Support from the Lord!

Hey!! Hows it goin??

This week was a good week, as always. 
Today marks exactly a year ago from when I was set apart to be a missionary. Crazy stuff!

Super classic missionary stuff again as we are on the grind trying to find new people to teach and helping those progressing. We have stopped teaching lots of our friends and will probably hand off Fernando this week, and maybe Lucky. We have no idea why they are chosing to wait but they both have decided to wait for reasons unknown. We now have 4 people waiting to be baptized. They come to church every day, they know practically everything and just are waiting. If only they would tell us. We pray for them everyday but we need to have the faith to let them go. So now we are on the grind for more!

We have someone named Cristian we are teaching. The lord helped me find him with Elder Krenkel. When I was with Elder Krenkel, Cristian had told us some sad things that had happened in past churches to make him not like the idea of church. He loved God but never talked to him. He wanted to learn more though. I have seen the hand of the lord in his life for sure! He loves having us over and his life has taken a full 360! He prays for us now after I taught him how. He believes us and loves what we teach and is reading and acting and it is so cool to see how much he has grown. Pray for him!

This week we had zone conference as well! It was really fun and President Carter taught us a ton about gospel library. Holy Cow I am building my own library in gospel library! haha it is super cool, you can link things, write things, make pages and study binders and create your own library pretty much. It is super cool. We had some nice food too and I got to see some old missionary friends!! 

This week we had a good exchange with the district leader as well and we also went to a good friends house, thats a member, and we had a little fire and cooked food with la Banda for his birthday!! Super cool and fun. The branch here is having a hard time within the people getting along. We have given a few priesthood blessings and such now including to our ward mission leader. Super crazy but we are doing our best. Last thing to mention, Is GABINO GOT BAPTIZED!!! 
Shout out to Elder Nelly for baptizing him for me! If you all dont rememer Gabino, just know that he is a straight miracle. Me and Elder Nelly taught him who God was! Such a cool experience. I got to watch over zoom.


This week on... WhAt wE cOoKinG!?
This week we made 2 types of tacos...
first is a nice slow roasted pulled pork topped with the usual.
next is lean carne asada strips with mexican rice. HMMM good stuff

I think thats all i have. Thank you for those who wrote to me last week it is so fun to read little emails!! See you next week!

  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. So i might move and get a new companion but i hope i stay with Elder Skinner. We are working really hard and have found some awesome people this week.   We did service for a hoarder today and oh boy was that rough haha. Stuff everywhere and dust and oh my gosh so bad. We tried but she wanted to keep every little thing like...

  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...
