 Hola everybody! Como están?

Man what a week!! Don't have a whole lot of time, so I'll just give a quick rundown:

Not to make two emails in a row about fish... but I had the most interesting lunch out here yet in the mission, went to a members house for seafood (crab, catfish, shrimp, and more, it was crazy, definitely throw in a pic) but the best part was we got to help make it too! Got to help dress and cook the fish and shrimp, definitely not something I thought I would learn on the mish😂

Also this week, we had a lot of miracles with people coming to church! With the other two elders, and with the help of an amazing member, we had more than 16 friends and inactive members come on Sunday, it was amazing!!

I've also been a missionary for just about 4 months!! Man the time flies by, still feel like I just got here.

As for spiritual, gotta stick with the theme of thanksgiving week. I was reading and found a great scripture in D&C which says:
And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.
I'm sure you've all heard this a million times, but it's super true! I promise you guys that bring grateful for what you have in this moment will open up opportunities for more blessings and miracles in your life, "even an hundred fold." 

Enjoy Thanksgiving though!! Hope you guys all have an amazing week, as always, feel free let me know how things are going for you!! 

Until next time

First comp pic with Elder Cook Welcome back to the country Hola a todos, como estamos?? Here's a couple things that have gone down here in the past couple weeks First up, transfers hit super hard. After 6 months in Las Cañas I was transferred to a pueblito (little town) called San Rafael. It's clear across the mission, in the Usulutan zone. Ngl, it was super sad to leave Las Cañas and all of the converts there, and unfortunately we weren't able to leave with another baptism, but we did leave 7 dates for this month of February!! This area couldn't be more different than my last; there I was in the city, and now it's open country. I came from a ward, and now we're trying to start a branch down here (super crazy stuff), and now I'm with Elder Cook who's in his 3rd transfer, so it's a blast!! Definitely a different type of challenge, but it's going to be fun. As for a spiritual thought, I've been studying recently in the New Testament, and I just...

Elder Jensen An awesome puzzle (thank you Herrin family!!) Caroling with the district No bake cookies   Hola a todos!! Feliz Navidad!!! I hope you guys were able to spend some time with family and learned a lot about Christ and His birth!! Let me know what you guys did!! Everything is going great down here!! I have a new companion, Elder Jensen from Idaho, he's such a beast, it's been a blast.  Hermana Marta was baptized as well!! Now the familia Salguero has 5 converts, it's been such a blessing to know them! Just wanted to reach out and wish you guys a Merry Christmas!! As for a quick spiritual thought, we were blessed to be able to read Luke 2 about the birth of Christ a lot over the past 2 days, it's for sure one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Every time I read it, no matter how many times, it always brings peace and joy. Yesterday and today we celebrate the most anticipated moment in all of the history of the world!  Thanks to Him, we can have peace. Thanks t...

Zona Usulutan Exchanges with Elder Hunter Some area photos Holaaa a todos! Como estan?? It's been a little while, thought I'd give a quick run down of what's been going on: 1. Had 5 friends at church this past week!! (Finally!! ) It's about at least a 45 minute drive to the church, so it was a super big miracle!! 2. Still don't have a house in our area, we might not have one this transfer. It's ok though, getting to know a bunch of cool people in the bus 3. Went to a future-missionary conference in San Miguel and got to see all of of my old friends and converts from Moncagua, it was super awesome seeing them after a year!! 4. About the title: Let's just say to get home in the night time we've waited for a bus 5 times, but 3 of the 5 times random strangers have stopped and given us rides . They've led to 2 cool conversations about how they met the missionaries before, and only 1 near death experience with a drowsy driver playing and purposely brake ch...
