The Best Birthday Gift!

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 give more thanks for the opportunity I had to baptize sweet Karina! And next week watch her Mom do the same!!!

I just want to share a quick scripture that touched my heart this week! As I’ve come to know without a shadow of a doubt miracles exist!

For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.

GOD LIVES HE LOVES AND HE WANTS TO BLESS US!!! Search for miracales because we believe in a God of miracles! 

I love youu allll thank you for all your sweet birthday wishes! I love you AND soooo does Jesus Christ! Keep pushing through even when times are tough!

SERVICE IS THE KEY

I have a lot of scrambled thoughts this week but I hope I can share them all without writing a whole darn novel. It was such an amazing week! So hard but so good. Always have to start with a funny story... duhhh. We went over to an investegators house to teach a lesson. Hes super old and speaks a native dialec called Zapoteco. He speaks spanish just with a really strong accent. Anyways, we get his house and he offers us some water. We didnt see where he got it from so we always have to ask so we dont get sick. He says its from the rain the other day so we were already a little skeptical, and then I look down at the water and its legit BROWN and its got random chunks floating in it. My comp is talking to him about it and this investigator starts going off becuase we're not drinking the water, he starts quoting scriptures about how everything from God is good yada yada yada. Well then my comp looks at me and goes "Should we drink it?" I WAS LIKE HECK NO. The investigator ...

Loving The Work And Potatoes

Where is the time going?! The weeks are flying by. Im really not sure what exactly to write about. I’ll do my best to give you guys something. We've all heard the saying "you got a face only your mother could love" I think my emails are "emails only a mother could read". If you feel that way feel free to scroll down to the pictures . I gave my very first talk this week in church! With nothing prepared I got up and spoke over a pulpit with no microphone and somewhere along the way mustered up the ability to say "I love my family so much and miss them. Most of all I miss my potatoes". I meanttt to say parents but hey...I guess I miss potatoes too. I don't have any more funny stories but it really was an awesome week. I feel like I’m getting into the flow of being a missionary finally and I have officially completed ONE MONTH IN THE FIELD WOOOOOOO!!!!! It’s been one of the longer months of my life, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Im going to s...

FIRST WEEK IN THE FIELD

Image
Mannn what a week! Probably the hardest week of my life if I'm being honest.  Lets just start with the good stuff... First day after I got my comp and assignment we got on a bus for a 7 hour ride to our area Tecnogloico, which is in Juchitan! We were about 4ish hours into our 7 hour bus ride when the bus just stopped. We werent sure why so after we waited half an hour we got out and figure out that there was a blockade. So people were protesting... protesting what I'm not sure. We made our way back to the bus to sit and wait for 2 more hours. As they all say here "Gracias A dios"(thanks to God) I thought they were saying Gracias Adios the whole time. But... a member from Morro, which is a neighboring mission came and picked us up to bring us closer to Juchitan so that our Bishop could come get us. As I grabbed my two 60 pound suitcases and 30 pound carry on, it started to DOWN POUR. We walked about a half a mile in a full suit, will my big ole suitcases, down a road t...
