Learning some life lessons

Hello hello!!

Hope y'all had a great week and that you all are doing amazing!!

Sorry once again to some, and to others you're welcome cause this'll be another short one.

This week went by so fast and I'm starting to realize just how fast the mission really goes by. But this week was great. One thing that I have realized about being in a trio is that spreading out the time in lessons evenly between the three of us is nearly impossible. But I got a nice break from this on exchanges this week with the amazing DL, Elder Heineger. He had me lead all the lessons and they went great!! Was nice to have more time to talk in a lesson for once.

This week I learned something big. And if any of you know me well you know I am not that patient. Ever since I was little, I was always a little too quick to get mad. But this week I found this out, and some of you may have already known this trick but bare with me. So the thing I realized that helps so much with patience is... forget what the other people are doing and focus on what you're doing or what you can do to help them!!! What did Jesus do when the adulterer was brought before him. Did he get upset that she was breaking the laws that God, His Father, gave us? No he loved her and helped her by forgiving her and keeping the others from stoning her. Jesus always focused on the good of the people and how he can help them and not on the fact that they were doing bad things. The things people do are out of our control, they have agency! But how we respond and what we choose to do after, we can control. But ya, that's what I realized this week and started to implement and boy does it work. W.W.J.D 👉 H.W.L.F

Anyway, that's my short email for this week. Hope y'all have a great week and feel free to reach out! I love receiving ur emails and responding when I've got the time.

Love ya and bug ya later✌️

¡A LA GRAN!

Wow, is a mission hard, in a good way. To start off ... I have a companion that doesn't speak a lick of English. So there's that. I mean I'll learn Spanish much faster this way. But it definitely comes with its challenges when you struggle to understand what people are saying in lessons. So basically I just sit there until he asks me a simple question, asks me to read something, or gives me that look that it's time for me to bear my testimony. But other than that I consider myself pretty lucky. I'm in the awesome little town called Genova in the zone of Coatepeque. And basically all we do is walk up and down this little main brick road, occasionally taking a tuk-tuk to a different neighboring little town, sharing messages and working with three people on their journey to baptism for this coming week. We have a baptism this Wednesday and Thursday and possibly another this Thursday. We are praying for the third to happen.🤞🏼 Another thing that's pretty fun is bei

Water and more water ...

This week was crazy!! To start things off transfers went well, other than the fact that the actual transfers didn't because it took until 1030pm at night for the new comps to get to their areas due to blockades due to strikes. But good thing I'm staying with Élder Watson so we just got right to work when Archaga left the night before for his home in Honduras. Well actually, we tried to get to work. Élder Watson has been pretty sick this past week so keep him in your prayers! So due to that, there were some days we spent more time in the house than others. One of the times we did leave the house when he wasn't feeling too hot was this friday. As District Leader, Élder Watson now has to do interviews to make sure the friends of the missionaries in our district are indeed ready for their Baptisms. This interview took us to Oriente on the outskirts of Mazatenango. As we were rolling up to Mazate (Mazatenango) the clouds rolled and the rain came. Once we got out of the bus we bo

El Dia de Preparación Final en la CCM

Oh what a P Day it has been. But before I get to what happened today, on Friday, I'll talk un poco 'bout my week. So to start this week off we got to listen to a broadcasted Devotional from Provo that D. Todd Christofferson spoke at and boy, was that a good talk. He spoke about the Atonement of Jesus and how important it is to repent. He gave us the gift of repentance and we must use it. He can't save us if we don't choose to receive this amazing gift. What's the point of Him giving us agency if we abuse it and expect him to save us without us doing any work? My house (Casa 50, which consists of 15 Élderes) tried out for a musical number for our final devotional here in la CCM. On Thursday we tried out with el himno Loor al Profeta (Praise to the Man) acapella. We felt good about it until the next audition showed up, which was basically a choir of about three districts whose devotional would also be their last. We thought we had no chance. But today we received
