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 checking a semi right behind us, fun times😅

As for a spiritual thought, I know I've shared this a lot lately, but I can't help but be amazed by covenants and the Abrahamic covenant. We are super blessed to be able to make covenants with the Lord and become a part of the covenant that He made with His ancient people. I like especially Abraham 2:9

9 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee above measure, and make thy name great among all nations, and thou shalt be a blessing unto thy seed after thee, that in their hands they shall bear this ministry and Priesthood unto all nations;

We can be a part of this!! I invite you guys to study the Come Follow Me if you're not already doing it, the Old Testament and Pearl of Great Price are full of amazing stories and promises of the Lord that can apply to us today!!

Love you guys though!! Let me know how you're doing!!

Hasta la proxima

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...
