Updates from Paradise- Mexico MTC. July 31, 2024

 Anddd were back, week two in paradise. Hope everyone had a great week. This might not be the longest email ever, as the days are starting to blend here in the mtc, however as each day passes I get closer and closer to Argentina!! Can't wait. 


One thing I absolutely love about the training center however, is that we get to go to the México City LDS Temple each week. The bus ride is about an hour through Mexico and it is so cool to see the culture around. As for the temple, it is a indescribable feeling and experience. I will attach a few pics from the Temple this and last week. 

As for Español, let's just say it's sorta coming along, very slowly. Although I know that each day of hard work will get me closer and closer to being fluent. Our classes are about 3 hours each every day, so they are quite brutal, however they definitely teach you a lot. 

One message I would like to share from this week is about enjoying the journey rather than the destination. This is a crucial mindset to have both in life and especially on a mission. As I go through these 2 years I have made it a goal to always focus on each day at a time and each experience at a time. I encourage everyone to choose the right and enjoy the journey of life. The end is inevitable, however the journey is personalized. Make your journey worthwhile, love your neighbor, seek to glorify god in all your actions, center your journey in CHRIST, and I can promise you will find more joy in your day to day experiences. 

Ether 12:4 - Book of Mormon

4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.


Some fun experiences this week:

  My Last comp, Elder Engar, described it perfectly. The mission is like a simple house drawing  ... The first wall is the first 6 months, straight up, next you've got the roof going up still but a little less of an Incline. Then you've got the rest, but I haven't gotten there yet so we will save that for later.  I am at that stage on the mish where things slow down a bit, yet at the same time, that is a lie. Don't ask me how it works, I don't know. All I know is that here soon we will be hitting the 11 month mark. Last time I checked, I was getting trained by Elder Myers... but eh, who checks anyways. Here in 2 weeks we will have transfers. I am most likely out of here but I don't wanna jinx anything, so I'll stay shut. As of now I have 2 areas in the mission, almost at the 11 month mark. Trujui, Padua.... We shall see what the future holds. 4 areas, 2 years   please no Anyways, how are you guys doing? I hope super well.  As for me, I had a few interesting...

  Howdy Everyone!!  Another week, another update. Hope everyone is absolutely loving life back in the States, or wherever else you are. Just finished off the first week with a new comp and as a trainer! Still absolutely loving life as a missionary, and being able to wake up and go to work with one purpose in mind! Occasionally I'll have to pinch myself and remember I am across the world, walking the streets as a 19 yr old!!! Crazy One large blessing that I have noticed this week is that the gift of tongues is truly real!!! I'm not sure if I just didn't open my mouth enough or what, but geez my spanish took a huge leap in 1 week! The blessings of training eh... So yeah, I'm thinking it's because I'm literally the one having to keep us alive right now haha, wether it be teaching lessons, or street conversations, talking with members, or even just buying/ordering food, I am lucky enough to have to do it all, and obviously In spanish!! I'm not fluent by any mean...

Week 2 - Mucho Lluvia - Sept. 2, 2024

  Well Hello There, Welcome back to Elder Bowcutt's adventures out in the wild province of Trujui, Argentina!! I can confirm, I have yet to get robbed, woot woot (knock on wood)  It may seem bad, but I promise the large majority of the people here are so amazing and receptive to having a conversation in the middle of the street. The work is definitely progressing and I have officially made it 2 weeks here in Argentina!! (2 months as a missionary next Sunday) Like most weeks, this week definitely had it's fairly share of amazing moments, exciting moments, funny moments, scary moments, and difficult moments.  Tuesday: We started out strong, lots of sun, started to warm up, and got to talk to lots of people on the street. Had a few lessons then hopped on a bus and train to travel to the mission office about 40min away. I had to get some paperwork done for my Argentinian ID and had interviews with the mission president. He and his wife are so awesome and loving. That night we...
