Temple and New Year

 Hey everyone!! Watsonville California is great and the mission is great! We had an awesome temple trip and endowment session a couple weeks ago and it was so awesome being back in the temple to do that. It was only my second time doing an endowment session so it was a really great spiritual experience. We also had transfer calls on Saturday and so I'm going to now be a ZL (zone leader) here in Watsonville and will be in a trio with the two other zl's until one leaves to Chile for his original mission assignment on the 13th. Gonna be a great next transfer and am super excited for it, such a great mission with an awesome mission president and missionaries sacrificing time with families, work, and school to be out here.. A lot of great new goals that we have set for the new year. A big one is our goal to jump from our 2021 goal of 400 baptisms, that we were so close to hitting, to a new goal of 2,000 for 2022, after we had a mission conference from Elder Revilio, a member of the seventy to times our baptism ×5 for the new year. Its a crazy big jump but I know its possible if we push to be ALL IN and exactly obedient in the work to get it done and change many lives. 


Going to be such a great new year though, but I'll keep it short for today. Hope everyone is doing awesome though, love hearing from you guys!

  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...
