I'm not the one in the hospital this time

April 9, 2018

it's been a little interesting these past two weeks!

First off, I will just say that this past general conference was one of the best, most spiritual conferences I've ever witnessed! It was awesome! President Nelson is truly the prophet!! Lots of new changes, it was awesome to watch it all!

Last week tho, my companion got super sick! All day Sunday, during conference, he was just like dying! So after conference we went home so he could rest. He slept for like 5 hours, woke up and his temperature was like 104, so we called some members from the ward, and told them, they came and picked us up and took us to the hospital. Elder De Guzman got checked up by the worst doctor in the world, and then we literally waited like 6 hours for the results of his tests. It was like 4:30am at this point, and it was impossible for me to sleep. I just sat in a chair the whole time. Finally, the surgeon was like yeah you have an appendicitis, and we're going to take you up to surgery. So My companion went to surgery and I went to the hospital room where we ended up staying in until Wednesday. But he's all good now! Just  a lot of resting!

We had a baptismal service for the best investigators in the world on Saturday! I love them so much! It was a pretty spiritual experience as well. Vianey, the mom, got up to share her testimony at the end and cried so much, and honestly had everyone in tears. She testified that this church is true and that she has made the best decision of her life! It was the best!

Today is the first day of a new change! I am still with Elder De Guzman this transfer here in Espartaco.

Thank you for all the support, I truly do love the work that I am serving in right now. I really wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. I love you all, thank you for all the wonderful support!

Have a great week!!

Love

Week 5 - Figuring Things Out

Whats up everyone!? Hope everybody had a great week! Well, today, I finally hit two weeks in the field, and one month in the mission! I am honestly having a great time here. The city is absolutely disgusting and smells bad, but somehow I find it beautiful! The people here are great! I love meeting new people and teaching investigators! the only thing is that in practically every appointment we have, i always get asked what my thoughts on Donald Trump are... let me tell you, they HATE Trump here. So i obviously tell them I don't care about him. In reality, I don't have a preference. Not into politics. Anyways, I had a pretty good week though. Went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders and we went to work! Visited a ton of investigators. The people here are very very willing to listen to our message. I love it! It's hot here everyday, and there are random thunderstorms every now and then. The food is good but I´ll be honest, lately the food has been getting the worst of me latel...

Remember your covenants!

April 23, 2018 it was a pretty good week here in espartaco! Found some new investigators, put baptismal dates for them! so hope everything work out. They are three kids! so hopefully we can get them excited for baptism! Our investigator Jesus got baptized this week! It was pretty cool. Jesus has been an investigator for like 3 years, but for some reason he stopped listening to the missionaries for like 2 years. His wife recently got baptized, exactly a month ago actually, and so this past month we've really taken advantage of the opportunity and got him excited to be baptized. And Jesus is one of those investigators that you don't really find. His goal wasn't to be baptized. His goal is to get the priesthood and be sealed one day on the temple and baptism is just a step he needs to take to get there. He goes to church every Sunday and actively participates in class! He really wanted to change his life, and now he is baptized! He is such a great guy, and I know that if h...

Happy New Year 2018!!

Jan 8, 2018 sorry I havent written for so long! so much has happened, but then again I feel like not much has happened. My Christmas was pretty awesome here! I'm not gonna lie, it felt nothing like Christmas back at home in Oregon. The reason being... well they just celebrate it differently. There are people who go all out and decorate their homes with lights and Christmas trees, and then there are people that don't really care and just use it as an excuse to party and drink haha. But its cool. Christmas day here is really celebrated on the 24th, so the 25th kinda seems like a normal day. But nonetheless, I got to talk to my family and that's always nice. Then of course new years was this past week, which was pretty awesome too. It was weird because not that many people were out on the streets, kinda just another normal day. Cool story though: On Monday night, Elder Lomeli and I were talking right before we went to bed about the prophets. He was just asking me a bun...
