MTC is Over... Now the Wait!

Hola Everyone!

     So I want to apologize because I forgot to mention that I don't get the opportunity to leave for Michigan until the 19th of October. So I am not in Michigan yet, but I simply cannot wait to get there. But I have these extra 2 weeks to spend with family, which I am thankful for. My dad seems to really enjoy it, he has taken me out to get wood and to run errands and to go work with him. It's strange because I have been told nothing specific to do in this time, but I simply have to choose what will best help me to become a better missionary on my own. It teaches me self-discipline and patience, which I both need.
     I miss my district from the MTC very much, but I know we all have to move on in the work and I know they will do fantastic. I could not have asked for better teachers and friends to make over 6 weeks, and we have already talked about plans to meet up afterwards haha. I am the last one to leave in my district.
     Another thing was we had General Conference this past weekend where our church leaders, Apostles and Prophet speak to us and uplift and guide us in our day. It was so amazing, I came with different questions and all of them were answered. I also have read a book about our early church history called Saints which taught me things I didn't know and helped grow my faith and testimony of Joseph Smith and the saints that sacrificed so much to build the foundation of this church. I am almost finished with the Book of Mormon again, and it is such an amazing book. I learn more and more each time I read it! These have truly been an amazing 6 weeks. One main lesson I learned from President Nelson is that we need to "Let God Prevail" in our lives in these ever increasing and uncertain times in this world. We have to always trust Him no matter how hard it gets.
     Here are the attachments:
1. My re-recording of the song I performed a couple weeks ago (Sorry, I might be able to play guitar, but I can't sing very well.)
2. My district with Hermana Terron (MTC teacher)
3. Part of our district dressing up again.

Not Phase 3? 3-29-2021

  Hello everyone! This week has been such a good week! We had some more Elders over to do exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week and it was really fun! And we got to do exchanges ourselves! It was a blast, we had the Gaylord Elders over and the Petoskey Elders. It was super fun, every time we have Elders come over we go to this soda shop called Rocket Fizz. I've been there so many times since I've been here, they  have all these fun flavors of soda! There are so many, and they are all come in bottles. When we are done we smash them with our bare hands. Yeah, that's right. We had a lot of good lessons this week, we met with Jon a few times, Shelly a few times, the Millner family a few times, Maida a few times, and it was great! Unfortunately, something came up for Maida's baptism and it will be postponed for now. But she is still super excited to continue learning and eventually be baptized! And some more exciting news! We were abl...

  Hey everyone! So Mexico has still been treating me well. I have been having more appointments with the bathroom this week, and we haven't had power in our apartment since Wednesday. And now we're out of gas for our water heater. But it's all good because the Gospel is true! Don't worry, it still has been a good week, we had a lot of blessings and cool experiences. We had a baptism for our friend Rosa García so that was awesome. They had me conduct so I could work on my Spanish, I didn't want to but it turned out okay.  Rosa was definitely prepared, and she is so good! Her daughter was baptized a few months ago, and I think that's what's been helping her coming into the church and believing all of it. They fed us breakfast one morning since we don't have power and brought us tacos one night. They're so good! Also bus rides here you have to hold on for life!  I wonder how often they have to replace their brakes, they use them a ton. But we rode the b...

Jeffrey R. Holland, Ice cream, and Water for Baptisms 11-8-2021

Hello everyone! So this week was crazy as normal, and I know I always say this, but there was a lot of miracles! Some brief stuff: It was one of the missionaries birthdays in our zone so we went and bought him a cake and celebrated with him for like 20 min. We visited Central Puebla last P-day, and it's full of shops and culture, it's so cool! And today we went to this cool burger place, the shakes were wild! We had baptismal interviews that went well for our friends thanks to our district leader and mission president. My Spanish has come a long way since I've got here, God is good. It's all Him in this work! I bought some Halloween mask, and yeah. It's really funny too, because kids only want money instead of candy for Halloween. 😂 And they dressed up and did that for 4 days after Halloween too! But yeah, I just want to share miracles and cool moments with you. (And remember, miracles come from acting in faith.) 1. We had a baptism yesterday, and the c...
