Bienvenido al...Wonderland of Fires- January 6, 2025

 Buenos Dias! Q anda? Tranqui?


Avíseme no más. Quiero escuchar de ustedes! Perdón si no puedo contestar muy rápido, hay un montón para hacer cada día. Pero tranqui, la obra está progresando no más. 

Still livin the good life here in Trujui, Argentina. When will I ever be in a new area, you may ask? At this point, probably never. Butttt, here we are, so might as well make the best of it! Life is Good!!

As for the title... welcome to the land of Fires!!! Not sure what the deal is, but I have seen and heard more fire trucks in the past few weeks than in my life in general! Summer hit, and the place literally lit up in flames hahah. 🚒

With that being said, here's a few experiences from the week!

12/31 - Fire #1

Walking to a lesson and realized morning running trail had been lit on fire!!! It used to be the one, green, and lush...ish, place I had to go run. Buuut, someone decided to lite it on fire. So that's that.

This same day we went to a members house for new years Eve and were able to munch on some blood sausage🙂‍↔️... luckily some asado too.



Welp. I went to send my email and the whole thing deleted up until here. So that's Unfortunate. But here we go again...🥲

01/01/2025!!🥳-

Everyone was completely hung over so not much happened this day. However, we were able to meet back up with our main man David, he's 10 y lo mejor!!




01/02- Fire #2

Had an Intercambio with the legend Elder Carpenter from Mckinney, Texas! Was a fun time, and even got to see a very large tire fire that was all over the news!







01/05- Bautismoooo 

Our friends Karina and her son Derek got baptized!! We have been working with them for a few weeks, and they were simply...ready. Ready to enter into a covenant with God and ready to change their lives. It was so amazing to see the joy they felt that day! I say it so many times, and I will continue to say it... there is truly nothing out there like being a missionary and helping all to understand their true divine potentials!!




** Versiculo Y Quote **

2 Nephi 33: 10-11

10 And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good.

 11 And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye—for Christ will show unto you, with power and great glory, that they are his words, at the last day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him to write these things, notwithstanding my weakness.

☆Of Things That Matter Most By President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Second Counselor in the First Presidency☆

Leonardo da Vinci is quoted as saying that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” When we look at the foundational principles of the plan of happiness, the plan of salvation, we can recognize and appreciate in its plainness and simplicity the elegance and beauty of our Heavenly Father’s wisdom. Then, turning our ways to His ways is the beginning of our wisdom.

Have a Great Week Everyone!!
¡Hasta lo Próximo!

  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...

Bendiciones Del Día a Día - Nov. 18. 2024

  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...
