Week 17-18

   ¡Buenos días y bendiciones!



Por desafíos de uno de mis amigos, voy a hacer esta semana en español. VAMOS PUES!!!

Esta semana fue bien normal con la excepción de decir adiós a mi entrenador. El se fue a la ciudad de Oaxaca y ahora tengo un nuevo compañero! Se llama Elder Norseth, de la fábrica (Utah) y tiene todo ánimo para enseñar y bautizar. También él es nuestro líder de distrito entonces puedo aprender mucho este cambio!!!

El lunes y martes fue normal. Por la primera vez fue frío, solo por dos días pero fue increíble.

Tuvimos cambios miércoles y jueves entonces no pudimos trabajar mucho PERO, nuestro amigo Ronaldo terminó sus enseñanzas antes del bautismo y fue bautizado AYER!!!!! El solicitó bautizarlo pero necesitaba salir por la ciudad de MÉXICO por problemas con mi visa y no pude bautizarlo. Pero esta bien porque Elder Norseth es un GOAT y hizo todo para mi. 

Por esta semana he aprendido la importancia de confiar en Dios con todo en mi vida. Especialmente español. Sé que Dios está cuidando de mí y a través de la fe tengo en él, puedo ver milagros. El GOAT, Elder Reed Barlow digo, en todas las cosas hacemos cada día, necesitamos involucrar a dios. Cuando permitimos a Dios para ayudarnos, no hay nadie no podemos hacer. Sé que esto es verdad y puedo prometer esto en el nombre de Jesúcristo, Amén.

Además, para las personas que pueden leer esto, español es increíble, pero el zapoteco es mejor. Tica nagá!

In English
Good morning and blessings!


Due to a challenge from one of my friends, I'm going to do this week in Spanish. LET'S GO!!!

This week was pretty normal, except for saying goodbye to my trainer. He moved to Oaxaca City, and now I have a new partner! His name is Elder Norseth, from the factory in Utah, and he's so enthusiastic about teaching and baptizing. He's also our district leader, so I can learn a lot from this change!

Monday and Tuesday were normal. It was cold for the first time, only for two days, but it was amazing.

We had changes on Wednesday and Thursday, so we couldn't work much. BUT, our friend Ronaldo finished his teachings before baptism and was baptized YESTERDAY!!!!! He asked me to baptize him, but I needed to leave for Mexico City because of visa problems, so I couldn't baptize him. But it's okay because Elder Norseth is a GOAT and did everything for me.

This week I began to understand the importance of trusting God with everything in my life, especially in Spanish. I know God is watching over me, and through the faith I have in Him, I can see miracles. The GOAT, Elder Reed Barlow, said that in everything we do each day, we need to involve God. When we allow God to help us, there is nothing we cannot do. I know this is true, and I can promise this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Furthermore, for those who can read this, Spanish is amazing, but Zapotec is better. Tica nagá!

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...
