Week -25-26

 WHATS UP GUYS, 


How's it going, back at it again, puerto escondido, shaka-cada-fradashadamalakada 🤙🤙🤙🤙

This week was crazy, I don't think we've ever devoted more time to finding people ever before lol. Every day we spent almost 6 hours to straight finding and we found like 5 people lol. SUUUUUPER grateful for that but... for Mexico that's kind of not a lot. But these 5 people all have crazy stories and are, at least on some level, searching for truth. 

We ended up resorting to a game of chess and if we won, they had to listen. Ofc por el poder de dios ganamos, but they didn't want to listen still jajajajaja. 

Super short email, but I would love to share this quote from an apostle of the lord, Jefferey R. Holland. We all go through hard things in life every freaking day. I'm not the first or the last to admit that it is exhausting. Weather it's pressure to preform, emotional confusion and trauma, or some other roadblock that makes and already difficult life, harder. I would implore all to remember these words, "Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead—a lot of it—30 years of it now and still counting. You keep your chin up. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come.”

Love y'all
-Elder LaBass

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...
