Baptisms!
The duo back together again🔥 (also the only Halloween-related anything I've seen down here😂)

District pdays👇


Hey, como estan?? Sorry I hopped off the email streak, just wanted to give a little update:

First off, General Conference was absolutely amazing!! The messages were incredible, I loved Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Eyring's talks especially. We're blessed to have prophets and apostles today to guide us, I invite you to go rematch the Conference if you didn't get the chance!!

We had a couple fire district Pdays, went to an Air Force Museum and Lago Ilopango, I'll throw in some pictures.

Got to go to the temple with district 5G from the CCM!! It was a blast, love those guys. Also, got to be companions with Elder Anhder (my CCM comp) for the day, such a beast🙌

This past Saturday we had 2 baptisms!! Our friends Juan and Anibal got baptized, they were a bit nervous but at the end it all went great, the spirit was super strong!!

Spiritual thought:
One quote I really loved from conference was from Elder Uchtdorf. He said:

"The fire of yesterday’s testimony can warm us for only so long." 

So true! It's both an invitation to remember the spiritual experiences we've had, and always strive to create new ones. I can testify that reading the scriptures and praying daily, and partaking of the sacrament every week will help us with that, no matter what challenges we may be facing. I testify of living prophets as well!

Hope you're all doing awesome though!! Have a great Halloween, hasta la proxima!

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...
