Pasqua 4/23/2019

ahh whats up eveyone i hope you guys had an awesome easter and a great week.

So this week started off with a conference in cordoba which is awesome i love em they always pump me up so much for missionary work. i also get to see all my boys from the mish and get letters from home woot woot.

Despues de eso tuvimos intercambios con los lideres de la zona y fue bueno yo tuvo con elder gingles mi primer lider de zona en cruz del eje. somos muy bien amigos y yo pudo aprender mucho de el y este translado es su ultimo en la mission antes que el termina su mission. 

haha then we headed back to good old rio segundo with the mentalidad that we were gonna kill it for the three days we had left in the week. so we decided to take only thrity minutes for lunch and then just keep grinding and we were able to get 5 investigators to church!!! The most this branch has seen in over 5 months. so we were super pumped about that but then we were destroyed for the weekend and dead beat tired but it felt so good to finally see people in church. 

Update on gabriel y familia so these guys are doing awesome and are able to see blesssing of the gospel everyday so thats super cool to watch the gospel work in peoples lives like this. we are working on getting them married so they can recieve the blessing of having a family inside the commandments and then they can be baptized and recieve even more blessings.

This week was super awesome for me i was able to keep my head up a lot more than last week and think in my savior a lot more and all he did for me and all the blessings i have recieved including this chance i have to serve his children. i know we all have hard moments but jesus christ knows them all and wants us to confide in him. he made the ultimate sacrifice for us and we need to try and remeber that in every moment of our day. i love my savior and heavenly father so much give so much thanks for this chance i have its a one in a million experience and i only have two short years to wear my saviors name on my pocket, but i encourage all those even without a nametag to share this amazing gospel we have to everyone we come in contact with.

Thats all for this week i hope we can all keep this easter spirit with us and remember he did everything for us.

4/15/2019 Grinding Week

hey guys hows everyone doing? hope you all had an awesome week. 

so nothing to special happened this week kinda just the normal grind of contacting all day haha.

but we finally saw some miracles this week.

So first of all this lottery girl that we met she always hooks us up with candy and references cause we help her with her english, she is super cool. so this week she gave us the address of her sister to go talk to so we went and found her house and inside was nuts i felt like i was back in the states ive been so used to just a concrete box for houses but this girl was loaded it was crazy. but we ended up teaching her the plan of salvacion and it was an awesome lesson she lost her husband five years ago  and was living with her two kids. we were able to testify that we can see our families again and that this life is not all there is and she accepted it really well so i hoping we can keep teaching her.

Other miracle we found was a familia we found contacting at like 10 at night which means nobody is home and nobody wants to talk to us but we said we were gonna work anyways to show god we want to be obedient and work hard. and we were blessed for it we kocked on a very humble house and found the familia of gabriel benjamin kevin gabriel 2.0 and natalia. they are a super cool family and their youngest boy benjamin has a lot of help problems and he has to sleep sitting in a chair so they have a lot of challenges in life but said when they read the book of mormon as a family they felt closer together and were able to see many mini blessings. im crazy excited to keep teaching these guys i love it when a whole family has the chance to accept the gospel together so ill keep the updates on them.

We had a zone conference this week so i got to meet a couple more missionaries so thats always fun also met a 6'5 250 kid who was just playing tight end at byu he is new in the mish. but also got to hang with some old friends from the ccm.

it was my comps birthday this week so we did nothing special hahaha the life on the mish the birthday is just one other day to grind so not super exciting but we got ice cream that night so woot woot.

Thats kinda all that hapened this week sorry not to eventfull haha but it was a good week for me i felt the spirit a lot and i can see day by day my love for teaching is growing its the best thing in the world to be able to testify of this gospel so often everyday and i encourage everyone of you to do the same it doesnt require starting with id like to bear my testimony and end with in the name of jesus christ but just try to share little truths that have blessed your lives in any way and keep being amazing examples.

love all you guys and thank you so much for the amazing support im recieving from you guys hope you have the best week.

6 Months 18 to go 4/9/2019

alright so this week i finessed and the mission time didnt change to 18 months but i was right about coffee so a win and a loss.

 but seriously conference was one of the best things ever for me it was so amazing to watch all the other times i watched conference i kinda just listened and then never took the advice and actually applyed it to my life but this last conference as a missionary and i was glued to the screen i loved every second there were so many amazing talks with so much council one of my favorite talks was given by becky craven in the saturday morning session it was so good to me she gave a big cane drop and called us all to repentence but really we need it. we have all become a little slacked on the basic things we need to follow in the church. this conference had a glaring theme and it was the gospel of jesus christ the basics. first faith in jesus christ, repentence, baptism, and endure to the end. we need to study these basics things and follow them everyday and get better and better everyday. i encourage everyone to go over these talks as much as you guys can there is so much wisdom and in case you didnt hear from pres. nelson we dont have much more time.

This week i was studying wordly happiness vs the gospel happiness  was wondering a lot about why sometimes people outside of the gospel experience a lot more happiness than we sometimes do. then i was reading in 3 nephi 27 11 which says 11 But if it be not built upon my gospel, and is built upon the works of men, or upon the works of the devil, verily I say unto you they have joy in their works for a season, and by and by the end cometh, and they are hewn down and cast into the fire, from whence there is no return.   

so that is super cleary stated that yes through our own power as men we can provide happiness for ourselves for a season but it will never last unless we are built upon the gospel of jesus christ he is the only way to find true and lasting happiness. so that was my studies for this week hope you enjoy.

not to much else happened this week still just grinding and finding some souls to save through this amazing gospel. i testify we have a true and living prophet who litterally recieves revelation for all of us. i know this is church is true and love this gospel more than anything.

good luck to you all this week love you and hope you have the best week.

No time 4/3/2019

hey guys sorry super short email this week i have been doing well here in rio segundo already have gotten sick once but still grinding the people seem to be a little bit more stubborn here so thats super hard but there is always someone prepared for the gospel and im excited to see what happens here.

super stoked for conference this week cant wait to see what changes happen and what changes do not happen. also i would like to silence a rumor from good old utah, coffee in my opinion cannot be removed from the word of wisdom it is a substance that has side effects on the body and is addictive which takes away our agency haha so that one isnt coming true sorry guys.

love you all have the best week
