WEEK 38: Achievement Unlocked: A baby

Image
  What's up yall! The titles a little weird but I hit 9 months on the mission and thats how long it takes to have a baby.. anyways let's move on the the week lol.  This past week we had to present at another zone conference and I got to see more of the elderes. It was super sick! This week I recorded a music video that I sang with another Elder named Elder Johnson as well. It's pretty fire and I'll put some sneak peaks on my Google photos  Other than that we did the normal missionary stuff, taught, sent references, and studied lol.  Sorry for the short email, but I don't have too much time ✌️ Chau!! 

WEEK 37: Achievement Unlocked: Templo pt. 2

  🌄 😴  GOOD MORNING YALLL WE BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHA EMAIL!!  This last Tuesday we had zone conference and I had to give a presentation and it was awesome. President gave us the invitation to find our favorite scriptures about the atonement of Jesus Christ and then to write a talk about it. I also saw my boy Elder Bullock. (Shoutout to him)  We also went to the temple this week! We went with the missionaries from the peninsula, and it was so much fun. I started to get a stye on my eye and it really hurt to close my eye or blink. My comp told me in the temple it was starting to get bigger. I said a prayer in the temple asking for my eye to be healed and as soon as I left the temple It didn't hurt anymore and I haven't had problems with it since. Small miracle 💪 When we left the temple as well I was able to see the Bishop in one of my old wards and a couple member including converts! It was so fun to see and talk with them again. They told me I talk a lot more ...

  Yooo wsg yall 🫱🫲🫸🫷🤜🤛 Honestly I can't believe it's Monday again but then I look back at photos from Tuesday and it feels like an eternity ago. Ifykyk Happy Mothers Day!! Shoutout to all my motherly figures in my life and all the mothers in the world! I have learned so much from my mom in my life and she's just the best. I got to call her yesterda and it was awesome. (I don't like Bible bashing but I will bash about how my mom is better than your mom 🥷🤺) This week has been pretty stressful with the references we do in the offices. We have been getting super backed up and haven't had much time to go to the offices so this week we have to do references for almost 3 hours everyday this week.  I had an exchange with a boliviano this week and we contacted in my sector for a good 3ish hours. It was super fun because we didn't go into the offices and I love walking around my sector and talking to people.  We also don't have many people to teach in my area....

  Gooood morning yall.  This past week I said goodbhe to my companion, Elder Obando, and now I have a new companion, Elder Torres from México city! I am super excited to work hard with him this transfer.  My comp has already taught me so much this transfer with different was to study and teach and I'm super excited to just pop of teaching with him lol.  It was super sad to say bye to my old companion and the missionaries in my district but you just gotta, "Keep Moving Forward" yk?  Also, Happy Star Wars Day! I'm living with another Elder from Washington who loves star wars so we just rehearsed the anakin and Obi-Wan fight like 20 times.  Also happy anniversary to my parents!  Congrats  on 20 years 👏 🙌  Other than that nothing much really happened this week. I'm training my comp in the offices and he's pretty slow but hopefully he'll pick it up soon.  Spiritual thought:  Alma 38 4 For I know that thou wast in bonds; yea, and I also...

WEEK 34: Achievement Unlocked: Consejo de Líderes

Image
  Gooooood morning everybody!  This week was another super fast week and I honestly don't know where all the time goes.  On Tuesday we had interviews with President and it was pretty good. After I had Exchanges with Elder Coronado. He is from Quito Ecuador and has 2 months on the mission. We bought wings and a burrito and the burrito compares with a chicken burrito from Costa Vida (I miss Costa Vida 🤌🫶) On Thursday some guys came over and switched the sink faucet and now there's no room to fill up my water bottle because of how long the faucet it.  On Friday we had the Leadership counsel. This is a counsel with Presiden, the APs, and all the zone leaders in the mission. And us lol. It was a super cool meeting because we talked about the mission and how we can help the elders and sisters and how we can improve the mission. I loved it.  Afterwards, we ate lunch and I was able to talk with the zone leaders and some friends I've made in the mission.  Last Sat...
