Week 43: Achievement Unlocked: The Double Headed Dragon

-

 Yoo wsg yall! I hope you all have had a good week this past week. 


This past Tuesday we had exchanges and I went on exchanges with an Elder from Mexico. It was super fun only talking in Spanish all day again lol. I found out he used to be in a mariachi band and he taught me how to play a song called "Fuentes de Ortiz" on the guitar. 

This past Thursday we had a super good teaching day. We left with 3 different members at different times during the day and none of our lessons fell through! 

Ok now for the title of the email, if you get grossed out by sicknesses or bodily fluids do NOT read this next part. 

(Message to my trainer) Elder Anderson, I didn't believe the stories of the double headed dragon were real and I thought they were myths. Oh boy was I wrong. 

Saturday night we ate a lot of food. We ate lasagna and I had like 4-5 slices of pizza. That being said, I woke up at 4:30 Sunday morning feeling super sick. I was in and out of the bathroom having fluids coming out of 2 different places ifykyk. I also had sharp pains in my stomach all day so my comp and I stayed at home all day. I watched every single movie on the gospel library app.

I got a health blessing from the other Elders in my house and the words he said were super powerful and I knew they were just what I needed to hear. 

Some members in our ward made us some chicken noodle soup as well 👌 

As of right now I am feeling better. The mission doctor put me on a 12 hour diet where I can only drink fluids and take a certain medicine every 5 hours. 

Spiritual Thought: 3 John 1:2-4

2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth

This was a scripture that a member sent us when I was sick but I think it's powerful.  

3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

The lord loves when we walk in truth and righteousness and he is there to help us when we fall. He has no greater joy than when he sees us doing what is right and following him. 

Love yall!

WEEK 18: Achievement Unlocked: Happy New Year!!

 Feliz Año!!  I'm not gonna lie the New Year was CRAZY here. There were fireworks going off literally everywhere. All along the horizon and people were lighting fireworks off in front of our house so they were above us too. It was awesome.  There are these things here called munigotes and they are paper machete statues of every USA thing you could think of and at the end of the year they fill them up with dynamite and just light them off in the streets. We weren't able to watch any unfortunately because we had to be in our house at 6pm yesterday.  Last night we played 5 crowns because one of the elders in my house brought it from home and we had sparkling cider as well. It was super cool because that's what my family at home ended up doing for new years as well. It was cool to live that tradition 4000 miles away lol. We had transfers this past week and I am still in my same area in the peninsula with my Guatemalan companion AND we're finally not in a trio anymore....

Week 99: ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: BOM Miracle

  Wsg yall  First off I just wanna say that the Book of Mormon is TRUE. Like holy cow every single time I read it there is no doubt in my mind that God truly called prophets to the Americas and he called them to write their history and dealings with God  Increíble  This week we contacted a evangelist-Christian with the BOM. We asked her if her kids wanted to accompany us in the lesson but she said no because they follow her and her religion. She explained to us that she already knew Christ and that she didn't need to know more about him. We offered to give her the BOM and she said, "No but please give it to someone who has an open heart and is willing to listen to your message" So we left.  A couple minutes later a truck pulled up next to us and called us over. He explained to us that he was the son of the lady we contacted and he said, "Give me the Book, I want to read it" WHATTT milagraso.  1 Nephi 14:1-2 1 And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles ...

WEEK 29: Achievement Unlocked: The Office

  This week started off like normal. A little slow, not really teaching anybody, the usual. My comp and I started making plans on how to improve the sector and we were talking about writing a song because we got permission to play guitar throughout the week.  This week was also transfer week. My comp and I didn't think much of it because we white washed the sector, which means we both started at the same time. We hopped on a call and I heard, "Elder Johnson has transfers". WHAT. How the heck do I have transfers? I was distraught, sad, angry. I didn't want to leave the sector or live with new elders and a new companion. I also had only been in my sector for 1 transfer. I eventually said bye to all the members, and packed my bags.  Transfer day. We drove to the office and I was nervous. I didn't know where I was going or who I would be put with. The way transfers work here is that the zone leaders tell you that you have transfers, but you don't find out what you...
