Yo where am I bro

 Greetings to all. I am finally out of quarantine and in my area! The city is called Parque del Plata which directly translated means "élder Jerman is epic" so that's kinda quirky. It's a coast city and a few times I've seen glimpses of the beaches.


Before getting here I spent my last few days in quarantine. Got another nose test again and boy those are refreshing I tell ya. While here, thanks to the amazing cooks I've been able to have 2 of my favorite Uruguayan dishes, milanesa and fideos con tuco! Super delicious. One of my companions gave almost all 9 of us haircuts which was pretty entertaining. If you were wondering the podcast I was doing turned out well. An incredible 6 episode season, hit ms up if you want the google drive haha.

We had sacrament meeting with the president and family. Very nice. Élder Chynoweth and I have been able to build a very wholesome relationship with our beloved cooks, we help serve every meal haha. We all heart attacked the kitchen one night for them to find nice notes in the morning.

During the quarantine, I finished the Book of Mormon again and the famous Ricciardi Letter. The Ricciardi Letter should be a movie, it is definitely something that can help change your mission for the better. The Book of Mormon is the most epic written text of all time. My testimony of it has come slowly and builds every day. Keep reading and keep praying folks.

FINALLY got out of quarantine and made it to my area. 
• We have a very lovely man who was recently converted that ends each of his voice messages in the name of Jesus.
• Sometimes we're just walking the streets and the sun is setting and I just breathe in and realize where I am and remember how good God is.
• I have very obviously not been exposed to the sun in a minute, I got burned the first day very nice.
• Before December I had had 4 companions in my whole mission. In the month of December I have had 6 companions. I'm on my 3rd trio. My companions are both from the country. No better way to become uruguayo than to live with 2 natives to the country. Very content I am.
• A man that was familiar with the church wished he lived in Utah because he really likes the idea of polygamy so if you ever see that guy in Utah be careful ladies.
• Also my toenail on my pinkie toe fell off not sure what happened there #yolo
• There is a very busy route that separates our house and the church (where we do most our sfuff) and in the past few days I bet we've piled up more than an hour waiting to cross.

Cheerio from your boy

From your boy, boy
