Still here in DC. June 3 2024

Hola Familia, amigos y Distrito! Como están? 


This week was a doozy, that's for sure! Let's just say I've reevaluated and have made good changes, and they've been good ones lol. Don't worry I'm fine, it was just a rough one. 

Anyway, we had exchanges with Elder Chapman and Elder Loose, I was with Elder Chapman and it was pretty alright. Just knocked a ton of doors and set some lessons up. Fue bueno. 

We're trying to get our most progressing friend named Alberto to church, he lives in the trailers where we always go to. Such a cool 86 year old man. Can't go to church cause he's got health problems but he lives it when we come over and read/study the Book of Mormón with him. He's got alzheimers and is forgetting things more and more but everytime we come over, he seems to remember more. He's definitely gonna get baptized at some point but if not in this life, for sure the next life 👍

Also, this week was a reevaluation week for me and Elder Paxton cause I guess we haven't been doing things super well and got level set by President at interviews this week. Funnnn. But I'm just focusing on my missionary purpose and my head is here in DC. Also I found out my visa may or may not be here, it's probably here, i found out in my interview with President cause I asked him about an update and he said that it got here 3-4 weeks ago. That definitely threw me for a loop cause I never got informed, but it turns out that President thought he sent me a message and that I got it but I actually never received anything, fue loco. It's all good though. The reason I'm not leaving yet is cause I've been on medication for quite some time and I've been off of it for about 2 weeks now, they've just been watching my health very closely and want to make sure that before they send me to Peru, that I'm in stable condition while off the meds. Cause the resources aren't the same there. Missionary medical has to approve it so I'm probably gonna be waiting one or two more transfers here in DC before I get an answer. They might approve it, they might not. I honestly feel fine as of now. President did tell me something that I needed to hear, he told me "It's not where you serve, it's how you serve" I've been having that as my quote now and it's changed my perspective, my head is here in DC and I'm serving the Lord and His children the best I can. Whether I stay here in DC or go to Perú or wherever, it's a pleasure to serve the Lord. Although Perú is still in my mind, not saying that that's not a possibility lol. 

Anyway, Me and Elder Paxton have better attitudes going into this next week and just helping people Come unto Christ 😁 Having a good attitude and good effort as a missionary brings miracles as what Elder Renlund told us in his visit to the mission a couple months ago and it's very true. 

That's kinda it, sorry there wasn't too many crazy miracles or things that happened this week but also, very funny last thing that happened today. We went with Elder Larson and Elder Meeks and got haircuts at this $5 barber shop in Annandale today and this Korean lady just absolutely 0 blended my hair on the sides and back, so funny bro😅I've got pics to just see for yourself.

Hope life is treating you all well, don't be afraid to send me an email or message now and then you goobers, I promise I read all of them and appreciate them, I just suck at responding. Anyways Chao! 👲🇨🇳

P.S. haven't started using Google photos for a mission album, should I start one 🤔 Ok, Paz!

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...
