Hola a todos! Como estamos?? Hope everyone's doing awesome!! Just wanted to give a quick update:

Our friends Miguel and Christopher were baptized yesterday!! It was super special, they've had a lot of difficulties, but were able to be baptized just after 3 weeks of lessons!!👀🌊

We finished off the transfer super strong, we had 48 friends in church here in the zone, it was a great week!!🔥

Transfer news: I'll be staying here in Cañas with Elder Lopez for another transfer, I'm super hyped, its going to be a blast!! We've been working super hard, were going to see a lot of miracles this transfer🙌

There's a store here called Mister Donut that's been selling at half price for the month of September and everyone's buying and selling them everywhere. Let's just say I've had wayyyy too many donuts this past transfer😅

Spiritual Thought: 
Something that's stood out to me lately is the power of a good attitude. We started reading the Book of Mormon as a mission, and right now we're in the book of Nephi. Something that's stood out to me is the difference of Laman, Lemuel, and Nephi. Basically, what it comes down to is that Laman and Lemuel's first reaction was to complain, while Nephi first sought the will of God. For those who are unfamiliar with the story, later on Nephi's family and descendants are blessed, while those of Laman and Lemuel rebelled against God and were cursed. All of that stemmed from their first reaction; there's power in having a good attitude and not complaining, even when life is hard!

That's about it though! Let me know how things are going for you, love you guys!🫶

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...
