Elder Kenny Chalk’s Week 28: Baby pizzas, new pans and downpours!

 

Buen día y’all! Hope life is running smoothly on y’alls end! Let’s just jump right in... 

- We found out our Christmas plans! We’ll have a morning Zone Conference and they asked me to sing a solo— I’ll record it for you mama! Then we have to be in by 4pm… we can chat with family for an hour, then we have to stay in the rest of that night and the next day! Apparently it’s to keep us safe and respect people’s family time.

- OK the weather here has officialy lost it’s marbles... We were walking down the road, there were a few clouds just chillin in the sky and we started to hear thunder... We were of course super confused, but kept walking... Then the sky just decides to darken by 2.6 million percent and downpour on us...
We ended up jogging for cover for a second, but on the way a random family invited us inside to take cover for bit haha! Had a fun time with all them, and of course some 10 minutes later the sun was shining like nothing had happened. Vamos Argentina :)

- As a mission we have decided to really go out and aprovechar (or make the most of) this Holiday Season, so we’re talking to everyone handing them these sweet "Jesús is Christmas" cards. For the most part, the feedback is very thumbs up! 

- We were eating with some members, and there were these super cute baby pizzas. It was a great refresher from the 22 kilos of food that everyone prepares for the missionaries- and then we end up leaving, barely able to walk because we’re stuffed... Long story short, it’s nice to breathe every once in awhile with nicely proportioned meals...

- Another pretty solid week out in the field. We'll be having interviews with the Mission President this Thursday, so we’re all looking forward to that! 

Thats about it. Live long and prosper ;). Élder Chalk

Merry Christmas from Elder Kenny Chalk! Week 29 in Argentina

  Buen día todos! We’re still going strong out here-  Christmas and New years are this week. If y'all remember from the other email, we have certain rules on what times we have to be in the house and what times we can go out, so we'll be attentive to those, since the people really do get crazy on the holidays haha - There's this stray dog (we named him Scooter since he likes to scoot across the grass here) and he's been following us literally everywhere the past 4 days. Whenever he sees us, he just starts waggin his tail like crazy and doesn’t leave our side. It’s kinda creepy, honestly. We’ll be having a lesson with some friends, and a good half hour later he's still just there on the grass outside, staring at the door, waiting for us. He’s a good man. If you ever end up reading this Scooter, you're an A+ amigo :)  - Walked with our friend to church last Sunday, a solid half hour to the church and we almost missed the meeting... But we made it in time, no sweat...

Elder Kenny Chalk’s 9 month mark! Week 39

  Me again! We had a great zone conference, and interviews with the President are coming up on Wednesday – should be amazing! Also, had variety of interesting experiences this week. - The Zone Conference was phenomenal. There was a big emphasis on what we as missionaries can do to consecrate ourselves to the Lord even before teaching or finding people. It was really thought-provoking. - We talked with a returned missionary who was going through some major personal trials and helped him arrange some things to get his life back on track. He played an epic rendition of the hymn "If You Could Hie to Kolob" – it was beautiful. - I went on divisions (splits) with Zone Leader Elder Eldridge. We ended up walking pretty much the entire night, but we ate bananas at the end, so it was worth it!    - I got a package from my family this week with some things from the States that I've really missed – Pringles, gum, clip-on tie (in honor of my Grandpa Stephen who served here) and things...

First letter from Argentina! 7/22/24

  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...
