Three Crazy Weeks

A tous Bonjour ! So I know I haven't really written for 3 weeks now!. First and foremost Life has been super busy. Let's start with the First week I didn't write which was 3 weeks ago. We had a baptism of a 9 year old girl. Her name is B and her dad baptized her and it was super cool. Teaching her was a lot of fun and we had to simplify everything down so that she can understand the gospel. It was a good experience for me because teaching the gospel some time might be hard and simplifying it helps people to understand what type of teacher you are. Well the simply the better, no reason to make it complicated and confuse people. Well we met with her almost every single day and we were able to teach her everything so that she can be baptized within two weeks. Also it was the last week Sister G and I were together!😂 My baby G grew up. It was a lot of fun training her and I remember our last p-day together we started it by watching the district video. 

Week2 
Alright during that same day a lot of things happen. I became an STL, a sister training leader, it is so much fun. We go to mission leadership council and then we talk about the things happening in the mission and the best part of it is going in exchanges with the sisters in my zone. So far I have been on one exchange with a sister called Sister G from Belize. She is an awesome missionary, it was in Spanish and during all the lesson we had I spoke the little Spanish I knew mixed with English. The best part of it is that I will say things in French with a Spanish accent and the even made the investigator more confused. One of my new goals is to learn Spanish, it felt so weird not speaking a lot. Also during our conversations I understood only 50% of what was going on and at the end they always asked me to pray and they said they wanted me to pray in French. I don't know but there is something about that language and every one loves it especially the ones that do not understand it. A learned from sister G how to be super friendly with everyone even if it is the first time that you meet them. I feel like Spanish communicate differently than the rest of the world. Going back to the Monday we got the transfer board and I was moved to a walking area and wow it's being a blast. I feel exhausted every time I come home, we have an average of 10 miles per day, which is not too bad but the Area I am serving in right now is St. George East stake and people are more humble and sketchy. We carry a flash light everywhere we go in the evening.



Week 3
Quick recap I went home on Sunday and came back on Monday. It was quite a trip filled with lack of sleep and success. So right before I left my area I put a lot of people on date for Baptism and 2 of them are getting baptized this weekend and it's amazing man. I Worked with them for 3 months. One of the is name J, Sister D and I baptized his family when she was still a Greenie and J did not believe IN God at the time so we gave him so time but still invited him to take the missionary lesson. He went to church every Sunday and Finally started believing in God and then When Sister G just got in into the mission field we taught him all the lessons and he was ready to be baptized but his dad was not home so that he can get baptized. So Something that happen is that his dad changed his Job so now he is home to baptized him. He was on date to be baptize just two weeks before the transfer ended and now wow he is going to be baptize this weekend. His amazing, he has come along way and learned for himself the truthfulness of the gospel and I really admire that about him. Also one of my investigator name John finally got approval from our Mission President to be baptized and I remember the first time I met him, he said okay we can try but I don't know if it is going to work so I worked with him for 5 months and he is going to baptized the same day as J! It's going to be a great weekend. Pleas pray for my investigator so that they make it to their baptism! I have met so many people on my mission that I honestly I don't know how my life will be like without them. I am so very grateful for missionary work and the blessing that it brings to people's life and that I get to see them change and get to be a tool in the Lord's hand.
 
Remember love one another even as he loves us.

Week 2 - Praying and be a good boy, be a good girl!

Image
Every morning begins with a prayer, every lesson, meal, role play, in general everything begins and ends with a prayer here. I guess that is part of the reason why you can feel the spirit strongly here at the MTC. My roommates are all from around the world. There is Sister P from Ukraine, she is very stylish and likes working out with me at 6am. My companion Sister J is from the Marshall Islands, she is so funny and she is the most interesting person I have ever met. The other girl in the room is Sister Y and she's from Yap which is found next to Guam, which is next to Marshall Island which is next to Hawaii.  She is very sweet and she is always smiling. In my district we have a Sister called Sister K and she's from india she cracks me up and she always tells us jokes. What I love about the MTC so far is that you meet a lot of people from all over the world and everyone has one goal.  Which is invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restore...

First week in the Field!

Image
Best of both worlds.  First week out in the field. Well my companion is Sister S she is from a small town called Burns Oregon.  She's very cute and kind, she is the best trainer I could possibly ask for. It has been great with lots of sunshine. The sun is too much for me it gets to like 100 and something degrees and I feel like I am in an oven. The area where I am proselyting is called Santa Clara Heights and it is beautiful and the houses looks like it is from the movies. We are in charge of the Whole stake so it is kind of hard to go to all the sacrament meetings and we also get to do the visitor center half of the day so we only get to knock on door for  a couple of hours. Well we get the best of both world in a sense that people come to us in the visitor center and we go look for people also. It has been hard so far but Heavenly Father has been providing for us.  I had to bear my testimony so many times and attend a lot of sacrament meeting and meeting ...

Baptisms by Dad

Image
Wow, How time flies, Tranfers are today and my companion  and I are staying together. Its been six weeks already that we have been together, wow went too fast. Sister D is an awesome missionary and it is a lot of fun training. The part I enjoy the most about training is doing 12 weeks again [ training program for new missionaries I think ], there is so much to learn. The week has been Glorious, it ended with 3 baptisms that  took place saturday the 30th of September. I can't believe it is already October. But it was one of the best Baptism that I have ever attended. The Dad Tommie Got baptised and then confirmed and then ordained and then baptised his wife Rachel and then baptised their daughter Chiara. It was one of the happiest days on my mission. It's a blessing to see a family come closer to the Savior. We had to receive permission from our Mission President and our Stake president in order for that to happen [ for the Dad to baptise his family the same da...
