Elder Kenneth Georg Chalk, LDS Missionary in Rosario, Argentina!🇦🇷

  Hola! Quite a bit happened in the past 7 days, I'll keep it quick haha! First and foremost, MTC is done, and I’m glad to be in the field! Good times all round, excepto for getting here... first a 9 hour Flight to Buenos Aires, with  a 4am  wake up, then once we got there, the leaders go "you got the same thing tonight!" I was so done haha! But yeah, got up  at 4am  again, and I still haven’t caught up on my sleep schedule! It was fun to meet President Walton! Such a nice man. He read my introduction paperwork and said- “I see you are a black belt, that’s good because this is a working mission!” 🙌 I also told him I won’t be a troublemaker.😂 Mom I’ll give him the Texas pasta noodles when I see him next week😂 I did meet up with my trainer, Élder Monson (not related to Thomas S.) and he's been showing me the ropes... He is amazing! We get along really well. He’s been out a year and 9 months, so only 3 months left to go… I will likely be his last companion befor...

  Well- that was fast! Good times all around, but nothing too crazy to report as we near the end of language "Boot Camp." I can confidently hold my own in Spanish, but need to actually be exposed to solely Spanish before I can make any real growth. Yeah, it’ll be absurdly difficult, but what’s life without a challenge... Highlights: - Taught my Companion how to solve a Rubiks Cube, he’s getting under 2 minutes before solving it pretty consistently - Started marking up both Book of Mormon and Bible on points that support each other... it’s pretty much all marked up as I’m going, that’s a great sign haha - Lots of cool devotionals, with the Apostles giving amazing feedback and pointers for our work. Last night’s big takeaway was "No one cares, get over yourself,” in tandem with when we talk to people and they start talking about what their parents or ancestors have done... "Thats nice. What have you done lately?" - I’m downloading a few choral songs before I head...
