WEEK 96: Achievement Unlocked: Nocha Blanca

-

 Wsg yall, I bet you weren't expecting an email today 😤


Neither was I but let's get Into it. 

I started my last transfer of the mission about 2 weeks ago. I stayed in my area with my companion E' Obando. I am super grateful to have had the opportunity to serve out here in the península. This is my 6th transfer in total out here because I started my mission here and now I'm ending in the same zone. 

This past Saturday we had a Noche blanca (White night) in our ward. A Noche blanca is when 4 or more people get baptized in the same night. An hour before started we got a text from our friend who was going to get baptized saying that he didn't think he was prepared to get baptized. We immediately hopped in a members car and started driving to his house. The only problem was that we had no idea where he lived because we always taught him in his grandma's house. (His grandma was also going to get baptized) 

So, In the car we said a prayer asking heavenly father to guide us in the streets so that we could find our friend Freddy. We drove around for about 5 minutes and then we found him walking in the street! The whole time I had the story of Nephi running through my mind. 

1 Nephi 4:6 
6 And I was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do.

I love this scripture because it shows us that sometimes we aren't going to get huge spiritual impressions telling us which street to go to, or which door we need to knock at the right time. 

One thing I learned this week is that if we are doing the right things and being obedient, the lord will guide us to where we need to be and when during his perfect timing. 

This week I have a leadership council on Tuesday and zone conference on Thursday. We got our new mission president this week so I will get to meet him.  

I love yall so much! Love God. Love People.

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...
