The trenches

 Hey! Hows it goin??


This week was a good week... as always

This week things picked up here. When we got here our english class was 1 person and he was a member. Now we have a solid average of 4 or 5 and we are getting up close to double digits!! Doesn't seem like a lot but for having 1 person come for about 6 months and that's it... I am really excited. Tony is one of them and he is one of the coolest people I have met. Only Mexican Construction worker I have ever met who doesn't do drugs or alcohol. He is our buddy.

With Gabriella, she has dropped off the face of the planet and we can't believe it. We have still seen tender mercies from the lord and we found a few more promising people!! I want to talk about 2 of em. The first one is Elias. We stopped by his house at random from a previous record and he totally welcomed us in. As we sat down, he expressed how stories and the world were changing and he didn't like it. He always believed in a God but watched the things of the churches change. We explained to him the church of Jesus Christ a little bit but Explained the Book of Mormon in depth to him and he was fascinated. Asked us for a book and told us to come back. Said he would give us food too haha. As my companion was bearing his testimony, My comp said he knew Christ lived and Elias said yes, in our hearts,and I said, no... He lives. He was crazy struck and asked for more info. I explained and I watched it click for him and it was a really cool experience to see him accept it and want more within seconds. The holy ghost told him not me, and I witnessed it

The next one is Gabino. We went up to the boonies of somis again looking for a referral. couldn't find his house and we drove down this long dirt road for a reason I don't know. Reached a house and I looked at my comp and said, we have to knock it. got out and we met Gabino, a 19 year old who doesn't know anything about God. We taught him prayer and he even prayed for us which was so cool. He knows the dialect of Zapoteco too. 

We did service for an ex-military man this week and dug 4 foot trenches. Dad, even though the ground here is way better, the lawn paid off!!! hammered through it and had an awesome time. We will help him out again. Did some other service too. Another thing is someone we were about to start teaching died in a motorcycle accident. Pray for his family


This week on... WHaut wE Cuuking

  Hey!  Hows it going???  This week was a good week, as always. This week was actually really interesting to say the least haha. Had its ups and downs and some weird intereactions. BUT... We got transfers news!! I was informed that I will be Staying!! I will be getting a new companion as well named Elder Nunley! Funny thing is that Elder Nunley was companions with Elder Nelson, (who I trained), in the Mtc! Elder Nunley was also trained by Elder Larsen who was in the trio with me in my first companionship!! Elder Larsen is for real the best so I am excited to get his trainee. We have transfers  this tuesday  so I will let you know next week what is up. I was also asked to be the Spanish Elder Training Leader. I will miss Elder Krenkel for sure. We really enjoyed the area together. Elder Krenkel is actually going to Camarillo where I just was! This area is really just chosen of the Lord and when you are out and about, you see it. Everyone is still progressing real...

  Hey everyone!!! Excuse my punctuation and grammar this email because I am typing on my phone and it doesn't function sometimes soooooo haha. This week, super busy once again because you know me and my companion!!! Super good week packed of work. Ill start with some of our friends. Angel and Isabella they went to their dads house in san diego so we could not put them on date but we still are close. We took a hit this week because lots of people are leaving for christmas. Ramon is leaving the 5th as you know and not coming back for a month which sucks but it's ok. Transfers are really really close too. This is the last week of the transfer. Yea crazy I know.

  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...
