Ryder's Mission

  Hey everyone! Thought I'd get an email out, here's a couple things going on! - Victor was baptized! He's the first person to be baptized in Tecoluca (a group, even smaller than a branch) for years, it was awesome!! - Tried cafe de maiz (coffee that is allowed) and it did not live up to the hype  Guess we'll be sticking to non-coffee beverages Honestly, that's about it. Lots of miracles here in the work! To finish off with a quick spiritual thought, I loved a talk by President Nelson called "The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again." He sharded: "When Wendy and I were on assignment in a distant land, armed robbers put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger. But the gun did not fire. Throughout that experience, both of our lives were threatened. Yet Wendy and I felt an undeniable peace. It was the peace “which passeth all understanding.” Brothers and sisters, the Lord will comfort you too! He will strengthen you. He will bless you with peace, even amids...

Elder Rodriguez, first day in the field   Last little bit with Elder Godfrey Exchange with my last brother in the mission (shoutout to Elder Moss, our trainer ) Thought this was hilarious, keep in mind we're in the middle of a city Hey hey everyone! Como estan?? Worked up the animo to send an email this week, sorry it's been a minute. But here's been some stuff going on Transfer news: My first kid, Elder Godfrey was transferred out. Not going to lie, it was a bit sad, it was a blast with him. But he has a Latino comp now to teach him spanish, so it'll be good for him Andddd (drum roll  .....) I'm training once again! My new companion is Elder Rodriguez from Nicaragua, he's a beast. When I first got the news about training, I was a bit bummed ngl cuz I wanted to work as hard as I could and run and fast as I could (figuratively and maybe literally speaking ) with the little time I have left. But my companion came super prepared, I hardly feel like I'm training...
