A change a day keeps surprises away

Hola todos!                                                                                                          May 7, 2018

 Happy to be here! Already have a new comp, Hna Perez. I am excited to work with her on the island! We will have fun getting lost a lot. haha
My old companion; Hermana Gonzales!


Guys, God knows us perfectly. Sometimes we might feel like nothing is budging even though we are giving it our all. But we just need patience and keep smiling. 

Took a 5 minute break to walk the beach! 
Excited because this Thursday we have a conference in Villa with Elder Pieper! It is going to be amazing. So excited, puro poder. 😁

Just keep on loving! We went to Villa last night because Gonzalez is going to train, and when we  got there we saw so many missionaries. 3 of the elders from Zapata are going to train, so that was awesome to see them. And I saw my friend Elder Canche before he left! He finished his mission this morning. The last time I saw him I told him adios para siempre. So last night the first thing he said to me, "And you said you would never see me again!" Love that kid.
Ran into my Zapata buddies at the ADO 

Also grateful because in the bus station I saw some of the other missionaries that I was with in Zapata. So grateful that the mission is one big family. 

Talk to you soon! Love you all!

May 13, 2019 Happy Monday Everyone! And happy final week of the mission to me!!! So here's the thing: this is my last letter from the mission field. Next Monday, I'll be traveling to the mission offices in Villa, and Tuesday morning I'm off. Gone. Ouch, it hurts just thinking about it. Let me explain why: A perfect example: Sunday. Yesterday, I really felt the meaning of the hymn, "I Stand All Amazed". First, because Hilaria was baptized! She met the hermanas about 10 months ago, and we had actually left her, because I thought that she would never get around to it. But we felt like we needed to darle una vuelta, so we did. And she told us that it was time, she was ready to get baptized. I thought, "HA! Será. We´ll find out." Very quickly we were able to notice that the Spirit had been working on her. So on Sunday, she got baptized.  Just imagine it. Sitting in sacrament meeting, among members and families that I know and love. On one b...

Patience is a heavenly virtue

May 6, 2019 Happy Monday everybody! Can I just say, the Lord is so good to us? He really is. And I love Him. This past week, I was studying and thinking about what I should develop of the Christlike attributes. You already know, when we ask God what we need to improve or change, He lets us know pretty quickly.  So I am trying to develop more patience. I like it, it is very closely related with faith and hope. At the end of my study, I prayed for the opportunity to develop patience.  HE ANSWERED. Splits with Herbertson! So great! This week, it was hot.  This week, it was very, very, hot. It was also the "Día del Niño" so everybody was out and about partying, just like the past 2 weeks. So there weren't very many people available.  We planned well, but the backups to the backups fell. People that were going to get baptized suddenly had to suspend our visits, and people that were going to come to church never showed up. I may or may not h...

Just Keep Swimming

Hola Family, Swimming in rain. Just for a couple of days. But SO much. I think that for a moment God was tempted to send another flood. Can´t say I blame him. Happy Monday! Today (as is everyday) was an expierience. We went to Palenque today (it is only about an hour away) to play sports with a couple of other zones. Super fun! It is hilarious. Because there are all these latinos who are born with a soccer ball in their hand... and then there is the crazy American running around like a pollo sin su cabeza. All of the Elders now know to fear me and my mad soccer and bball skills. haha Gotta love me a coke down here in Mexico!!! Life is good! Working hard down here. I was so happy this past week because we had an awesome lesson with our fecha, Elizabeth. I felt the strongest impression during the lesson to tell her that she is loved. So I told her that God loved her. After, we had her pray and we asked her how she felt. She said she couldn´t explain, she felt like cryin...
