Elder Jack Plumb's San Jose, California Spanish Speaking Mission March 10, 2021 - 2023

  Como estamos!!! The work is going good here in Gilroy and we have seen some good stuff happen lately. I have a new companion whose name is Elder Johnson and we are nearing the end of the transfer together and will probably go another which would make it my last one which is weird to think about.  A miracle we saw last week, after not having a lot of progress with our friends since maria's baptism, was with our friend Miguel and his uncle Zacario. We had received a referral from the Spanish sisters in Hollister about him wanting to learn more Spanish which is ironic with him being from Mexico but his first language is actually Mixteco which is a dialect down there. However when we met him, he could communicate pretty good and after telling us about wanting to learn more Spanish we asked if he was down to do it at our church 5 minutes away and so he grabbed  his uncle to give him a ride and had a really good disc...

  Saludos a todos!! Gilroy is going great! I have now just spent 1 transfer here(6 weeks) and I'll be staying here for another. My comp elder Thompson will be leaving unfortunately and I'll be getting a newer missionary again whose in his 3rd transfer named Elder Johnson who is actually the trainee of one of my trainees who I had a year back. So he'll be my grandson which we call on the mission haha. This transfer flew so quick that I totally always kept forgetting to write sorrrry but just keeping up the streak of once a month haha. I'll try to write more often though. Gilroy and the work is great though down here and we are seeing good success miracles! It's a spanish branch down here that's struggling a bit  and we also cover the english ward here. We are working a lot with both though and have been getting the bike grind going. We also had our friend maria get baptized in the english ward yesterday which was such a great miracle to see! Such a great example ...

  Saludos a todos!!! This email forgot to get sent out 2 weeks ago lol but her yall go. We had an awesome past couple of weeks here in Menlo Park. I have been here now about a total of 7 and half months and transfers are this upcoming week so I belief I most very likely will be out which will be tough but trying to make the most and get the most done in this area to leave it off strong.  We have really kicked it off with some awesome new people that we are teaching and there have been some awesome miracles from it. From this past Wednesday we had zone conference going on up till 5:30 with a lesson every 30 min after so it was a super busy day. When we got to our 7:45 apt at the church that was with some of our friends, that are members Jose and Talache were bringing, they told us they weren't gonna get there till 8:15 and we had a lesson up in redwood city at 8:30. So we then decided to ask one of our other member friends hno Zárate who was already there for the lesson to see ...
