Lessons from the Great and the not so Great

Image
  ¡Hola a todos!   Ha sido una semana salvaje una vez más.  (Translation for those that don't Español)  Hello there!  It has been a wild week once more.   To clarify I don't speak Spanish but my phone does, and we have had to use it quite a few times to talk to people. Then we would pass them along to the Spanish Sisters. It has been cool.  So this week was something that is for sure. The first part of the week was amazing, and the last part of the week was still great just less so. It was more difficult. But that perfectly ties into what I have been learning this week and what I need to apply into my life. Let's start with the good stuff and then we will get into the lessons God is teaching me, and I'm trying to learn.  P-day.  I know I don't talk much about this day of the week, but it was great! The Elders and I went Top Golfing. Yes we did wear Proselytizing clothes, and no we will not talk about the points, but it was fun. At t...

Service with a Smile 😁 August 1, 2022

  Hello ye people of the Lord,  This week was a crazy week again, so throw on your reading glasses and let's get started! What a blessing this week has been and I'm grateful for the lessons God is trying to teach me. I do my best to see what He would have me see.  I guys we will start at the climax of crazy that happened this week.  It all began on nights as I was writing in my journal. I got a call from the AP's (assistants to the President). They called and asked if we were ready for some news. We told them yes and they told us the news, obviously. They told us that we were getting another companion and would have to pick him and his current companion up the next day. And so the excitement began.  Got up ready for a new day excited what would happen. As we are studying for the day we get a call from our Mission President asking how we were doing and where we were. We told him that we were studying, he then asked if we knew about our interviews. We were confuse...

Can I get one of those Blue books ? July 25, 2022

  Hello there!  Greetings to all those that read this email!  I hope it is everyone that is on the list. One more week passes by in the mission, and I am surprised that this week went by super fast. I think I said that in the last email but this one was even faster. With the week passing so quickly I can't really remember what happened other than good times and blessings.  Last P-day we went bowling with the other Elders in the district. It was great first game I was great, and we won't talk about the second game.  We stopped by the house where we are teaching the kids on the porch. (The ones that memorized the plan of salvation) We Taught one of them the steps we need to live by to live with God again. It was awesome and after we gave him the Pamphlet he asked if he could get one the those blue books too, (The Book of Mormon). Got to teach him what the Book of Mormon is and where is came from, and we has excited to read it. Keep in mind he is about 10. We came ...

End of Transfer 4 begin Transfer 5 July 18, 2022

  Hello Everyone!  I honestly don't know where this week went. It went by so quickly, so if anyone knows where this week went please let me know I'm still looking for it.  Thus week has been good. Also if you see a thus instead this I'm sorry weird auto correct. Thus this happens every once in awhile and I don't catch it all the time, but sometimes I leave it in because why not.  It is already the end of the transfer, and I'm staying no big news there. I still feel like Thus transfer just started, but know it is gone. Sorry if I'm am rambling, I ramble. I'll start with yesterday because that was on my mind.  Sunday was a good day, it always is when you can go to church, that never changes. But this week something did change I was one of the speakers. Most people would probably not want to give a talk, but I love it. I love being given the opportunity to share what I know and my testimony, it is also nice when no one can interrupt me. I talked about love shar...

Return of the Missionary July 11, 2022

Image
  Hello Everyone!  Now before I talk about the craziness of this week, I want to know. With the title witch one were you thinking about  1.) Return of the Jedi   Or  2.) Return of the King   I want to know which one first popped into your head.  Also just throw it out there that yesterday was six months from when I was set apart to do this great work and feel these blessings. So I was out and about this week, and not inside the entire time. Had a lot of great experiences, but this week was still hard. Every week as a missionary is hard, but is full of blessings. Even if you can't see them they are always there. I recommend that every one should serve  a mission because of what it does for others and who you start to become. And this week some of the blessings were more noticeable.  I suppose that I should start with the day that was most likely my favorite day on the mission. It was a long one, but let's get started. Thursday we had distric...

May the 4th be... OOPS wrong month! July 4, 2022

 Hello Everyone,  Happy 4th of JULY everyone!  Yes I do know what month it is I think. This will probably be my shortest email. I say probably although I think you all know that I love to write.  I would like you ask you all a question, and then I'll answer it. Are you ready? I'm not but here we go. Here is the actual question: If your life was a TV show, what show would it be? My answer would be I'm not sure. But I would think that it would be Phineas & Ferb because it's summer, and every moment is worth it's weight in gold. Because this summer is the world's best story and it is waiting to be told. And this past week wasn't the exciting part of the story.  This whole past week I was not feeling great and stayed in the apartment the entire week. Now you see why this email will probably be short. You might be asking yourself or me, and I just can't hear you, What do you do with all that time? While I slept a lot, and when I wasn't sleeping I was...
