not much happened this week. We went to Salta because I had to do some paperwork for my visa, and we got to have McDonald´s there, which is not the same, but it was good and the office bought it, so bonus. We also had to wait a long time for a lot of things so at one point there were like 6 of us playing a game where you had to try and draw the same thing as everyone else with your eyes closed. That was pretty fun. And pretty weird. Not fun things become fun when your whole life is pretty much having three minute conversations that you don´t understand with strangers... But hey, it is the life I chose haha. Que va a hacer. So we went to Salta and that took like 2 days, so we missed a couple of appointments. All good. Oh on the bus we took, there was this weird and inappropriate movie, so that was awkward.

Continuing, we returned to Jujuy and did the stuff we normally do. Tried to reset some soft baptism dates, and managed to get a new one with Juan Pablo Caile, which is kind of our only hope for a baptism right now. I definitely butchered part of a lesson with them this week, but luckily I have Elder Batman. He´s a stud, 10 out of 10 would recommend, and in like 10 months he´ll be single and available, just saying. Yeah so that happened, um what else... You hear lots of weird stories that you do not really believe at first about spirits and noises and stuff, but there is definitely some truth to them. The language is getting better, especially when God is in charge, I can really tell when He starts talking through me because I honestly cannot remember what I said after. Words just come and go.

OH there was this fun game they played in the church that we saw for some holiday they have here about kids, which looked fun. They tie a balloon to everyone´s leg and everyone tries to pop everyone elses balloons. That is a keeper. It got intense, those kids go hard. This week was very cold too, Batman is a little sick (don´t overreact mothers) but he has been trooping it out this week. But yeah it has been cold and windy and dusty, oh also our hot water no longer works. R.I.P. my will to live in the mornings. At least we have mate. Otherwise I would not be having the best time. We see lots of weird things here too, well not weird but different.

Cool. Well that is pretty much it as far as big events. I am really starting to love the people, it helps that I can understand a little of what they are saying. Thanks for all the prayers guys, God is hearing you all and blessing me for sure. I also read this scripture in 1 Nephi 21 verse 16 that says, Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. I really like this scripture. It might have become my new favorite. It really just emphasizes how much Jesus loves us and understands our situations. Very powerful for me this week. We honestly run into lots of problems and it is pretty brutal. Just things that we would never think of suddenly pop up and become really big problems.

We have some really solid members and families in our little branch of under thirty people. It is pretty great. Today, we had a pretty low key day. We went and had a lunch somewhere with our district and Bats still does not feel great. I liked it because we actually like relaxed instead of travelling and adventuring and so I will probably actually feel a little rested this week haha. It does mean my pictures won´t be as good though. Oh also today, Bats was being a translator for this guy who owns a moto shop and an Asian guy in China. It was pretty cool, and the people who run the moto shop might be new investigators. We have a visit with them on Wednesday.

Yeah this week was ok. I had my first Spanish dream though! Shout out to the young Sam Norman for being featured in the dream. I do not remember most of it, but I remember those two things!

Yo se que tenemos dificultades. Tener problemas es parte del plan de nuestro Padre Celestial. Para crecer, necesitamos caer. Y tambien, quiero testificar de Jesucristo porque El nos conoce individuamente y por nombre. El es como superamos muerte y obtener la vida eterna. El plan es hermoso y una manera ser libre de pecado. Que generoso es nuestro Dios!

Peace out everybody! Take a warm shower for me, ustedes estan en mi corazon!
