  Hey!  Hows it going?? This week was a good week, as always We got a lot done and a lot happened this week again. I will jump into it and talk about Gabriela. She finally got out of Quarantine, like I think I mentioned last time, and we called and set up a visit! The next day we got fellowship figured out for her and did our best to work through the rule of 3 and driving and availability. We were going to give her a church tour, even though it would have been a little weird because we meet in the tiny room in the back ahah. We set everything up... and she got hospitalized again. She had problems with her stomach and she got hospitalized. I don't know what is going on.  Miracle came out of that... kind of. A member was able to bring their family some food again so that was awesome. We also got a call from the mission office saying that Elder Nelly had a package he needed to get from the mission office because it was his birthday!! So since the visit fell we were able...

  Hey!!  Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always We had a little bit more success this week than others and we also had a lot of meetings this week. It was a fun time so I will just jump right into it. On Tuesday, we had an exchange with the district leader and it was good!! I was put in the English area again and it was a good time. I almost met a pro volleyball player but he wasn't home. His wife was though. The exchange was good so it was fun. The next fun thing we did is that we bought an extra case of water and we had like a million oranges as you know. So what we did is we put it all in the back and went to give them all out to the Mexican workers who were working on the upper class houses here. At first when we started to try and find them, there weren't a lot. But, we started to find them and then all the sudden, we found an entire neighborhood being constructed!! We walked through and I took like an hour video as well as we gave them all ora...

Hey!!  Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always This week we did lots of unconventional ways to find and also tried to focus on the members. As I said last time, we had some awesome stuff going last week but as we talked to President Carter, he told us that we could not do what we wanted to do. We are still going to try to do all we can but we keep losing everything we are doing. Gabriella is still sick and her phone broke so we can't get ahold of her. We stopped teaching Jorge and Carlos as well. They asked us to stop coming by pretty much. They weren't acting in the invitations we gave them anyways but it is still sad.  This week we set up a table at the corner of a little Mexican shop and "advertised" family history and it was really fun! We didn't get any return appointments but we had a good time and gave out a ton of books of mormon, and we also had some good conversations. We are going to advertise english classes next so that will be fun. We can...

  Hey!!   Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always Actually this week was rougher again too haha. I got pretty sick this week and I had no energy because it crashed me. I had a bad stuffy nose and major exhaustion. I lost my taste and the worst part about that is I made homemade chicken enchiladas and I never got to taste them. I also mimicked my moms homemade salsa. Spot on and I don't know how. I was exhausted the entire week but in reality it was a good rest for me. We had already DESTROYED the area last transfer so. We have found some big work in the area though with helping the branch. We have a billion ideas to help and I talked with the Mission President and he is on board. We are going to seriously start helping out the group with some of the ideas. We already have the ball rolling as we have talked to the English ward bishop and our mission leader and others. Stay tuned This week as well was Interviews with President. Super awesome as always and he is super...

  Hey! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always Actually this week was a lot rougher than I thought, haha. It was tough because I watched some people I care about distance themselves from me. In my mission and at home too.  This week we handed off 4 of our top progressing because they stopped progressing and we will continue to hand off 3 more this week.  We got our new transfer calls and me and Elder Nelson are staying! I am very excited to be with him so I cannot complain but the work here is coming to a point where it feels like we cannot do anything else in the area of spanish. We have contacted almost every single person in our area book. We have about 15 people left(I know I talk about this alot but I want to remember). I dont mean tried, but I mean that we contacted them. We also counted and we made 80 new contacts for new people in our area. We are running out of things to do. I am about to become an Old Testament master everyone.  I also did somet...
