  Como estamos!!! Sorry it has been so long everyone! I'm still in Menlo Park and now 4 weeks into my 4th transfer here. I have a new companion again and his name is Elder Banks and he's a stud! He's a great example of love that he shows to all and has great high energy in getting the work done.  It has been so cool to see all that has happened since I have been in Menlo, a big one being the baptism of Stefani Gurrola. She was so determined the whole time to not let adversity stand in her way. It was such a really cool spiritual experience to see the change of this family, starting from the parents, to her husband junior and then her, it's an experience I'll never forget. We went over to the house 2 days after the baptism last week and the whole time we could just see a countenance change in her. We asked her to give the closing prayer and she just smiled the whole time and gave an amazing prayer and the spirit was so strong to just feel and see the change of this l

Miracles in Menlo

 Que hongos todos!!! Menlo is going great right now, we are seeing many miracles and awesome progress in our ward and area. We right now have our friend Stefani Gurrola who is on date for July 30th who is part of a part-member family. We had worked a lot with the parents who were inactive for a bit and now for the last month of them being active we were able to get to know their son Junior, whose inactive and his girlfriend Stefani and their kids who live with them. We had an awesome virtual temple tour with them which works amazing miracles and we set a date for the 30th of July! Mainly so far out because they need to get married, and so much recently we have been working a lot with that. We also just had transfer calls and sadly after only being in Menlo for 6 weeks my companion Elder White is getting moved out to Hayward, which we were shocked about but I'm excited for Elder Biteman whose coming up. So for the moment I'll be here till early august which I'm hyped about a

Pupusas and an Apostle of the Lord

  Hey everyone! Some recent news is we just had transfers last week and I'm staying here in Menlo Park and got a new comp named Elder White! He's an absolute dawg and knew him a bit already and it has been an awesome grind in the work recently. A lot of awesome things are happening here in Menlo and a lot of pupusas that I have had because just about the majority of latinos we know and talk to are from El Salvador, which is great because the food is great and the people are hilarious. And speaking of El Salvadorians, our friend Carlos is from there and he has his baptism for this Saturday. However, last night he wasn't able to pass the interview, so we might have to postpone the date, but please pray for him to endure through the struggles he faces. Also a beautiful thing that happened was at our Spanish BBQ for mothers day, there was apparently a baptism going on as well for Elder Neil L. Andersen's grandson, so we ended up running into him, "on accident", an
