Hola Gente

May 26, 2025

 HOLA GENTE! This week was lonnnnggggg but as always miracles were seen. I'm gonna try and do this email a little different (just for you momma)

There is something special about being a missionary. Waking up at 6:30 every day and pleading with the lord that you can do His will and then feeling the little whispers of the spirit guide you as you go out and try to share the most important message that has ever existed. Talking to everyone and feeling god's love for them. Feeling the breeze on a hot sunny day and looking to the branches of the trees and seeing that God is waving right to you, giving you a little more hope and energy to push a little harder, to give him every last ounce of your soul that day. Going to a member meal and feeling the member's love, a place of rest for a short while, hearing their testimonies, and then you are sharing yours hoping that you will be able to make the smallest of an impact on them. Going out and teaching a family you so desperately hope will accept the message you bring so that they, can receive the eternal blessings of an eternal family. Coming home to rest for until you go out and do it all again tomorrow. And closing the night with a prayer that you so earnestly hope reaches the heavens, as well as pleading with your father in heaven to give you the relief that you need from your own battles as well. But then as you realize that when you catch one last glimpse of your savior's love before you drift off to sleep that everything will be ok. 

This last week I hit 16 months as a missionary, and as it has been one of the hardest things I have ever done, BUT I will never give up giving to the lord until I have given more than what our savior gave to the each one of us. A infinite gift He gave so willingly and freely. Oh how I love my savior. 

Please pray for these people. Vanessa, Gris, Rafael, Areceley, Romario, Santos, and Manuel.  

Que les vaya bien 

Hasta la próxima

Journal Recap

5/20/25

MONDAY we had a crazy day. We visited our friends and got fed. It's the family We are teaching that the dad isn't a member. And then we went to a very awkward fhe .but it was still fun we got free food again. And a member brought this girl named Gahiridra I think that is how you spell it? But she is cool I hope she comes to church! And Tuesday was fun! We literally had no lessons planned or anything but god seriously consecrated our efforts. We met a cool dad and his daughter at the park and got a return appointment, gave him a bom and everything. Their names were Rafael and Abril! We also got a super cool referral named santos who has a big history with missionaries, and he might want to get baptized. Meeting with him tomorrow. So, I'm excited for that. I'm really trying to stay focused on Jesus Christ and not anything else. President Zavala came to district council and gave is a 1 2 on staying focused so I'm excited to work more on it. He shared the story about Pedro in the boat and the story seas and him walking on water

Today was a very interesting day. We had to take our car to get an estimate on the damage of our car…it will be over 750 Dollars. Crazy. Anyway, we also stopped by the office and the president interrupted our personal study. We talked about my Last transfer and what I was thinking about, and then we talked about this Person I found that got baptized. And how it helped a missionary who had never had a baptism before who was actually my trainee. Anyway, it was a really good conversation, But I think he is thinking about moving me to the other side of the mission again. I really like it over here, and I feel like I would like to end my mission here. Idk. We shall see… BUT we taught Rafael about the word Of wisdom and he is down to keep it yayayayay!! And then we had a lesson with our friend Romario who came to church with us a couple weeks ago and he basically asked us what he needed to do to be baptized!!! So cool!! And then the really cool referral we got yesterday we went and passed by his house today and he is literally the most humble person ever. Has lots of potential and we actually had an inactive member share his testimony and it literally was sooooo good. Then we had an institute with sister dirggs and she is so cool. We talked about covenants, and it was a really good reminder for me about the power of my covenants. Anyway, all and all, super good day!!

Pov it is Saturday, and I need to catch up.

Ok so not much I feel like has happened. We found out that Rafael and his partner are not married. Dang it. We haven't been able to really set up appointments sadly. Butt that is ok. We did lots of service at a catholic church. That was fun. But hopefully our friends come to church
