The harvest is great and the laborers are few. 5-23-2022

Hola a todos!


This was a good first week to start off this transfer. We invited 2 people to be baptized, we found 4 new people to teach, we gave 25 copies of the Book of Mormón to people and we had 10 people come to church. It was great. 😁 

My new companion Elder Webster is really good, he is probably the best at contacting and most dedicated that I've seen on the mission. He always contacts people on the convis, which I hate doing so that's cool. And he always contacts girls around our age and he always gets their numbers and gives them a Book of Mormon. 😂 So it's been fun and interesting to watch. And he definitely is from the Midwest. He reminds me a little bit of Michigan, because the people in Michigan talk quite a bit. And he does too. He's good.

So this week we had a devotional as a mission and we read a letter together that was from Elder Gong (one of the apostles in the world today) and it was directed to all of Mexico. In the letter he said many times "Now is the time for Mexico" and so the time is right for miracles and blessings to be poured out on Mexico. And we are already seeing its effects. And we will see much more.

One of those blessings we've seen is we finally got the chance to meet with our stake presidency, and it was a really good meeting. We planned that we will have a meeting with them every other week from now on, and they told every Bishop that we need to be in the ward councils and it was great. After trying for 6 weeks to meet with the Stake president it was such a great blessing to be able to meet with them and to plan. And another day this week for food, the stake President took us to eat at a buffet so that was super cool. He seems to have a lot more trust and respect for us now. It's great.
 
We also had interviews with President Montejo this week. And it didn't end well... My last companion had gone to another area in the zone and he is like a phone wizard, and he found a lot of stuff the last Elders had done and told President in interviews. And so two missionaries from our zone got shipped out of the zone super quick, and we're pretty sure they're at home. So we now have 6 missionaries in the whole zone. And 8 wards. 😅. We think we're going to receive another ward this week but we're not sure. And so we can see that the harvest is great and the laborers are few...

Even though that was sad, and even though a lot of people say they don't want to hear us, the work is still moving forward with a lot of speed. And miracles happen every day! 😁

I love you all, and hope you 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...

The only light I need is the light of Christ! 10-2-2021

  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...
