Week 23

 Whats up guys que dice la vida, this week was lowky crazy. I got moved to a new area and it's so close to the beach so I'm so pumped!


I'm now in Zecatela, PUERTO ESCONDIDO!!!! That's right, I'm at a world famous surfing spot, this is SO LIT.  This area is massive so it's been a little hard to go from 200 people to 20000 people but I'm relearning  everything and it's awesome cuz I get to strengthen the things I struggled with AND THE OCEAN IS RIGHT THERE.

The couple we married in Xochistlan finally got put on date right when I left but that's ok cuz the wife is getting baptized next week!!!

The members here are super old, pretty sure they all retired so sacrament meeting went from chasing 80 kids around the capilla to listening to an old guy give wisdom over the pulpit... but not the entertaining kind we have in general conference. Either way it's gonna be lit.

We definitely have our work cut out for us because right now we don't have too many people progressing. 

On our last day eating in Xochistlan, one of the best families in the ward made us HAMBURGERS. She is so awesome, i'm gonna miss them a lot. Also I just realized i'm about to hit 6 months in total and that means i've done a fourth of my mission... WHAT.

Don't have too much time, just want to say that I know that Christ lives. I know that this church is true and I know that God has a plan for us. Through promises to the lord we can be saved as long as it is done with the right authority. 

Love yall

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...
