It has been a minute!

 So so sorry that I haven't written an email in so long. Pdays are more like crazy days here for some reason. Things here in Argentina have been great!!! Christmas eve here was absolutely nuts. Argentine Christmas eve is more like New Years where people stay up till midnight and light off every firework imaginable and party in the streets. A little different but honestly it was an unforgettable Christmas for me. We had the baptism of Antonella!! It was such a beautiful day because President and his Wife decided to come and they gave awesome talks/testimonies!! I then had to follow them up with my own talk which was daunting but I was able to say what I wanted to. Great day and as we were about to leave, an investigator that I found on facebook showed up at the gate of the church!! She had traveled by bus over an hour to come for the baptism. I just felt chills when she called us telling us she was outside. We had an amazing lesson with her, showed her around the church, and honestly it was such a tender mercy. She is now on date to be baptized in two weeks! She told us the reason she came is because she felt God prompted her that she needed to come to follow him. Her faith and desire to find the truth for herself is amazing. 

 I have been reading a lot in 3rd nephi lately and it is honestly amazing scripture. The love the way in which the savior teaches in simple parables that when you look into a little more are actually extremely profound. The love that the savior shows and the way he serves all is a quality that all leaders should have. My companion Elder Ramos is one of the best examples I have had in my life and for him I am eternally grateful. He is the zone leader in our zone and his leadership qualities are amazing. He teaches me so much and living in a one room apartment, I can't help but hear stuff that only the zone leader should hear but I know the lord wants me to learn from him right now. His way of showing his love and willingness to serve others is a great testament to me. The savior says  14 If I then, your Lord and aMaster, have bwashed your feet; ye also ought to cwash one another’s dfeet.

15 For I have given you an aexample, that ye should do as I have done to you.

16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

 Nuff said. Jesus Christ is the ultimate leader. 

I pray for you all daily! If there is anything I can help you with please reach out! Let me know how your amazing lives are. 

-Elder Rose

 Luke's good friend Elder Rodriguez finished his mission and left this week!  This is the Elder that is friends with our neighbors up the street, the Wasiks!  And then Luke got to welcome 5 new missionaries!  So fun to be in this position right now to say goodbye's and to welcome the new ones!  Next week is going to be a tear-filled one as he has to say goodbye to his beloved mission president and his sweet wife!   One funny thing happened while they were at the airport.  There was a transgender man there in a dress.  As they walked by President Reber said to Luke and his companion "Nice dress!"  ha ha ha, Luke got a kick out of that! :)  Luke is loving his new companion Elder Suarez.  He is so kind and loving toward people and a great guy.  He is from Paraguay so he has a soft spot in my heart because my brother Tyler served in Paraguay!   That's about it from the week.  Busy busy but doing great! Luke and ...
