Great week!

 

Awesome week!

We had a lot of great lessons with our progressing friends.

Especially Miguel, Miguel is literally perfect, he knows so much about the gospel and he is so ready to be baptised!

He is great friends with a member family (la familia de Letona)

And we have all our lessons in their house, super awesome!

Elder Carty and I are becoming very fluid teachers 

He brought up the question of "who is the one who baptizes me"

And we told him, Brother Letona holds the keys, my companion holds the keys, and I hold the keys of baptism... so it is 100% your decision.

He then turned to me and said, 

"Tú me quiero bautizar"

In others words Miguel expressed he wants me to baptise him and I am extremely honored that he chose me :)

We had another exchange this week, with Elder moeller he has been on the mission for 3 weeks!

That day was very fun hes a little goofyball! Just like me, he came to my area, it was a fun day because i taught all the lessons and did most of the talking, but every time he wanted to say something I let him go and the gift of tongues carried him away it was so great! For a 3 week old missionary his spanish is great! Hes got a bright future.

This work is exhausting but it is SOOO AMAZING!!!

We are seeing so mamy miracles in our area each and everyday

On saturday, we had an awesome opurtunity to serve a super awesome member! She is so sweet.

She works for spark which is basically uber for groceries, her car broke down and she stsrted to cry snd said a prayer, after that she looked up and saw us! and she runs up to us and says "Elders Elders help!" She needed to get these groceries to her customer, but her car exploded, 

So we loaded up our bikes, and her cute little wagon and we walked the rest of the groceries to the customer.

She told us her conversion story where she went through a year worth of Elders teaching her before finally making the amazing decision yo be baptized by authority.

Thanks for all yall do I love ya!

I found some cool cars this week

6 months in compton SMILE!!!

This week will mark 6 months on the mission! 

And ive been in the same area since the beginning, and Ive seen a great change in the area for the better in the time ive been here, 

Quite exciting!

I am so grateful for the oppurtunity to be out on the mission

This week was fantastic!

We had 4 lessons this week with a member in the lessons

There is so much power in those members, we taught, but they truly testified, and touched the souls of our friends in a way that we couldn't.

We are seeing a lot of progress in our friends!

Yesterday we had a great miracle (we have seen SOO many miracles everyday!!!)

But yesterday in church our friend (miguel whos on baptism date and has an amazing testimony) came with us four elders and two more friends to see the baptismal font, we showed the font to our friends and had miguel (our friend) bear his tesrimony of the Book of mormon and the ammount of peace and blessings the gospel has already given him. Hes not even baptised yet and he pored his sould out in the name of jesus christ!

It was so rad!!

This work is the most exhausting thing ive ever done

But it is so amazingly rewarding!!!

Elder Carty and I bike upwards of 14-20 miles a day some days more!

"Magnify your callings"

Weve been set apart to bike, So we gonna bike!

Thanks for all yall do for support i love yall have a good week :)))

My new companion Elder Carty is amazing

We are working our butts off

We come home and pass out at 10:30

We are old people

Then we are up right at 6:30, run and play basketball

We made plans to be extremly diligent and obedient

This will be good for me 

Elder Carty is a great companion he loves all the things i do and we are both goof balls!

On saturday we had an great time at a members house for dinner she made some fantastic papusas, and we had a good time talking with her and her husband,

Then some of their family members from out of down dropped in to visit,

One olderish couple were Deaf!!!

I had the awesome expirence to try and remember my sign language, 

I held up a solid HOUR conversation!

My companion and the members were flipping out haha

Our friend Miguel, from Nicaragua, we showed him the baptismal font and extended an invitation to be baptised, he accepted it and said, i Will be doing this, and will be baptized on march 4!

Thanks for all the support it means a lot!
