Hello Everyone Oct 28, 2019

This was a good week! On Saturday we did a Capilla Abierta )kinda like
an open house for the church), and it went really well! we invited the
hermanas from la loma and the elders from solis Pizarro to help us,
and the ward members did a ton to help as well. We had banners and
signs and everyone was invited to come and see inside the church and
have the members of the church explain what goes on.

It went so well, and we met some great people who have been looking
for a church, and I think the members loved it too.

This week we did divisiones with rosario de lerma, and I was with my
man Elder Benites. He's a great missionary and I always learn a lot
from him.

This week while contacting it was super hot and I was honestly over
it, but I learned a lesson about the need to be diligent when the last
house we talked to was an amazing person who wanted to hear our
message. It was very humbling, and I learned that we are in constant
need of seeking God's will and following it.

Last week a lady stopped us in the street and asked us to come and
teach her son. We were not expecting that, but we were happy to set up
an appointment and we passed by yesterday. This family is amazing! God
has prepared them for his restored Gospel,
and after teaching them we invited them to be baptized and they said
yes. Their little girl told me, Ï feel good when you guys come to
teach me¨. I know that we are just the messengers in this work. God
knows, and prepares his children, and will guide us to those who are
waiting.

I hit 16 months this week, and it feels like I got here yesterday.

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

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
