What is upppp everyone?? How was the
week? Whether it was absolutely amazing or the worst of the worst, we've got a
fresh start so let's get after it this week! Hope you all are doing well
though! Miss y'all tons but man I love being a missionary it's just the best! 😁 Obviously the highlight of the
week was the baptism of our boy Jose Cruz!
Baptisms are always a little bit stressful trying to
get everything done on time the week leading up to it haha but luckily
everything went pretty smoothly! He's so awesome and like I mentioned last week
the change I've seen in him over the last 2 months teaching him has been so
amazing! He's grown from someone just semi interested into someone who truly
loves the gospel and is so grateful for his Savior! His testimony at his
baptism was super special and we hope in the future he'll be able to serve as a
missionary too! He was baptized with his 8 year old cousin yesterday after
church which worked out perfect because like all the ward pulled up 😂 . The room was
crazy packed ya love to see it! And luckily we didn't have green water this
time 🤣. Definitely so
rewarding and special to help people make covenants with their Heavenly father
and bring them back to him! These are the moments that make the tough parts of
missionary work so worth it!
We gotta do exchanges this week and I stayed here in
popular with my dawg Elder Whitaker! Dude is actually such a stud he's got the
same time in the mission as Nielson and I and we just had a ton of fun! This
day was also the first time in my entire mission (almost 9 months), where
literally every single lesson and contact fell through 💀😂. We were itching
to teach so bad but we made the most of it and didn't let it affect our work
ethic at all! We ended up meeting some really cool people on the street and we
just started teaching and testifying with every single person we talked to! I
learned a ton from him, especially how I can be more personal and loving in
talking to everyone and random strangers, they're all God's children! Always
love exchanges and don't worry Whitaker and I got a feeling we'll be comps
eventually so stay tuned 👀 😎.
Elder Nielson and I really are shifting our focus with
being straight up and super bold with everyone we meet and teach! Now that we
are a lot more comfortable with Spanish we've realized that we've gotta do all
we can to bring God's children back home to Him! It's been amazing to see that
when we let go of fear and just be confident, bold, loving, and direct with
people we're seeing miracles! This work is too important to casually sit back
and go through the motions! And that goes for all of us, not just missionaries!!
It's time to stop letting fear and Satan get in the way of bringing God's
children unto him and preparing the world for Christ's return. Start living,
talking, teaching, testifying, and breathing the gospel you know to be true and
I promise greater blessings and miracles than you could ever imagine will come
into your life!
I love you guys tons and hope you have an amazing week!
Always reach out if you need anything at all, I'd love to pray for ya and help
in any way I can! Remember you're never going at it alone! You guys are
amazing, keep smiling and love every single day! Que les vaya bien!
*Jose's baptism!*
*White boy season*
