From A Hybrid To Bikes

 Whats up everybody! This week was pretty exciting for the most part. My comp and I switched to bikes this past week ughh but we're actually super hyped and are seting a goal to get some good cut legs by the end of this transfer haha. But we very much missed the rav4 hybrid, but not Twee, which is this annoying speed detector on the car that yells at you everytime u go a mile over the speed limit, which drove my comp crazy haha, but helped us stay safe 👍. We also got a ton of food from a new convert my comp baptized down in watsonville so we got a lot of delicious fruit from her. We also did some service for our member friend bro weaver who helps out with the spanish branch in san jose. He also loves taco bell and the chalupa because he never stops talking about it haha so he took us their after we shoveled some rocks for him. Yesterday at church their were probably twice as many people their than usual so we were really excited about that as well.


So update on Ricardo he left to Las Vegas yesterday so we will be reaching out to the missionaries about him out there. It has been pretty devastating for us, but we are trusting in God to watch over him. Some great news though is our friend Julia has her baptism this Saturday which she is really excited for and so are we. We have only met with her on zoom and not in person haha just because it has been more convenient for her as well as church on zoom. But she has been great with commitements and we are really hoping the baptism goes through with her for this week. We also have a friend named Brinda who we love. We have met with her a couple times and her knowledge and understanding of the book of mormon and the gospel is amazing. We invited her to be baptized last week and she said she would have to think about it some more but we really see things progressing well with her. 

I dont have a ton of time to write a lot today. But I hope everyone is doing great and I would love to hear from yall. God bless

  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...

Embrace The Suck

  Que pasa todos ustedes!!! So my p-day got switched to wednesday's now. Also this is my last week in the CCM! Crazy how fast it has flown by, but I have learned a lot and am ready to head out to San Jose.  This past week and half was very up and down. We started out the week beginning to start teaching out of the lessons of Preach My Gospel in Spanish and explaining scriptures in Spanish which was a big step up for the District. It was really tough at first, but through more and more practice and trusting in God, I have made great improvement. A lot of times I felt like I was not doing as good in the language as I should and that my abilities weren't the best. But something that has really helped not get discouraged and to keep pushing is that your choices show who you are far more than your abilities and as long as we are making the right choices and putting in the effort a step at a time, having faith in God, good outcomes will arise.  This past Saturday The ...

4 Weeks In, 2 To Go

 Hola mi familia y amigos Well sorry y’all for not writing for my first 4 weeks haha, please forgive my slacking, but I promise you’ll be hearing from me weekly from now on.    The virtual MTC (Missionary Training Center) has been going good though. I started on March 10th on a Wednesday. My companion and District are awesome, love them all to death. My companion, Elder Ashby is from Farmington Utah and couldn’t be more grateful to have him as a companion. The dudes a stud and has such a strong testimony of the Gospel. His nickname in the district is “Pops” because he’s the only one whose 21, which isn’t old at all, but because everyone else is 19, but also because he's like a true dad and loves saying “oh goodness” a lot haha. Shoutout to Elder Grothe, who isn’t the only Elder who everyone thinks is 35 haha. But all jokes aside, it's really because he cares more about our district than anyone else. Whenever someone in the District is having a rough day, he’s the first to...
