Paintballing, and Elder Lopez

 Hey everyone!! Como están?? Usually I start off with apologizing that it's been a while, but I guess I don't have to this week😂. Just a couple things!

1. The work here has been awesome! We're super busy, some days running to our lessons because we don't have time, I've been loving it though!

2. This week we're getting a visit from Elder Casillas, a general 70, it's going to be hype!!

3. Our friend Eimy is on date to be baptized this Saturday! She has such and incredible testimony, it's been an amazing experience to be able to teach her. I love the scripture D&C 50:22
22 Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together.
So true!! We've "rejoiced together," I testify that this is a gospel of joy!!

4. Went paintballing for the first time, it was a blast!! Couple good bruises, loved it though 🙌

5. I've just about finished reading Jesus the Christ. This will be my spiritual thought as well, but I loved the chapter that explains the apostasy. Something we teach as missionaries is that Christ left His church here on the earth, but that it was lost. And it was lost, there was and is so much confusion of what should be the simple doctrine of Christ.  Because of this, it was necessary that His gospel was restored. And I testify that it has been restored! I testify that Christ lives, that we can overcome the confusion of the world through Him and His restored gospel. I love and am grateful for this chance that I have to testify of Him and help people change their lives!!

Hope you guys are doing awesome though!! Thanks as always for the thoughts, messages, and prayers. Let me know how you are, and have a great week!!

Elder Bagley

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...
