Transfers Today!!! Update from ArGeNtInA- February 3, 2025

 Beloved friends and family,


¡Saludos desde Argentina!

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind as we wrapped up the final days of this transfer. Today's the big day – transfer news is coming this afternoon, and I'm on the edge of my seat! I'll be sure to update you all as soon as I know where I'm headed next.

(Update: Headed to San Antonio de Padua to be a Zone Leader!!) 

Overall, this transfer has been incredible. We've been with a remarkable 8 baptisms during Elder Jones's training. Was it easy? Absolutely not – there were definitely moments where I questioned my sanity! But with the Lord's help, we pushed through, and the results have been beyond rewarding. Being a missionary isn't always a walk in the park, but it's moments like these that make it all worth it.

Here's a little recap of some recent adventures:

Chango Más Madness:

 I may or may not have blown way too much of my budget at this Argentinean version of Sam's Club... Oops!

(Unrealted Pic)

DNI Victory: 

After what felt like an eternity of paperwork, I finally got my DNI! No more awkward stares when I try to buy groceries – ¡soy un Argentino oficial!



 
Bag Attack: 

A rather interesting encounter with a lady who seemed to be under the influence... Let's just say she wasn't a fan of missionaries and expressed her feelings by throwing her bag at me.


(Also unrelated, but a coool house😯)  

Intercambio Extravaganza: 

Despite a minor stomach bug, I had an awesome intercambio with the hermanas and Elder Reyes (an Argentine capo!). We found 9 new investigators and invited 3 to be baptized. The next morning, we celebrated with a sunrise run on a nearby track – my first run in 6 months felt amazing!


(Everyone says i look like this man, goaly of Argentina)

Marilo Magic: 

Elder Carpenter and I explored the beautiful Mar del Plata area with our friend Neno. It felt surreal to stumble upon a pristine running trail and massive houses – a little slice of the US in Argentina! We even visited the resting place of the legendary Diego Maradona.

(Nenooooooo)

Santino's Baptism:

 A beautiful way to end the transfer – witnessing Santino enter the waters of baptism.

Conversion to the Will of God - Elder Cook - 2022

True conversion is brought about by the conscious acceptance and commitment to follow the will of God. The banquet of consequences and blessings that flow from conversion is true and permanent peace and the personal assurance of ultimate happiness—despite the storms of this life.

  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...
