Buenos días mis Padres!!

May 3, 2021

Buenos días!!!!! Last week i think i wrote too much and i think it just makes it too hard to read and plus I'd rather just tell you the stories anyways haha especially dad is off today, lets goooo!!!!!!! I love you all so much, talk to you soon!!! 

Lunes 

Lección con Paty y Diana!! Bap questions, super long story. Strreased me out big time. Paty has had some insane miracles though, saw the Cristus image in a dream. Also Diana felt the spirit make a shield around her when she went and talked to her pastores

Martes 

Zone Conference, straight fire. 

Diana is in the clear!!!!! President said immigration stuff isn't a problem at all!! Soooo relieved about that 

Found a new guy. Good lesson w Maribel! 

Neils running a mile at 9:40pm bc idek why 

Miércoles 

Some service in the am

$2 whopper Wednesday at BK

Taught Daniel the Palabra de Sabiduría 

Jueves

Cooler, rainy day! Kinda fun 

Interviews were so good!!! So much better in person. Also felt like President really knew me and was grateful for me. Asked me a little about E Hannemann anf his comp, wants to make sure they are doing alright. I think concerned about the hair mostly. Said he gave me Saballos because he trusts me. Told me to teach him exact obedience, acknowledged he is arrogant. Also talked about how Neilson has hisbown things. They are literally exact opposites. Said he gave me double duty or something like that haha. But he was awesome and honestly i feel like I feel the Spirit really strong when I meet with him. 

Really good lessons with Alicia, she said she's definitely interested in baptism!! But afraid of water too haha going to watch the bap on Tuesday tho. 

Good lesson w Alex! Haha had us come over an hour later to watch the draft. Super crazy to see Zach Wilson. Also his mom made us these milanesa tortas that were dang good. His mom can cook. 

And lastly fantastic lesson with Paty and Diana. All set for their bap interview! 

Viernes 

Food bank

Slower day, normally have District Council

Stopped by Alex's

Longest lesson of my life with Maribel wow. But she made us some elote, the mexican corn. I cant say the way she made it was very good but it was super nice. Also learned a ton of new words. Told us about all the awful things her husband would say to her. Super sad actually. And now Saballos likes to use all the Mexican swear words that are actually terrible 

Sábado 

Little bit of a slower day but still great 

Few suprise lessons over the phone

Went and saw Luis and Carmen play again! Idk if we will go back bc there were more ppl there and just not the best environment for missionaries. And freaking Saballos just starts requesting songs left and right and trying to record them all to listen to them later and then he got up and started dancing w these old Mexican ladies. Smh. But it was actually really great to see Luis and Carmen and they said they should be able to talk tomorrow evening!! 

Domingo 

Little crazy but good!! 

Church was great!! Fast and testimony meeting. Diana and Paty came! Alex came! Alicia was on zoom! After church was awesome but a little crazy, lots of things happening at once. Paty y Diana had their baptismal interviews which went great!! As well Alex got the preisthood!! And he asked me to give it to him! So it was me, E Neilson, E Saballos, Hno Gutierrez, Hno Robles del obispado, and then the two other priests Benji and Eddie. Lots of hands!! But it was super cool. Conferred the Sacerdocio de  Aaron and then ordained him to the office of a presbítero. Super neat experience, Alex is the goat. After that tho we showed Diana and Paty the jumpsuits and got them all ready to go! 

Luis and Carmen had an event come up which was a littlw sad, but we are going to keep trying. I love them so much. And still had a solid night! 

Compañeros 

This has to be the most interesting situation ive ever been in. Stretching me but blessing me in so many ways its absolutely insane and only can be described as God's will for me to be here with these guys. I'm both seeing huge blessings in this companionship but also some challenges. Exposes weaknesses and still being blessed with success. 

Saballos. Immature, arrogant, thinks he knows everything. Complains or finds something wrong with just about everything. Food from a member, movies, NFL. Has an opinion, always right. Bc hes also a really good teacher. Well spoken, and also speaks well, as in Spanish. Definitely a lawyer i guess.

Neilson. El pollito jaja. Two diferent ladys have said he looks like chicken little. A tender hearted dude that still does things that drive me crazy just a little at times. Says things like Judas preist, "dale yeah", zones out completely at times and just gives up in lessons, will get up and do random things during studies. And talks abt how much he loves Trump and I'm 99% sure Saballos is a lib. And isn't a great teacher still but that's coming along. Spanish is slowly getting better as well. Its just harder for some people i think. And today he broke is fast at like noon. That being said, I love him and hes such a kind hearted dude. I need to love him more but then sometimes he does things and I'm like what are you doing?! But we still do have a really good relationship I feel like, but he is one I think you can't show too much love for.

Ay wow. 

District Leader 

Fort Bliss Sisters. Late for interviews, said its my fault bc we didnt go to service. Also mad at me bc i didnt do a baptismal form. Which idk if that is my responsibility or theirs but either way it didnt get done. Got our post in finally but bugged about that. Gave them some carrot cake tho so hopefully that will smooth things out
