This week is sponsored by turtles

We saw a lot of turtles this week

Turtles, a lot like Jesus, go about doing good, we can learn a lot and go about doing good ourselves!

Ive learned 3 things very important this week

1:Listen, listen when you talk, listen when you walk, listen when you sit, Listen when you go to church, listen when you go to district council, listen when you sleep, listen always always always,

Listen to people, listen to surroundings and listen to the spirit.

This has blessed me a lot!

2:there are ALOT of people and they are ALL beloved sons and daughters of God!

3:stressing about anything is pointless

This week i hit 11 months! Time flys quick! What really struck me was the fact that I only have 13 months left, which kinda freaks me out because it felt like yesterday i had 24 months left

This week we had a great week!

We found 7 new people.

 set another baptism date with our friend Olga and our friend luis will be baptised this sunday!

This past week we got to go through the temple! That was such a blessing!

Take advantage of those temples they bless your life. :))

We have been working hard biking in the heat, its starting to get a little toasty now Weve have been talking to everyone and have seen many miracles with that!

Im loving this work! It is the most amazing thing there is!

Also guess what!.. mom,.. I bought sunscreen and use it with my own free will and choice :))

Im changing and becoming a better person, evryday little by little

Its my companions last week of his first two transfers, Im excited.for him and his future!

All the people I have met are such blessing to the world, i am so very grateful for them and my family! And all my friends

Happy fourth of JULY (Almost)

This week was full of ups

We found 3 people this week,

Juan, gisele and julio

Juan, we found him chilling with his dog on a bench, and we just sat down with him.

We talked to him shared our purpose and exchanged numbers,

We then passed by sunday and there he was, we shared the restoration with him and gave him a Book Of Mormon,

Gisele is the sister of an inactive member named mike. They are both very sweet and nice

Julio was a great miracle, hes one of the most normal people ive met!

I know that sounds wierd but there are a lot of kookoo heads around these parts.

We found him on his porch and most of his family are members. We set a return date with him, went back on tuesday and there he was with his son waiting for us.

It was very lindo.

Because usually people say ohhh sure you can come by this day, and they are never there.

Ive started running consistently in the mornings, biking during the day and a bit of weights at night.

One Elder told me something in the begining of my mission thag stuck with me: "Elder, you're gonna lose your motivation to excercise", I took that to heart and im gonna prove him wrong!

We also have a friend named luis whos got a baptism date set for 22 of july so in 3 weeks, he is understanding little by little the importance of the BOM, and he is starting to apply the Gospel of Jesus Christ in his life!

We did an exchange with Elder Silva hes a sweet kid who knows everything, i love him to death, the picture of us biking explains him well haha

This week we could see that we were truly guided into the right places!

As long as we be good boys and good girls; and keep our covenants god will guide us right where we need to be :)

This saturday I was able to visit the baptism of one of my old friends in my last area named Jacob, I was only in that area for 3 months and didn't really think I made a big difference but all the members I talked to we're very excited to see me and even Jacob who was baptized was very excited to see me! 

More than 3 months ago I had the amazing opportunity to baptize gerardo (jacobs grandpa) and last saturday i got to witness gerardo baptize his grandson: Jacob, it was such a tender moment! I almost began to cry, but im becoming a man so that wasnt an option.

Anyway

I love you all

Take care be safe

Love one another :))
