Hey!

Good things are happening here in Palermo.

We did splits with Ciudad de Milagro and the assistents so it was a
kinda busy week!

Elder Bustos and I have been praying to find a family that God has
prepared to hear the Gospel, and we have been having some great
experiences following the spirit! On Thursday we walked by this house
and saw two kids playing at the gate. As we passed them I had the
thought, ¨There lives the family you're looking for¨, and that we needed
to talk to them. But I didn't say anything because we were pressed for
time and I knew we could pass by later.

Well it just so happened that my companion had felt the same way and
was also thinking we could visit them later, till he had the thought,
¨No NOW!¨so he asked me if I had wanted to talk to them and we
realized we both had felt like we needed to talk to them right then.

We talked to the mom and she seemed interested and we set up an
appointment for next week! Who knows if they really are the family,
but we were able to follow the spirit that day.

Sunday afternoon I was with Elder Booze and we had some good lessons!
One house we  contacted had shouted something that sounded like COME
IN!but we weren't sure and they never came out to greet us. It was
super wack but finally we decided to send it and just walked in. We
entered the house and a huge fat man tells us to sit down and drink
some wine with him. We politely refused hahah and it turns out they
had talked to missionaries like 3 years ago. They seemed happy that
the Elders had passed by again and we invited them to church.

Katharine and Gonzalo were able to get everything set for there
wedding, and are planning for her baptism too so we are super excited
for them!

Well thats about it! Next week we have transfers but we think were
going to stay together for another 6 weeks but well see. Have a good
week!

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
