Hello all,                                                                                                                  Feb. 11, 2019 I have thought several times that my mission could be a movie. It is hilarious, touching, heartbreaking, and uplifting. I think that by now it has probably gotten a couple of Oscar nominations, if I do say so myself.

February 4, 2019 Happy Monday everybody! This week was a busy busy week which is just the best. There were so many awesome and crazy things that happened that as we were trying to figure out what we were going to say to our families today, I had no clue where to start!

My dear companion and me posing in front of the big Catholic Church here in Mexico Tortos de Pollo.......truly the yummiest!!! A fun thing that we have been doing is really focusing on referrals, and especially referrals from the youth. What we have been doing is putting into a small package a pamphlet, small card with our info, and a chocolate bar or a pulparindo. And we have been "gifting" them to members so they can "gift" it to someone who doesnt't know the gospel. It has been a success! Truly, we have to talk with everyone and everything that breathes so we can check every corner! There are so many people that the Lord is preparing t...
