Friends and familyyyyy!!! I'm sorry I havent written in a while! I'm just having the most amazing time!  We are working like crazy out here! We both have a feeling that were going to get transferred and so we gotta put in that work for these amazing people before we go! We had the most amazing baptism yesterday with Dayana! And we cant wait for her brother to get baptized this next week!  If someone could fill me in on what's happening in the USA that would be nice because I'm getting grilled out here and I'm not sure what's going on hahaha. I guess the people here aren't overly fond of Donald. We had Elder McConkie join is for a day! My first Zone Leader! Such a humble Legend! My companion still cracks me up in new ways every day! Just a quick spiritual thought! The difference between happiness and joy! Happiness is found scrolling on tik tok or playing a game. But we find joy through long suffering painful lonely times and when we work hard and persevere t...

Whatttt a wild week ladies and gents! This was one for the record books quite honestly. From 2 exchanges to scheduling 4 baptisms for the same day. To be quite honest I was feeling stressed. But the Lord is pouring out an abundance of blessing here in Juchitan! Lets start from the beginning we had exchanges to start the week and I left our area. Sometimes its a relief to leave because it takes everthing out of my hands and I can just relax. Its like I’m in my training again. But this week I was losing it. We had so so so much to do and I juat had to sit and do nothing. But my comp hit a gaming winning half court Steph Curry 3 and not only killed it but put someone in teaching on baptismal date! Absolute GOAT! We had more exchanges on thursday as well and im just reminded how much I love Elder Serrato!! We ended up putting 4 people on date for the same Sunday! 3 fell through but cute Karina was sooo nervous but changed her life this Sunday! The Lord knows exactly what we need and I cant...

It’s been another awesome week here in Juchitan!  I know Im getting closer to leaving which makes me sad! If the gut feeling I have is right, I only have 5 weeks left here. Theres only been one Elder to stay in an area for more than 6 months I don't think Im about to make two.  I genuinely have the biggest love for each and every single person here! It truly feels like home away from home. We see miricales every day here. And the ward has kicked into gear and are all stoked to help at all costs. Which is truly amazing because when I got here it was a huge struggle to get anyone to help.  My family always is asking what there is to do here and the truth is, not much! But Juchitan is my FAVORITE place ever. Theres no beach, nothing fun to do,  it’s either scorching hot or unbearably windy. BUT I LOVE IT! And why, because the people are truly the most Christlike people!  Birthdays are all around down here. NEXT SUNDAY ELDER CARTER TURNS 19 ….HOW WEIRDDDDD! And my c...
