¿SEGUIRÁ EL EJEMPLO DE JESUCRISTO?

HEY. How is every one? This week was pretty great. Elder Winward is way smarter than me. I don't know why I keep getting companions that know so much about computers. What is the Lord trying to tell me? Haha, but in all seriousness, Elder Winward and I are making a good pair. I'm kind of a jump on my horse guns blazing person some times so it's good to have a cool and collected planner by my side. Heh heh. I always remember reading about my great grandpa's youth adventure stories of his horseback travels. It's great to have a spirit of adventure, and it makes being a fisher of men exciting. 

This week was pretty full of a lot of things! We have met wonderful people here and I'm excited to keep you all informed on their progress. It's great to feel the Spirit. I love being back in Marcos Paz! Yeah, I haven't left the city of Merlo for my entire mission (as of now I'm serving in the Argentina Buenos Aires Merlo mission), but it's good to be back close to my first area. I loved working in Villa Posse and that same love transfers over here to Ferrari. There are so many people to talk to! And it's so great to talk to people. The Donald Trump questions have only gotten deeper from here, and the general spirit towards him is that he hates people that aren't white and blonde, but all of the questions about if I'm scared to go back to the US can always end in testifying that there's no reason to be afraid when you follow Christ's teachings. "No temais..".  Be sure to think about all of the good things that are happening in the world before you think of the bad. And especially during this week of Thanksgiving! There are soooooooooo many things to be thankful for that my head could explode just thinking about all of them. I am thankful especially for my family and their incredible examples. Thanks to my dad for serving the Lord in Brasil and helping me have a latino spirit, thanks to my mom for teaching me my entire life so I can teach other people here! Thanks to all of my family and friends for praying and worrying and loving me! And all of the specific blessings I can break off of those broader ones are innumerable. I am especially grateful for loving Heavenly Parents that have provided me with this family that brings me such joy, and for a loving Saviour who has given me the opportunity to have this joy for eternity. There are so many things. Take a few minutes and think about all of the things you're grateful for! I LOVE AND ADORE YOU ALL.
