Super Chevere Semana! April 22, 2024

Hey! What's poppin everyone! Another fuego week in Virginia! A lot happened this week so I'll get into it. We got to do back to back exchanges with the ZLs this week and with the Potomac C Elders. I was with Elder Ulloa and it was actually the first time I got to do an exchange outside of Oocoquan 😅 it was super weird and fun! We got Olive Garden and knocked on tons of doors in the afternoon and one Latino lady answered and said, "Oh, no Mormons, no mormons" first legit rude rejection by a Latino, fue nice. Anyway, we had a miracle after that just walking down the sidewalk on a really sunny day, this Latino guy pulled up right next to us and asked us if we could stop and pray for him around the corner, he had no money and wanted to die, so Elder Ulloa shared a scripture with him and then I prayed for him, he hugged us after and then waved at us in his truck afterwards. I hope he's doing alright now, I know for sure there are no coincidences. Then afterwards, we went to this ice cream place called Jimmy Ts after to do some Facebook and it was fuego😁 

We had quite a bit of lessons this week with our friends which is really good! We had a lesson with Nilda again, and We have other friends weve started meeting with like Roxely, and Augustin, and other friends!  We had lots of Member meals this week too actually with the Gomezs, Claros, Karel and her Mom, and others lol, twas fuego. It was a really fun week! 

Me and Elder Pérez made goals this week also to only speak español todo él tiempo because it's definitely gonna help me to learn a lot faster so wooooo let's gooooo!
Today we played pickleball with all the Elders in the zone and that was dope! Then we went thrifting and i got some new shoes , got some Pokémon cards cause I'm gonna start a collection (maybe) just for P day hobbies, and yeah! Life's good! 😄

Spiritual thought: 
I always love when the Savior is teaching His disciples or others in general, He truly is the way, the truth, and the life. If you ever feel like you can't achieve or accomplish or overcome weaknesses or hard things in your life, the Savior makes these things possible and bearable, because of Him, we are healed and saved from spiritual death. I invite all of you to have a more personal relationship with the Savior and get to know Him more personally, it's changed me so much and I know my Savior loves me and wants to bless me through His Atonement. And I just want to bless others with that love that the Savior has for them! 

John 14:27
27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

Have a great week everyone! 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...
