Dat Boi in Argentina: BOCA CAMPEONES

Ok so the ciber [internet cafe] is playing "Wake Me Up" by Avicii o sea the best song of my generation and tbh I think I felt the spirit. Does that mean it's ok [for missionaries] to listen to during the week? But like I ask that for real? I feel like Avicii is actually inspired by God. He is full of the light of Christ. Also I read in the Book of Mormon how Cristobal Colon was inspired of the spirit to come to the Americas.

So tbh I really don't have a lot to report on this week. It was very average with nothing crazy. Boca came out champions. That's about the news I have for this week.

So this week we will find out transfers. I have literally no idea how it's going to play out. We are receiving 16 new elders. I pray I don't train. And if I do, they are prolly gringos. I just want more Argentine comps. Or a Brazilian. Or a black comp.

Last week I hit the half way point and it was weird. I was thinking of all the stuff I did in the past year and what I liked and didn't like and how I could change it for this next year. I basically made new years revolucions but in June. It was a good thoughtful experience. I feel like it's good to take time to think "Where am I?" and "Where am I going?" I would defs recommend it. I think of two talks. And one of the talks mentions the other talk. One is by Carlos Godoy and the other by President Uchtdorf. Elder Godoy says "If I keep living the way I'm living, will the promised blessings be fulfilled?" and the other one is about the difference of a matter of degrees (something like that). It's deep stuff.

I made some good inspired goals and wrote them in my journal. Also to keep y'all update on my new years goals that I made back in January, I'm pretty good on ALL of them. (Minus "stop biting nails"). That's killing me. But now I added more goals and I plan on doing ALL of them.

I'm still reading and studying The Book of Mormon. And I LOVE IT. As you know, I've read it a few times in the mission but in Madryn I haven't been as faithful in reading as I should be and I can honestly say that I feel like a difference in my life style when I read and when I didn't read. It's like a pulling to read The Book of Mormon. I can feel like the power in my life. And a different light is added. It's strange. And I've read it a few times before but now I'm learning things that I may have not noticed before. Like now that I've studied "Jesus the Christ", The Book of Mormon has a different sense. It's hard to explain and I feel like I can't explain myself as I would like. But the main point is that JESUS IS THE CHRIST and The Book of Mormon is just another testament of that. Like it says on the cover. But now it's so obvious to me.

Ok I love you all. And for that, I'd like for you to find the light in your lives through The Book of Mormon. And if you aren't doing that now, ask yourself "Where am I going?" and make a goal to read it.

Ok, so Colin didn't send any pictures this week so I thought we could have a quality tbt to his first year of his mission. Please listen to this song (Something New by Axwell/Ingrosso) while going through the pictures. Colin and I decided before he left it's the perfect mission song. I tried to make a cool slide show thing on instagram with it once but they blocked it for copyright reasons :(
