A Flipping Fantastic Week

Hey Team. 

We had a flipping fantastic week. For real, it was great. We had a ton of miracles that happened this week. We are now working with 6 people with a baptismal date. Which is great for us. Cause a few weeks ago we had nothing. 

This week we decided to talk with everyone. And it has been going great! I love being able to invite everyone. God has been helping us a lot with finding new people to teach. Some of our best investigators were people we just found in the street, or contacting. 

So yeah, life is going good! I sure love you guys a lot! 

Love,

Elder Himes

P.S. It is getting flipping hot here! I can hardly stand it sometimes. It is crazy. 

P.P.S. Some of you guys might remember Juan. One of my best investigators from Ushuaia. That never got baptized with me. I wanted him to get baptized SO bad. I was always thinking about him. and praying for him. Well, this week HE GOT BAPTIZED!!! Whoa! Like 7 months late. 

Another missionary called me and told me that he bore his testimony. He said, "I'm very grateful for Elder Himes and elder Popa, the first missionaries that knocked my door!" It literally was the best feeling in the world hearing that! Vamos todavia!!

Hey Team!! How is it going!?! 

Mira vos! Tenemos un nuevo Presidente que tal eh!?  

We have been hearing so much about his anti-stuff and everyone making signs that say that. Kind of crazy huh? Literally everyone is asking us about what we think about Trump. This really old guys on a tractor going 5 miles an hours honked his horn at us and flipped us off. We just smiled and gave him a thumbs up. I think he did it cause we were both white and he had hear about Trump. But yeah people are going crazy 

My birthday was pretty cool. Not a lot of people knew about it, but it was still really cool cause a lot of miracles happened. We showed up to church and a lady we had never met showed up. She brought her 5 year old granddaughter that had been wanting to come to church for a while! So that was awesome! Then later in the night a little 9 year old kid told us that he wants to be baptized! So that was so awesome too! 

Also some people gave me cake. So that was really cool too!

Well Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Elder Himes

Happy Halloween (Sort of)

Hey there Team! How are you all doing? I hope really well! 

Well, I'm sorry, there isn't all that much to report on this week! We just finished up transfers this week, so everyone in the zone got here. And I just spent the rest of the week introducing my comp to the new area. But yeah, things are doing really well!

Here in Argentina they don't really celebrate Halloween that much. They kind of see it as a bad things. So there isn't all that much that we do here for it. But I hope that you guys all enjoy it! And I hope that you all eat a ton of candy!

Love,

Halloween is Coming

I don't have a ton of time today. Like I actually have very very little time. But I will write what I can.

Today we have transfers so everyone is coming and going. I have 1 hour until someone else goes. 

Haha, halloween here. Everyone thinks that it is a Satan worshiper holiday, so no one really does anything. I might change name tags with my comp. 

My new comp is Elder Petersen!! I'm so stoked. He is literally one of my best friends from the mission. He has one more transfer than me. He is from Washington. We were in my first zone together, and in my second. And we always talked about how we were going to be comps! I'm really happy with my transfer. 

  

Have a great week!

Love,

The Prank Lands at Midnight

Sorry, I don't have a lot of time and the internet is really bad so I cant put picks on, but I will send one funny story. 

Thursday night. We went to bed at 10:30. Then at about midnight my comp gets up suddenly and says, "Hey Bro!" We hear in the other room someone is going through our stuff. Oh my heavens I thought, this is real life. There is actually someone in our pension robbing us. 

So my comp went over to check it out. He walked out first, and boom he fell down. I look around the corner. And I see a full grown man looking at me in a ski mask. I pull my fist to punch him in the face, and as I go in for it. he takes of the mask. And! It was a missionary from another zone. 

They had to come to our zone to do stuff for their Visas, so my companion planned a prank with them. And it was really awesome. The next week I will send photos. 

Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Hims
