Temple Day!

Hey everybody!

So totally no time because we just got back from going to the temple, which was incredible as always.

Basically everything is going great, we had to drop a ton of investigators this week so we´ll be finding  a bunch this week for sure, and we´ve got some solid possibilities for the next few weeks also for baptisms! 

Walter got confirmed yesterday and was very happy, he wants to go on a mission! Pretty incredible how miracles happen. 

Thanks for all being awesome!

Love,

Baptism!

Super Great Week!

Super great week :) We just got back from having a barbecue at President´s house, pretty great p day haha. 

Alright, so I´m pretty sure my companion is changing my life, because he makes me want to aim a lot higher than what I think I can reach. Quite a difference between getting by and reaching excellence, and who wants to just get by right? I´m extremely happy when I do my best, I think we all are. I feel so blessed for the opportunities I´ve been given, and now I´ve got to take advantage of them. 

This week we spoke with Walter on Thursday, telling him that he´s basically got to step up and do his part or we were going to drop him, so he took that pretty seriously. He was baptized yesterday, and it was an incredible service. He´s one of the people that I´ve seen most changed by the Gospel of Christ. I met him after the missionaries had been working with him for about 2 or 3 weeks, and he was still struggling with tobacco, alcohol, and drug use. He is done with all of it now and feels the Spirit very strongly. He´s a great example for me. 

Hope everyone is doing great, enjoying the heat because I´m enjoying autumn!!! Love you guys!

Happy Mother's Day!

Well, this is gonna be the email to everyone but basically about you Mom :)

So, one of the greatest things I´ve learned so far in my mission, and life, is that you are pretty incredible. You taught me all the things I´m now teaching to the people of Argentina and I´m seeing how it can change their lives. I am so grateful for this Gospel and that you sacrificed a lot so that I could be at this point. I would not be the person I am today without you. I will never be able to repay everything you´ve done for me, but I just love you and hope you know it. 

As we were taught this past week by President Walter Gonzalez and his wife, I felt the Spirit strongly and more energy to continue in the service of the Lord. Yes, my time seems to be dwindling but I feel that I have even more urgency to do the work, so that is a huge blessing. Thank you all for being amazing, I hope you have a great week!

Love,

Braxton in Argentina!

5 de Mayo!

Hello everyone and happy 5 de Mayo!

Although 5 de Mayo has nothing to do with Argentina, it was the day I got baptized and confirmed 13 years ago, so it is still special :) Still doing missionary work, have a few baptisms planned for this weekend and I know I am extremely blessed by the Lord.

My companion constantly pushes me to be better, and it is making me think of how I want to surround myself with people who will always push me to be better, and how I can be that kind of person to others. Heavenly Father loves us enough to want us to reach our potential, not just to reach the requirements. We all live beneath our privileges, so change now! 

We had a great experience this week, we did divisions with two young men, Ezequiel and Nico, and we had 12 lessons in one day! Pretty incredible. Nico went with me and is super funny, always wants to learn more english and is in love with Emma Watson (Hermione from Harry Potter). He is always willing to help and wants to help other youth come unto Christ, which I don´t think I had that kind of drive at his age. We always need to be willing and then go and do. I love you all so much and know that as we do what is right, God will bless us, and it is our responsibility to recognize those blessings. 

Have a good week and I´ll talk to you on Sunday!

Love

Pictures, we visited the Boca last monday and went to Caminito, which is basically tourist central, so we heard a lot of people speaking english, which was really really weird. And so we took lots of pictures!
