Another week has passed! April 15, 2024


Yo wassup everyone! Another week down in the field 🙌 honestly I'm vibing with it more and more, fosho. Anyway this week was fuego for a lot of reasons. 


We met this cool guy named Wab outside of this Safeway in our area and dude is so chill, we were doing our contacts on the bench and he just came up to us and telling us how he's had problems with drugs in his life and hows he's from Afghanistan and speaks farsi fluently, he told us we were so nice to him and he loves talking about things and being real with people. So he's definitely one of our homies now. We started teaching this family this week of a mom and her two sons and her sons just play video games all day and don't give much respect to their mom which I felt bad for her. But it was cool cause Brandon her son had questions to us about God and they spoke English so we basically taught them the first half of the Plan of Salvation which was cool. Hopefully they can read the Book of Mormón and pray about it so we can have them progress. I'm definitely more confident in my Spanish and members are telling me I'm getting better which is fuego 🔥 It was fast and testimony meeting this week and I bore mine in Spanish, and so did Elder Perez. I know the Spirit is real cause I've felt it very strongly this week in certain experiences just talking and teaching to people about the Restoration and Jesus Christ, it really is a special pleasure to do this everyday 🙏 🫡  I've also felt like my prayers are more sincere to my Heavenly Father than they ever have been this week, it just feels like He's always got my back through everything which is honestly such a comforting feeling. I invite you all to have more sincere prayers with Heavenly Father this week and not make it sound like a shopping list. 

Another thing this week, my bike is absolutely atrocious lololol, the brakes are super worn out, the casket and chain are bad, I have no emergency brake, AND the right  pedal broke 😅  but luckily Elder Perez picked up his bike today from the shop so I can go back to borrowing Elder Perez-Riveras bike WOOOOOO! Hasta la vista to that piece of work. 

We had a great P-Day today, we played volleyball with the Hermanas at the Leyselvania Park, and I made Banana Bread believe it or not, never thought Id see the day when I'd bake something lol and it tasted good 😀 

Anyway. Life's good man! Hopefully my visa for Perú comes soon but if not, I'll just keep serving here! Peace!

Vamos a Peru pronto, yo prometo July 22, 2024

Hey yall, back at it again as usual, pretty slow week but also good! -Had interviews with President Macpherson at the mission home after district council this last Wednesday, and they went super well! It's pretty cool to just wait a couple of minutes for your interview as you see Elder Rasbands grandkids messing around with their poodle dog lol. Their family is so righteous and awesome! Their son got set apart by Elder Rasband himself and is leaving in like 2 days to Costa Rica! We talked about my situation with my visa still on if I'm ready to go and he told me that it's my choice whether I want to stay here or go to Perú. Obviously Perú but I still was unsure since if it was the right time or not. He told me to pray about it what would be the best decision cause he doesn't want me in a limbo state anymore, me too lol. Not long after I got spiritual confirmation that God is giving me the choice, and he'll work with me either way, pretty cool that God loves and re...

Week 25 June 24, 2024

I got sent to Peru!! Haha, jk, I'm still here in Cub Run heheheh Hopefully I didn't give you a heart attack Mom. Anyway, this week was great!!I loved it! I'll relax some of the highlights! It was transfers and me and Elder Paxton are still comps here in Cub Run! Elder Larson left Cub Run B and we have Elder Ulloa here now Me and Elder Paxton got one of our friends to church, his name is Luis, dude is so down to earth and we weren't even expecting him to come cause all I sent him was a good morning message and how he's been, so that was a mini miracle! He didn't stay the whole time cause I think he had work and his Kids to get back to but good news is that he's interested in coming back with his whole family next week! We're hoping to start teaching them and get them baptized cause they are so nice and down to earth and ready for the gospel! We went to Panda Express with Hermano Loza on transfer day to welcome Elder Ulloa into the Branch...

Week 26, July 1 2024. New President

Hey yall, I'm chillin out here in DC still. Here's the deets of the past week. Found 4 new Venezuelan friends in the trailers through literal coordination from God, It was pretty sick, we had a fire Spirit filled lesson with them on the restoration. They have lots of potential but they just need to set up with us again and respond to our messages instead of just read them.We got 5 friends to church! Luis came back again with a family member this time, now we just need to find a way to teach him when he has time off from work through out the week. We're probably gonna have to just teach him through videocall or texts somehow. Fue bueno! Also, we saw William Starley at church with his family(aka Elder Starley) that was sick! It was a great reunión afterwards and it was good seeing one of the most legendary Elders to grace the mission. We also had a lot of unexpected and unplanned lessons throughout this whole last week with Grey points and other friends, super good! We...
