My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why

I'm gonna get right into it this time. Hope you've all been well.

Recent events:
-got cussed out by an online referral
-saw a dead body
-almost bought a wicked vintage car for $1,500
-did 2 tie trades, won both
-me and my comp caught 2 baby iguanas
-cotton eyed joe has been stuck in my head for 3 weeks

Actual notable events: 

We had a baptism! It was for our friend Valentina and she's awesome!  She already has her temple recommend and is preparing to go next month! Plus she speaks english and she wants to go to BYU so she's basically the GOAT. Great baptism though, first one for Elder Arter. I'm so proud. 

It started to rain the other day, for a about 10 minutes. Less of a rain, more like a hard sprinkle. Along with a gust of wind that lasted about 30 seconds. All people were talking about for the next 3 days was how hard the rain was and how strong the wind got. I was like bruh. It was nice to get a little rain though. 

We filled our trash can about 2 months ago, and waited like a week to take it out. But by that point it was too late. So we basically just left it festering with flies and maggots for 2 months. Last night, we decided to finally empty it, expecting it to release a deadly plague. But somehow, when we opened it, there was literally nothing. No bugs, no smell, no anything. So there you have it folks. The secret to a clean garbage is to not take it out or touch it for 2 months. Works like a charm.

Recently we studied a talk about the importance of baptism. It talked about how the reason people don't get baptized is because they don't understand what it really means. Here, there are so many people who know the church is true, and attend church all the time, but don't want to get baptized. I never understood why, but now I do. They just straight up don't understand it. Guys, if you have any friends or family members that still won't get baptized, help them understand it. Because once they understand it, they will want to immediately. 

Love you all, have a wonderful week.

What's up everyone? What the heck is going on? I apologize to you all for much lack of actual good email. It's very hard to write a good one in my area haha I don't have much time and we only have one phone as a companionship. But anyways I wanted to give you guys an update on how things have been. This week we had our last interviews with our President. He's leaving in like 2 weeks and we're getting a new gringo one. It's definitely exciting but also very sad. I love our current President and he's made a huge impact on my mission. It'll for sure be like that with the new one though so it'll be great. It'll definitely be weird though talking to him in English. It's been a while since I've had an in person conversation with an American adult. Hopefully I don't say something wrong because that would be, let's just say, my worst nightmare. Speaking of a new president. They've been changing a ton of rules here and just basically r...

Hello everyone what in the world is up. I hope it's been a wonderful week for all of you. I have had a good week here in the pines (Los Pinos is my area). This week we had a baptism! It was for a girl named Jenny and it was awesome! I got to baptize her which was cool. The font was only halfway full due to lack of water recently, but luckily it was enough. I had to really lower her hahah but it worked. It was a great experience especially since it's been our only one this transfer, and my companion's first one in the mission. We also did it yesterday after church so there were a lot of people there thankfully. This week we got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos which was awful. I just refuse to put repellent on. I don't know if it's cause of the stickiness or cause every time I smell it I think of the morning of a campout, which might be one of the worst feelings in the world. But either way, I HATE putting that stuff on. But alas, I might have to sta...

What is up guys. How we doing this fine Monday morning? I hope all is well. I for one, am doing great. It was a fast and good week. Not a ton happened this week. But one cool thing we did find while going to a lesson in this random obscure place, were Las Ruinas. Translation: The Ruins. Need I say more? Or does the title pretty much sum it up? I'll do it anyway. It was basically just these super old structures surrounded by a really old church. It takes a close second to Machu Picchu. Kidding but it was pretty cool. Unfortunately we couldn't go check out more because it cost money and is also closed on P-days. It was cool though. We set up a mini-golf course in our apartment one night, and it was sick. I was going for an eagle putt on one of the rounds but choked under pressure, and had to settle for a birdie. Not bad, huh? Thanks to my brother in law Rob for showing me the ropes, in both real life and VR. It was fun though. First word of advice: don't try to use a dust p...
