El bautismo


 Hey everybody, hope everyone is doing great! These last two weeks were very eventful and were great with a lot of good work done.

 
To start, our friend Gonzalo got baptized! It was such an exciting weekend for him and us, as he gotta do it at our branch presidents pool in his backyard, which was just awesome. The greatest thing with gonzalo though is the amazing progress he has made, his baptism was about a week and half ago and he has already gotten the priesthood and his temple recommend, so absolute beast. We love him though and am so excited to see where his great testimony of the gospel takes him. We also had our friend Diego put on date for June 26th this past week. He is 19 and speaks English, and is so awesome. We taught him last week about the gospel of Jesus Christ and right after we talked about baptism and the gift of the holy ghost, he immediatley asked us when he could get baptized. It was so awesome for us to hear and the spirit couldnt of been more present to feel. At first we said we would do july 3rd because he had a camp trip with his friends that was on the 26th of june, but then he tells us "no lets do june 26th, my baptism is more important than my friends." Again absolute beast! We love Diego and he is looking really strong for his baptism in two weeks. We are still having trouble with the Bello cruz family as its been tough to meet with them and Julia we still have not gotten in contact with so please pray for them, it has been tough not meeting with them, but we keeping our heads up and continue to look to do ur best to help them and for for the rest leave it the hands of god. 

Transfers were last week, which was an exciting week to watch all the testimonies of the elders and sister leaving back home, and also Elder Burrup and I got one more transfer together before he goes home as well, so round 2 is gonna be sweet and I am excited for the grind ahead. 

Thats about it for now, I am gonna start doing a better job of doing these more weekly haha I promise, but I love you all and love to hear from all of you! 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...
