Rains came down, Floods came up





Hey! Hows it goin!?


This week was actually hectic to the max. Lets start.

As you know we had transfer day... Pranked, got a call monday night saying we needed to return to our apartments due to flooding in the area. It was pouring rain and our mission got flooded. Transfers were posponed a day and the next day we couldnt leave our apartments for a while. Check national news and the mercedes van in the back of one of the pictures is our mission car. Crazy times. So we did transfers on wednesday and couldnt do much on tuesday. Got my new companion Elder Aposhian and saw some good old friends then went to work. We had only a few days to prepare for the baptism because the time lost.

Transfer day I learned that I am also still SETL! So i will be continuing that, and also District leader as well and helping my new comp because hes new here! This transfers already great.

Felix got baptized!! He is such an amazing example to me. Everytime I ask him, how are you? He says, "Great". Theres nothing more too it and thats how he always is. He is amazing and a great example to those around him. Im glad I could be apart of it and I definitely made friends for life with him and his family. The 3 best parts of the baptism were; Me carrying a printer across the building not dressed in my baptismal close 5 min before it started with felix by my side. Next was when we walked into the room together after we changed and i croutched down next to him and we got to look at everyone there at the baptism for him. The last was as we entered into the bathroom to change after the baptism and i croutched down again and asked how he was... He said "Amazing". First time he hasnt been great haha. What an amazing example, he has so much faith. Got his mom and helped him get ready and then we confirmed him the next day.

We had interviews as well and they were good, got lots of things I need to do and the Lord is right by my side! Turn to him in every thought, doubt not, fear not. He is the savior of every single one of us and loves us. With the price he paid, he would never leave us alone. I thank those who also havent left me alone! More pics 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...
