HOME MTC

  Hola!!!

     First week and a half of Home MTC (missionary training center for those that don't speak LDS yet) is finally over! It's been an absolutely crazy couple of days! It was a little hard to stay awake sometimes (thank goodness for breaks) but I've learned so much already. I woke up early on the first day to study and I was able to memorize a prayer in Spanish. So when I was called on to give the first opening prayer of the first day and I did it in Spanish my whole district started to panic because they thought they had to be able to speak already haha lo siento. During a few of our zoom calls our instructor's computer died and zoom made me the host every time so I had all the power. My boy Elder Moberly left yesterday so me and the boys got together one last time for the next 2-3 years, not sad at all because we are all serving missions!!!! ALSO, I'm 19 now :) My parents got me this super cool BOM that's both English and Spanish(and an awesome cheesecake). We also got some beautiful ties, my personal favorites are the pink shark tie (thanks Gage), the lego tie (your welcome Ben) and the plan of salvation tie (space tie). So excited to get to Mexico tomorrow! 

           I absolutely love this gospel and while I'm not perfect in study habits I've already gained a stronger testimony of our loving redeemer Jesus Christ and our Father in heaven. I've seen his hand so many times in my life just this week and I know this gospel is true because of it. I can bear witness and testimony that no matter how hard something seems, God giveth no commandment, trial or task that we can't do unless he provides a way for us to do it. (1 Nephi 3:7).

Week 6 from Oaxaca

  Bendiciones!!!!!  This week has easily been the hardest week yet. Saying goodbye to the CCM family was crazy difficult but I'm so happy that we are all in field now!  The last night at the CCM our flight was set for 2AM... who does that... it's a 1 hour flight... Why 2am? So no one slept at all, we all just stayed up talking and playing cards. Once we got to Oaxaca we all crashed in a hotel and slept for four hours.  Currently I am in Juchitán, Xochixlon 3 area! This place is crazy because all non-member adults are the laziest people ever, but the niños... they are so awesome!! We have about 7 people on date for next week right now (2 of which were placed by us) and they are all under 15... nice. These kids are awesome, we will be sitting on the street teaching on and then all of a sudden 7 more pull up out of nowhere and listen in. It's so awesome how strong these kids' spirits are. The way we find these kids is through a game called Trumpo. It's basically a top ...

Week 12

   Bendiciones!!! One of our members tried to kill me. She fed us this amazing food that's basically everything delicious... in a massive fried chilly... I don't have a good spice tolerance. This was definitely a week of miracles! As we dedicated ourselves more and put effort where needed through prayer, we saw God step in and cover what we couldn't.  What I mean:  1. First story is about a kid named Angel. He's friends with our amazing member-nonmember, Alexis, that's how we found him. We had been teaching him for a while, but he wasn't really progressing, so we were close to dropping him. I kept having this feeling each time I thought about him to go and contact him. One day we planned on simply dropping the ball with him, as in he can choose whether to keep meeting with us with the intent of going to church or we were going to stop passing by.... He now has a baptismal date lol. What happened was he was so caught up on believing the same things as his family ...

WEEK 14

Feliz Navidad a todos!! This week and a half have been a little crazy. Have to admit, we were not able to do too much because we had a lot of small-time consuming things to do with our members.  We had 2 more baptisms at the beginning of the week!!! I've spoken about Christian quite a bit, he is a miracle. On the day of his baptism (he was more excited for this than Christmas) we could NOT find him. His mom was not responding and like an hour before his baptism we just decided to run up there and check, HE WASN'T THERE! After we panicked and prayed his mom finally called us... and guess where he was. Bro's grandpa straight up drove him to the church without telling us, so while we were about to start panicking, he was just chilling at the empty church. In the end it was great because we got to teach his grandpa about baptism. Angel's story (our other miracle) has been talked about too but just to recap... his family is heavily based in the catholic traditions, which ang...
