Storms in Saginaw 7-26-2021

Hey everyone!


We worked a lot this week as well with members, even more than last week! And we got to celebrate some birthdays in the Zone, and we did some more service! We only had one exchange with Bay City 2 again this week, and that was fun! Things are starting to build here in Saginaw, but we are still trying really hard to find people to teach. We also experienced a Michigan storm. It was super short and super powerful, some tornadoes even happened pretty close.

Meeting with members has been such a blessing. It's so amazing to feel their spirit and love for missionary work and how much they love the gospel and want to share it with others. I feel things are going to pop off soon with new people to teach. 

It was also Elder Chilcote's birthday on Wednesday and Elder Flamm's on Friday. So that was cool. We had a party with most of the Zone today for P-day and made some crepes and played some games. Needless to say, we haven't been eating healthy this week either.

We did some more service for Don and Ann on Saturday and pulled some more weeds and mulched their flower beds. Next door to them was an abandoned house with a pool in the backyard. It was super overgrown and there was plants growing in the pool too. It was kinda cool to see. Right after that we did service for another lady named Jackie, and that was super amazing. We moved some couches and furniture, and afterwards she wanted us to pray together. Hopefully we'll be doing Bible studies soon with her.

We had a miracle as well this Saturday. We were dropping off a Book of Mormon of to a new lady that we taught over the phone and she wanted the book. While we were walking up to her door another lady that was driving stopped when she saw us. She was like "Are y'all Mormons?" And she said she was looking for us and wanted to learn about our church and wanted a Book of Mormon as well. So we stopped by her house and talked a bit and gave her a Book of Mormon. She really wants to change her life, and we know that Jesus Christ can do that. Her name was Kenisha.

Things are going well here I'm Saginaw! I'm grateful for the rain that I heard you got back home in AZ. The Lord does answer prayers! Have a good week!

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...
