  Hey! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always.  Lots of our visits fell this week and Satan is working really hard against us but we keep going! Lupio had some medical issues again and cancelled but then came to english class on the weekend! Gerardo got promoted and good for him but he hates it and works until super late everyday. Cristian is doing good, working a ton but taught him priesthood and he said he believes so he would be baptized "again"!!Candy and Kevin are doing great. We had exchanges this week and they had a visit with candy and Kevin and said it went well!! They are 2 kids that literally have started from 0. They don't know anything, never heard of the Bible, never heard of God really and they are getting more and more involved its awesome. The exchanges were good too. I was with Elder Steed in his area who has just started his mission! We chose to be on bikes and I kinda wanna serve on bikes haha🤫🤫.  We had interviews with President this we...

Hey! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always. This week we saw some ups and downs and we are having a great time but not a ton of progression is going on. Candy and Kevin, 2 kids we are teaching, cancelled this week and Cristian is still slammed with work.  If you all remember Lupio, he came to sports night and has great fellowship now with la banda! Lots of Banda members have got new jobs and it's diminished a little but we are still holding out!! Anyways, lupio got hospitalized this week for tons of medical issues. It was so sad. He texted us asking for help and saying he needed to go to the hospital but we couldn't do anything because we are missionaries 😥. Don't worry we got the help he needed and he got released from the hospital 2 days ago! We are passing by in a couple days.  We had appartment inspections and they loved the cleanliness, again. We got an ant problem tho so we bought some liquid ant traps and now there's just piles of dead ants😂. We a...

Hey!! Hows it goin!!? This week was a good week, as always.  This week was a slower missionary work week and it took a second to get used to being the SETL because I have to do lots of other things that arent teaching and helping like everyone pictures missionaries doing. Missionary is different now a days. This week we had a great lesson with Lupio and we felt the spirit really strong!! He has had a really really hard life and he has moved here and got a job but has no money because he has to pay off whoever brought him over. He also works like an hour away but has no car so he walks! We are trying to help him clear his schedule for church but it is super hard. We had a great lesson with Jorge and it was in the church building too. We felt the spirit really strong.  I also had MLC again this week and it was good! Got to see some good friends and it is always super cool to see President Carter Recieve revelation on the spot. Super cool to see other peoples ideas and thought pr...

  Hey! Hows it goin?? This week was a good week, as always.  Once again, classic missionary things going on. We got transfers and I will be staying here with my companion Elder Nunley!! We are excited. Although the work has been slow as we have been handing people off that are ready for baptism, we are excited to tackle new challenges.  A challenge that we faced this week was HEAT! It is pretty humid here and this entire week, it was about 110 degrees. The lord gives us strenght like none other but there is just one one outside or anything. We have been coming up with great ways of contacting people here in Simi. We had lots of good times though. We got together with Rocio and Julio and the gang and had an awesome dinner together!! We had some great lessons and found some cool people. Lupio is doing good. He said he is going through some tough times right now feeling alone and such but I think with La Banda here, God is going to answer his prayers. English class here has ...
