Things are good down here. All y'all who have emailed me saying "enjoy the weather while it's warm" nah it's just freezing down here now 

What happened:

*went to argentina* 

  -ate like 4 burgers in the hotel on the way back in santiago 

  -we ate frenchute in concepcion

   -i bought a messy jersey and a argentina magnet

   -I got to know I bunch of baller missionaries really well

   -one of my friends in the mission, Elder Winter, we got to the mish together and were in the same zone for 4 months wanted to talk to one of the Argentinians about Jesús, and gracias a Dios we put him on date to be baptized! I went 1/1 and therefore will NEVER do a street contact again in Argentina. Shoutout to our friend Marcelo. 

-had consejo de zona, it was the same thing that I saw in consejo de lideres, just number pushing and key indicator farming jargon  but I learned some good stuff how helping our friends keep their commitments

-had a service project cutting wood

- had some fire lessons and we made some progress in the sector (when I got here it was dead) 

-I had lost like 10 pounds on the mish now I'm on the weight gain and workout grind #chocolate milk #bread #this one's for you mom

Que tengan una buena semana!  

Note from Emily: Garret had to fly to Argentina for visa reasons (they have to leave the country for their visas Don't really understand why).  He flew from Concepcion to Santiago and then to Buenos Aires Argentina.  They got to go out in Buenos Aires for a few hours. They went to Tres de Febrero Park where Melvin J Ballard dedicated Argentina for missionary work on December 25, 1925. This is where he did the street contact.  Then they flew back to Santiago and had to stay overnight there. That is where he ate the 4 hamburgers.  He was so excited to stay in Santiago at this hotel because he had stayed there when he originally flew to Chile to start his mission and the food was super good.  Boys and their food??

I broke my record on the EI test
