The Joy of Sharing

 This week has been a wild one!!

>I got sick with a fever for two days
>Took a test and found a couple of friends living in my tummy
>Dropped drinking Coca-Cola/Caffeine.
>Have had a migraine since I've done so
>Had Stake Conference in the biggest chapel in all of Central America (said a elder)
>Traveled to Reu to work on some citizenship stuff and hang with the McKays and secretaries

Ya, it's been a whirlwind. All of this, along with preparing 3 people for their baptisms that are coming up. Angelica is one of them, and I am so impressed by her. Her and her family are the most attentive listeners I have ever met. Whenever Elder Gonzalez and I go over to share something with them, they just listen and listen and eat up everything we say. And a couple of times, they have said whenever you guys leave, you guys always leave us smiling and happier than we were before. They are experiencing the pure joy that comes from learning and knowing of the complete gospel of Jesus Christ! They know his plan for them and know what they need to do to receive more joy and all the blessings he has waiting for them, and I can't wait to keep helping them.  For all you who know what I am talking about, which I imagine is the majority of you all, I invite you all to continue with the invitation of the prophet to find the lost sheep of his. And when you find one, help them find their way back and find the next. Help them find the joy that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ. Share with them the most precious thing you have, which is the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have found so much joy in helping these people and want you all to find the joy in helping others know more as well. I promise you will find it.

But that's all for this week guys. This week was crazy but not a whole lot of new things happened in the work this week. Next week, I promise there will be more to update on considering we have Zone Conference this Friday!!!!
Love ya guys
Until next week!!

Bubye Elder Salisbury!

¡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
