THE Olive Garden

 Hey! Hows it goin!?

This week was a good week, as always. 

Well its been hard at work and miracle filled with happiness and sadness on all ends. Our grupito in Morro Bay is seriously doing so good. The relationships we have built with the ward members in the Morro Bay english ward are actually fantastic and the members keep on comin. We are throwing a little convivio después this next one cuz its my last sunday :|. The bishop in the Morry Bay ward likes me a ton and some of the other members do too. I dont understand why, but everyone likes me. I literally cant figure it out and its bothering me because im not doing anything special haha. I mention this for remembrance purposes and also just to express gratitud for all of the compliments people give me. Ranging from my work ethic to spanish and to calmness or whatever it may be. The sure courage and kindness some of these latinos have to go out of their way to talk about my spanish is very fufulling and undescribable. Maybe its just because they want to learn english jaja but many people have such kind hearts I am very grateful.

We saw some great spiritual moments this week. One of them being the blessing and healing of a member recently by the use of oil directly from Jerusalem. Had 5 people to church this week, and the potential is too much for us to handle right now. Got a dinner calendar for my last week and someone fed us on monday!! WHAOO! Had some fantastic lessons with our friends like Nancy, and Julio, maria and Aurora. Aurora is awesome and has a 6 year old Jade who is like our best friend. I need to take a picture with her jaja. Had a great exchange with Elder Merril and did a 4 mile hike which made me too happy. Went to THE Olive Garden for the first time in more than 2 years and yes, the breadsticks are still just so good. Love the Elders we are around as well. I sprained my ankle because im silly like that and could barley walk but then i was miraculously healed in 2 days. It was crazy cuz it was all swollen and stuff and huge and hurt but last night I was doing great! Had a great exchange with Elder Merril, and my area is like paradise. 

On a spiritual note, in 2 nephi 26-29, it talks about the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When I started my mission, somethings said within those scriptures hadnt happened. Now, as in today, many deny the power of the Holy One of Israel. I have seen some of these things come to pass. He will come again. The path is straight and narrow and their are those who fall away. Go to church.

I can confirm that my homecoming will be a few weeks after I come home on August 27! Ill put it in my next weekly too but thanks for your love and prayers. Pray extra hard this week. I love you and I will see you soon, ttfn tata for now.

  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.

  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...
