No Greater Work on Earth! 3 Bautismos! Feb 11,2019

This week was so good

It started out when I found out that a family I had taught in last area (Villa Alem) got baptized! It was such an amazing experience, to have seen their progress throughout my time there, and then to finally see them enter the waters of baptism! Pretty special moment. I have so much love for them and for our Father in Heaven, whose work this is. (FOTOS Below)

Tambien! This week we baptized David, Juan y Silvio! They are the kids of a part member family that is beginning to come back to church. They are wild, and a lot of fun, and it was great to experience their baptisms with them! they literally hunt birds while we walk to church with them haha

This week we worked on following the promptings of the spirit, and found two families that called out to us as we were walking! Mormones! or Elderes! it was cool to have been in the right moment to find them, and one of them met with the missionaries a long time ago and the other got baptized but left the church for a while. Now we're teaching them and helping them return to the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Tormenta Blanca. This week our zone went to a small town that hasn't had missionaries in 20 years, and just contacted and visited houses there! It was really cool and we found a lot of amazing people to teach. 

I ATE a chunk of soup concentrate thinking that it was a caramel so that was pretty stupid 

We also did divisiones with the Elders in Pichanal so Elder Gonzales was in Embarcacion with me and we found some really good families to teach. hes from Mexico and actually knows a lot of English so I helped him with that and he with my Spanish. I learned a lot from him and it was a good day with a lot of lessons. 

Sunday I gave a talk in church, and it was longer than my talks ever were in English back home haha. cool to see the progress and have the opportunity. 

GOD is our Father and he LOVES us. 
As we come to know him, we want to become like him
Everything he has done, is doing and will do is because he loves us. 

This is truly the greatest work on earth. I'm grateful for this opportunity I have to serve my God, and invite others to come unto Christ and find happiness in him. 
There is no better way to live

-Elder Blackburn

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

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

Jesucristo Basta- April 22, 2019

This week was amazing. We are working pretty hard in an area that's pretty hard, but in my 3 months here I've seen a change and I know the Lord has big plans for his children here in Embarcacion. Some Experiences from this week. As we were walking in the street we heard a huge rumbling in the distance, and we couldn't figure out what it was. It sounded like a crowd cheering or something like that.  After a little bit we realized that it was RAIN! And it was coming FAST. The streets turned to mud in seconds and we began running from literal wall of rain. WE got soaked but ran to a nearby house of someone we are teaching! Another day we were walking and a little girl in front of us was with her family. She turned around and asked us about the people that hurt Jesus. We had never talked to them before, but she seemed to recognize us as servants of the Lord, and we began talking to her and her family about Christ, and our message, and we set up another appointme
