Week # 49, July 12, 2018

Hey mom hows it going? 

Yeah I know what Mate is. it is a drink that technically is from argentina but a lot of chileans drink it too. Its not against the word of wisdom. My companion drinks mate almost every day. I personally do not like mate it tastes like dirt at first but the say if you keep trying it you eventually get over it. But i wouldn't`t even want to keep drinking it because it does have a ton of caffeine. A lot of gringos do return drinking mate. 

Gina is doing pretty good, this week we started teaching her again and put another baptism date with her. 

This week we did a great activity for the elders quorum in the church. A blind less active guy named Saul taught everyone how to make bread for the activity. It was pretty cool learning from the blind master and having an activity where we could include a less active. 

Some things that im studying... I usually change it up everyday I always read the book of mormon then I study preach my gospel and study other topics. A little while back I finished reading Jesus the Christ. I Will memorize 2 nephi 31-20-21 with you guys. (I`m going to memorize in spanish though, i think it will be easier) 

I love you so much and thanks for everything

Love Elder Austin
