Found a cool train🙌
Andddd a couple cool flowers I found the past couple of days👇



 What's up everybody, how's it going?? Como estamos??

Just thought I'd give a quick update on life down here!! Last couple weeks of the last transfer were a bit rough, but I stayed here in Quezaltepeque and everything has picked back up!! Couple amazing miracles:

1. We have a friend that has known the missionaries for 16 months and has come to church over 50 times. She hasn't been able to be baptized for her living situation, but after all this time she's going to be able to be baptized this next Sunday!!! We're super hyped for her!!!

2. Had an incredible miracle this past Sunday, one of the old amigos of the missionaries here came to church out of the blue, and at the end of the meetings said he wanted to be baptized this Wednesday😅. I'll fill you all in on what goes down, but it was a crazy miracle, we've been working hard with him!!

As for spiritual, one thing that's been on my mind a lot lately is the power of the Holy Ghost. I like the scripture in 2 Nephi 32:5 
5 For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do
This promise is so true!! I've experienced it a lot, and I've also seen how it affects the lives of our recent converts, having the gift of the Holy Ghost really changes your life. I testify that it is a very necessary part of baptism, and is one of the greatest gifts we can receive from God!!

Anyways, it's been great down here!! Thank you guys for everything, love you all🫶 Lmk how life is going for you!!

Salud pues

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...
