Give it up

Hola a todos!! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas this year and that you all have a great new year!!! Sorry if this email is a little short. I had a larger one written out, ready to send, but sad thing about emails is that there isn't an undo button when you accidentally delete your whole email... and I don't have enough time to write it out all again... sowry Anywho, to explain these past two weeks!! They have been amazing!! These past two weeks the work has progressed so much!! Including 4 people on date for baptism!! (Auner, Flor, Melanie, y Victoria) There have been miracles and many blessings these past two weeks. Now to explain the title. I have begun to understand consecration a little better. My comp, Elder Wilks, is such a consecrated missionary. He has changed the way I see missionary work and how I should live every moment of my mission. If you want maricales, give yourself to the Lord, and you will see the potential He has for you. Now, how can I live more cons...

Sick, Transfers, and Christmas is here!

So ... sorry about not writing an email last week. We got notice of our transfers on Monday and found out they were Tuesday. So I only had half a day to say goodbye to everyone I could and pack. And I did so with a crazy fever. So due to that I had no energy left after packing to write an email. But after two days I got better and I'm back to work!! So ya, I had to say bye to mi hijo (My son) Elder Soto. I left Ocós. I'll say the weather wasn't the best there, was way too hot, but the members and people there are just the best. They made every second in Ocós worth it there. You can find faithful disciples of Christ in any part of the world, whether it's in a chapel in Utah, or a small rented building in the middle of a tiny, tiny town on the beach surrounded by nothing but water, plantain, and banana trees. They have a place in my heart that will never be removed. So now I am in an area called Nuevo Palmar (New Palm Grove)/Pueblo Nuevo (New town). The reason It's ca...

Past 2 Weeks

To start things off, we had zone conference last week and it was amazing!! Learned how to better involve members and invite the people to come unto Christ a little better. I also left a duffle bag with some clothes, my personal and mission funds and my little proselyting Book of Mormon and Bible, along with a few other things. And after that it was never seen again by a Missionary. Let's just say I wasn't the happiest camper that night when I found out that it all disappeared. We were also getting a friend to be baptized last Saturday which we were excited about, but his family disappeared for four days and on the fifth (Friday), he hid from us and he changed his mind and said he didn't want to be baptized anymore. That was really hard to take. But then we had splits with Elder Jefferies and Elder Tenney!! We had a great day! As Elder Tenney and I went on an hour long walk to get to the most far out parts of our area, Elder Jefferies and Soto were busy inviting Hermana Fern...
