Oyyy! Buenas tardes a todos, como estan? Perdón que no he escrito, pero aqui estoy!!

First off, happy Morthers Day!! Hope you all had a great one, thank you to all those that are mothers for your hard work and love🫶

The last couple of weeks have been awesome! Full of miracles of finding people, people coming to church, and our friend Justin was able to get baptized!! 🌊

The coolest part of the baptism was His friend (our recent convert) was able to do the baptism. It was his first time, and he was super nervous, but he did a great job and it was really special to see🙌

We have a couple more friends on date for here soon, please keep Marciel and David in your prayers🤝

I think I'm pretty used to being a missionary now... I'm finding that nothing quite satisfies me anymore like having a really spiritual lesson or being guided to find really cool people. Is there such a thing as being a spiritual addict?😅

The funny:
  - A drunk guy started running after us on exchanges with the DL, second time I've had to run from a drunk in the mission😂
  - Met a guy from Boston, he had a crazy accent and tried to convince us that Adam and Eve were aliens, invited us to research about some "emerald plates" 
  - The Bishop totally sideswiped someone's car when we went to get Justin for his baptism😅... luckily there wasn't any damage, had a good laugh about it afterwards

Spiritual thought:
This past week, we got the opportunity to go to the temple! The Spirit is always incredible, I'm super excited to go to the temple as often as I can when I get back. 
I love in Come Follow Me how we've been studying about the ancient tabernacle that Moses and the Israelites made. A verse in Exodus 25 puts it perfectly:

8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

Temples are a sign that the Lord dwells among us. I invite you to learn about them and go as often as you can, and I can promise that you will feel the Spirit more powerfully in your life

That's about it though! Time is passing by fast. Love you all though, hope you have a great week, let me know how you are!

  Hola, como estan?? Esta semana fue super loca , a lot went down this past week To start off, sorry it's been a while, I sent an email last week but I don’t think it ever went through.... so just for a quick recap, I got transferred to an area called La Espiga, where I'm covering a ward and a group, and I'm also a trainer, training Elder Godfrey!  Training has been fun and interesting. Let me just sum it up in one conversation we had... the gist of it was me asking "where are the norms (missionary standards handbook) that they gave you?" His reply was "I never got those"  It's been fun though, he's doing well and learning pretty fast, even though some days he makes me want to pull my hair out (I suppose that’s why they call it having a kid in the mission ) The work is going great over here, we have a lot of people progressing and a couple fechas (baptism dates) here pretty soon! There were some crazyyyyy stuff that went down this past week thoug...

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...

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...
