I leave on Monday!!

Hola Amigos y familia!

´I am called of God. My authority is above that of the king of the earth. By revelation, I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and he has chosen me to represent him, to stand in his place, to say and do what he himself would say and do if he personally were ministering to the very people to whom he has sent me. My voice is his voice, and my acts are his acts; my words are his words and my doctrine is his doctrine. My commision is to do what he wants done. To say what he wants said. To be a living modern witness in word and deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter day work.¨ - Bruce R McConkie

I love this quote so much, and especially this past week I've have realized how true it is. This is his work and his glory, and I am just a instrument in his hands. 

ALMA 29,9

Also lately I have a stonger testimony of the priesthood and that it has been restored in these latter days. By the power of the priesthood, the universe was created, and if we are worthy, God has trusted man with the powers of heaven. i have a greater desire to be living in a way that at any moment, I could stop what I was doing and give a blessing. My future wife and family deserve that and I hope I am always striving to be able to provide my home with the presence of priesthood power. By the power of the priesthood families can truly be together for eternity!

I want to be the kind of person that others are going to want to know Christ because they know me

I am so excited to leave for Argentina on Monday! This past week we had the oppurtunity to facetime, one on one someone from our country, and my person had never met with the missionaries!  I was his first introduciotn to the church and that was daunting but It was so cool and their accent is so different but I felt like I understood so much!

We said goodbye to our teacher Hermana Lopez and she has been so influential these past month. She is a living testament of Jesus Christ and has been an example to me

I need to be better about after prayers to listen with the intent to obey. And when I have, I am able to notice the promptings so much more

Also Jesus Christ loves all of us the same, but he trusts us differently. And I always have that in the back of my mind so that I am living in manner that he can trust me, and more importantly, I need to trust him

Love you all, and the next time I write ill be in Argentina! Adios!

Dengue Fever May 20,2019

FEVER. This week i got pretty sick with a high fever. It started to take its toll in Lunch in a members house, and everyone started to say it was Dengue and that i should go to the Doctor! Seeing as there is a dengue EPIDEMIC here in northern Argentina I figured they could be right and we went to the doctor to check my blood. Were still waiting for the results, but i feel all good now so don't worry, I don't have Dengue! I was in bed for most of the day Wednesday but I asked Elder Gonzalez for a blessing and I'm feeling a lot better!  Wednesday was his birthday, so naturally I made him some banana bread (the only thing I kinda know how to make haha) GOD IS GOOD. We are teaching this amazing family right now and I just love them. They live in this abandoned warehouse that doesn't have electricity and they are the happiest people I know! They know they don't have much but they realize that its not the things in life that are important.  they have their family, which i

Already Two Weeks!

Que Pasa Calabazas! I cant believe its been two weeks here. Ever since the first day time has flown by! The language was coming so quickly and I learned so much in the first week, I just need to make sure that I keep learning and dont get stagnant. Also things have gotten into a rythm here so its jsut been a blur!  On thursday, it was our last lesson with daniela and it went really well. I feel like we followed the spirit and were able to answer her questions about baptism! Friday We prepared for our next people we are teaching, Ignasio and Salma! we also did a service project during gym time and that was awsome!  Saturday, We had our first lesson with ignasio and we learned alot! we kinda overwhelmed him with info when we should have realized that he had a limited knowledge of God. It was still great though and we testified of what we knew to be true. Sunday was great and we learned a lot about aligning our will with the will of God. Also Our district leader was appoint

The Holy Ghost Nov 25, 2019

So a lot happened this week but more than anything, my testimony of the power of the Holy ghost was strengthened. We have been teaching this lady named Elizebeth. Well she came to church this Sunday and she offered to say the last prayer in her class and started to cry. Elder pekins and I saw it from a distance and he gave me a fat hug haha we were so happy for her. She felt the spirit in that moment and later shared with us how she received an answer that the Book of Mormon is true. After a lesson with her she asked, "so when can we put a date for my baptism?" We were amazed! That's normally something we invite the people to do, but I guess the spirit beat us to it. And that's how it should be I guess, because conversion comes through the Holy Ghost. Also shout out to my companion for always being intune with the spirit. One night we were looking for a family, couldn't find them, and so we asked people if they knew anyone we could visit that needed a mes
