Elder Daxton Starkey in Salta Argentina: Week 49

Its been awhile since i{ve been able to write a weekly letter but just so you all no im still alive here in argentina!

Wow a lot has happend lately. As you might already know, maybe not, transfers were last week and now im with my new comp Elder Solorzano! He´s from Ecuador and he´s super great! We´ve had a great first week together and were working hard. We´ve already seen a lot of miracles together!

Sadly last week was my last week with The Famous Elder Fifita. Im missing that guy a lot right now. I had the chance to be his last companion here in the mission and im so glad i did. He taught me so much and was more than just a great companion but a great friend and a great example to everyone! I know hes going to be great in whatever he does!

Always the first week with a new companion is a little bit hard, a little weird but this week has been great. We´ve found so many new people to teach its crazy.

Recently we´ve been teaching a ton about Christmas, kinda obvious since Christmas is almost here, but yeah it has been awesome. Its crazy how we´ll be talking with someone who has no desires whatsover to listen to us until we start talking about the birth of christ and they just open up and start to listen. When we teach a lesson about christmas its basically the same lesson but everytime we teach it to a different person or family i always learn something new and my testimony of christ is always strengthened. I just want to end with my testimony. I know now better than any other moment in my life that we have a heavenly father that knows us, cares about us, and loves us so much. He loves us so much that he gave us his son. I know that Christ willingly and perfectly came to this earth to serve, love, suffer, and die for us. That we celebrate this time of year because litterally a savior was born. I love the mission and all the amazing experiences im having and all the people im meeting, i love my family and i know that because of the gospel we can be together forever, and i love my savior.

I hope you all have an amazing Christmas and that you can feel the saviors love this time of year and more importantly i hope you all get a chance to share it with others.

Con Amor

Elder Starkey
