Mundial, Mundial, Mundial.

Lets see, it really hasn't been too long since I've written ya'lls, but I'll give you a quick catch up..

A couple days ago I almost got my arm ripped off by a pack of dogs, I don't know what it was, I honestly think it was the full moon, but dogs all were going crazy a couple of days ago.. There was a whole pack of dogs coming at us, so we picked up a bunch of rocks-this usually scares em of, just picking up rocks-but they kept barking and coming at us, so we chucked rocks, they kept coming. Then I stepped backward into a lil ditch and the dog was coming at me, thats when I chucked a handful of dirt in his face and picked up some BIG rock and pegged him. We threw lots of rocks at them and they finally backed off. We came across tons of dogs that wanted to rip our throats out that night.. It was pretty insane..

Other than that the work has been pretty slow.. The World Cup started up, so people are allllways watching it. People do invite us in though, they just dont pay too much attention to us.. that being said though, we did have a really good lesson with this lady named Ana, I can't really explain why it was so good, its just that the spirit was super strong, we were teaching directly to her needs and the holy ghost was helping us a ton. We asked her how she was feeling and she said super peacful and good and we identified that as the holy ghost, she has a lot of potentional. Plusss she doesnt even watch the mundial. so that gives us someone to visit!

Anyways, I love you guys a ton and Happyyyy fathers day!

The Story of Elder Scogin, The Illegal Alien

So, because of some slacking secretaries, I've been illegal for like three months since all I started out with was a 90 day visa and that expired my first transfer.. Someone finally noticed, and they sent us down to Rio Gallegos to get the paperwork done.. So they put us on a bus and after ten hours we got there.. Gallegos is pretty dang nice, it kinda looks like Omak, thats how close it was to Amerrica. We met up with some missionaries, I knew both of the zone leaders over there, Elder Rice used to live in the pension with us(he had the incident with the dog) and Elder Velascez was in my first zone, so it was pretty cool to meet up with some old friends. We mostly just sat around in the immigration office forever and they took fingerprints and stuff.. The people there were pretty nice, I think a lot of missionaries have been through their office.. then we just sort of waited around with the other elders for the bus to come, made some really big hamburgers and had a snowball fight...

So thaaatts why I'm writing a day late mom probably thought I was dead or something, but it was just some paperwork that I had to wrap up..

Other than that a pretty normal week, the city flooded again, I cut my hair, talked to a lot of people, had meetings with the president just the usual shenanagins.. Have fun with your summer you guys! Thats crazy that school is already out, this has been the fastest time has gone in my life..

Also, my comp threw up. We were having lunch with some member and we always have to eat everything to be nice, they gave us a salad, cananolies, and then peaches for dessert. Elder Tyler ate everything and then when he got to the door of the pension he ran to the bathroom and threw it all up just because it was waaaaaaay too much food... So the moral of this week is don't make the missionaries eat too much because they might die... 

Lotsa fechas, lotsa new, no asistencia.

I forgot my journal, so looks like ya´ll will be getting just a general highlight of what I remember.. 

So this week we did another 140 contacts, because of this we found ten people that wanted to let us listen to our message, of these ten six accepted a date for baptism when invited for four weeks later. Of those, all said that they would come to church on Sunday, we said we´d come buy to pick them up around 9:30 and all of them agreed.. Sunday came and we went out early to bring them all to church. Not a single one answered the door, they were all sleeping.. That pretty much sums up the week, a lot of work on our part and the little bit that we asked other people to do went unfulfilled. But I guess there's only so muchy we can do, the rest is up to the people and they have their own agency. Its just frustrating sometimes.

Other than that, I feel good about what I've been doing, I've been doing the best I can to help other people and to invite them. That's all I can do is invite and help.

Lemme see.... I made a bunch of pizzas this week, four to be exact, i just made all the dough in one day and then divided it up and froze it so I could spread it out through the week.. the secret is in the sauce, that's what made it, I didn't have the best cheese because cheese is super spendy here, they don´t have pepperoni, so I just used some lunch meat, but I made a dang good sauce and because of that the pizzas were tasty..

I also found a full rams horn... A dog was chewing on it, so we snagged it. It reminded me of willow..

I love you guys! Make sure you use your agency for good and don't be lazy, its amazing how messed up peoples priorities are, make sure that you put certain relationships as your number one priority

1st:Your relationship with god

2nd:your relationship with your family

3rd:Relationship with your fellow man

4th: your relationship with yourself

There are so many distractions in this world that we can lose sight of whats really important in life. We can spend more time texting people or watching TV than actually building relationships in this life which is the only thing we will take into the next. 

Besitos!
