This place is so epic why is she doing that though

 This has been a pretty good week. My companionship is really finding its stride. It's very good because our president is putting trust in my companionship that he hasn't done before with his secretaries so that has been epic. 


We went to downtown downtown Montevideo 2 early mornings in a row and one of them there was a bald lady on the sidewalk that stared through our window and laughed at us for like a full hour I couldn't help but join and at the same time be scared for my life. Really great lady.

We have been doing a lot of traveling to take missionaries to medical consultations, and a lot of putting the house in order in the office. We continue to work with both of our words to try and revive the work. We are finding teaching and soon will be baptizing.

I'm feeling more settled in and comfortable with everything in the office and also the city, I feel like I'm attached now haha. I've gotten some dope souvenirs lately not gonna lie. I love being here, and I love the people. I love the mission and I love my Lord Jesus Christ. Part of me wants to stay here forever and become a full blown citizen. I've gotten to the point with the language and the knowledge of the culture that unless I tell people they don't know I'm not from here. I am very happy :)

Also we are coming home from a big travel right now from the center of the country, we cleaned 3 houses in 3 cities. Next week I'll send pics because this week I have to send pictures of last pday where we went to the most famous/touristy part of Uruguay, Punta del Este. We played soccer on the beach, enjoyed the pretty views and the nice city, and explored the rock shore. Wholesome moment of walking down a cute street with the wind blowing and an epic ice cream.

All my love for all of you

Love Elder Jerman

No subject - Travel Day / P Day

Zac didn't have much time to write as the 8 Elders traveled today on their p-day.  They had a great outing and he called us from inside the van with 7 other missionaries all talking around him.  I could hear some of them better than Zac!  He says his days are full with learning his calling as executive secretary and also trying to get out to their area in the evenings.  
He is loving this time with 8 missionaries living together and he loves the view from his nice apartment!


Sorry I was doing an all day gangnam style challenge and I didn't even take breaks to eat or anything so I'm very sore but it was so epic I was hitting the gangnam style so hard let's go hang loose guys I love you all.

Gangham style photo time

Yoooooo how is everybody doing honestly I hope well. Today was pretty crazy, I did I crazy life hack and fell asleep while Elder Kennerley cut my hair, and that way I didn´t waste pday time sleeping, insane double tasking. This week we have doing lot of work which has been great. We work a lot in the office and are working of organizing better. We have been putting work in as well in the areas. We have the awesome opportunity of learning from mistakes and working every day to improve personally and as an office. I have been loving living with these 7 other Elders. Here are some photos below of my week. We have enjoyed waking up at 05:30 in order to get more stuff done. Hence some epic sunsets.

A little explanation of the photos he sent.  Zac got to go back to an area he had visited more than a year ago.  He said they cleaned out an apartment left empty due to the pandemic.  The fridge/freezer had been turned off but meat had been left inside so it was full of maggots.  Birds nested out on the patio. He didn't have peanut butter the first part of his mission in Uruguay, but a companion showed them how to make peanut butter so now they make it by the bucket load.  He is beyond excited to have found a drinking mug, "mate" pronounced mahtae made out of a cow's hoof.  I'm pretty sure that thing will never get a place in my kitchen window!  Zac is the executive secretary and learning a lot of things and also loving this time and experience.  He and his companion gave each other haircuts, and during our call, they showed us how they both had bald places.  Haha!

Basically a gallon of peanut butter that we made

Early pday because of conference

 Zac is currently living in a nice apartment on the 12th floor overlooking the city of Montevideo.  He lives with 7 other Elders which has been a lot of fun.  He is serving as the secretary to the president and is trying to get out of the office at 4:00 and go out to meet people and try to find some "friends" to teach.  

So this week I would like to highlight the fact that we went to a street that was called Maipú pronounced "my poo" so that was pretty awesome. This week consisted of finding people to teach and pointing them on baptismal date in an effort to change the office culture. In 3 days we accumulated the history of the mission in the year 2020, a project that should have done by the past missionaries all last year and it was like 345 pages so that was epic. We take a lot of taxis which is crazy. Anyways what is going on I love you.
