We've got friends ...

 ...in our stomachs.

That's right. I got a parasite!! Wahoo. But now I'm all better. And Élder Watson is pretty much all better. He was a tad bit worse than I. But that was the majority of our week. Staying in the house too sick to go out or hospital trips for ourselves and helping out another sick companionship when we did feel better. That was like the first half of the week.

The second half was sooo much better! So about three weeks ago there was a cousin of a friend of ours that after a lesson that she listened to from the front door walked up to me and asked how long is the process to be baptized? I then told her about two or three weeks. And then she straight up told me she wanted to be baptized!!! Was awesome until we tried teaching her and she kind of just didn't show up a couple of times. But now she's showing up and she's got a date for her baptism!!

Its so awesome to see how God has been blessing Élder Watson and I and His work here in San Bernardino.

1 Nephi 17:13  And I will also be your light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led.

As Élder Watson and I are trying to serve God as Missionaries and be His hands in His work here in San Bernardino He is blessing us with a way to do His work and is guiding us to His people that are waiting for us to bring this gospel, this good news, into their lives. And this principle is the same with all of life. As we strive to keep His commandments and do the things He has called us to do, in our callings or just as disciples of Christ we will see the hand of the Lord in our lives through His blessings and guidance He gives us, I know this is true and I have seen it in my own life, and I testify of this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Bueno bueno, yet again another week has gone by like that. And crazy to think that today (Monday) I have officially been a missionary for six months!! Time just works differently when you're working on the Lord's time. But thanks for all the support yall have given me in these past six months and for all yalls love. Love yall and hope yall have a great week!!
I'll 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
