BIENVENIDO A MÉXICO

 ¡¡Hola Hola!!

Another week at the MTC has passed and man was it a rollercoaster. 

This week I had traveled to Mexico and said goodbye to my family for the next two years. It was very hard to say goodbye to them but I know that the Lord has work for me in Guatemala.

Overall this week was awesome, I got to meet my district in person and man they are so awesome. It's been awesome to hear their testimonies and practice Spanish with them everyday! I've also been speaking in Spanish with the missionaries that are native to Mexico. They had so many questions about LA and the culture in the states, it's been fun to make friends with them. They asked me if I know LeBron James which was pretty funny. 

The food here at the CCM has been awesome, I have been on cloud 9 with tacos and enchiladas almost everyday, MUY DELICIOSO. 

I also got to meet my teachers Hermano Sosa and Hermana Garcia in person. We have been having class in 99% Spanish so it's definitely been a growing experience and I'm all here for it. ¿¿QUE ES INGLÉS?? The gift of tounges is real yall but we gotta work for it! 

Me and my companion Elder Fausett had the opportunity to have our 3rd lesson this week with a lady named Selena. We taught her about the story of Nephi and how he went to retrieve the plates from the hands of Laban. She was touched by the story and I could feel the spirit so strong with her. I administered my first challenge to her as a missionary and that was to "think about a difficult time during your life and how your faith helped you to overcome it" and I would like to extend that challenge to yall as we

I would like to share with yall about what I learned this week from my personal study. This week I studied the life of Paul. I belive that one of the prime examples that we should model off is the apostle Paul who was a missionary that was sent to practice and minister along the Gentiles after he was converted to the church. Even though Paul was a missionary he was met with mistrust and jealousy even by some within the church and with violent persecution from those who were not members. However even through his greatest trials Paul stayed committed to preaching the gospel among the Jews, Greeks, and Romans. 

The Gentiles flocked to hear Paul speak and he played a pivotal role in establishing the church among the world. Through latter day revelation we have been told that we must take the gospel to every nation and people. Studying the life of Paul has assured me that the  lord never gives us a task without preparing a way for us to accomplish it. 

I would like to share my testimony in Español

Sé que Jesús vive. Sé que a través de su expiación podemos ser perdonados por nuestros pecados. Sé que su iglesia está restaurada hoy y está dirigida por Rusell M Nelson. en el nombre de Jesucristo amén.

I know that Jesus lives. I know that through his atonement we can be forgiven for our sins. I know that his church is restored today and is lead by Rusell M Nelson. in the name of Jesus christ amen.

Hope yall have a good week!!

  ¡Hola hola! Another week at the MTC has passed, it feels like time is flying by here. I only have one more week at the CCM, and pretty soon I will be headed to Antigua Guatemala where I will spend the next two years of my life inviting others to come unto Christ. This week let me just say, A BLAST. We started our English fast as a district, so that means we have only been speaking in Spanish, which means NO MAS EN INGLÉS. Hermano Sosa has been la policia this week because he has been keeping tabs on who has been slipping in words in English during class here and there and he said that whoever has spoken the most words has to buy chocolate for the whole class from la tienda. It has been a challenge for sure but as missionaries we must have faith and work hard for el don de las lenguas. I had the opportunity to play a special musical number of How Great Thou Art with Hermana Baldwin this past Sunday. It's been awhile since I played a special musical number in sacrament meeting so i...

A Blessing in Disguise

Welp, the trade to the Guatemala Antigua mission fell through yall. The CCM had a trade package finalized with me, Elder Gergetz, and Elder Godfrey, with a couple first round picks but I heard that there was an issue with our medical records and that the Guatemala Antigua mission declined the trade. Just kidding jaja, unfortunately I tested positive for COVID last week along with Elder Gergetz and Elder Godfrey, two other elders from my previous district 7C. Let’s just say it was a big let down at first, but I definitely learned that the Lord works in mysterious ways and that trials happen for a reason Last week on Thursday after the temple, I started feeling sick. At first I thought it was just a cold because all I was dealing with at the time was a runny nose and a minor sore throat, but I started feeling worseThursday evening. I went to see the doctor at the CCM and took a COVID test. I got a negative result,  but the doctor suggested that I move to house 1 which is the house fo...
