Sacrifice

 Hey everyone!! This last week was great. Went to Stanford campus for pday and checked out steph curry's house in atherton! Unfortunately hes in Denver for playoffs so we didnt get to teach him the word, but will try again when the offseason hits. We had a lot of good work going on this past week and what was really great was our friend Abraham got baptized yesterday! He's been taught for a long time by the missionaries but he finally made the decision. I'm so very grateful for him and his decision to heed the temptations of the adversary. He was telling us he had been so slammed with work this past week than ever and this guy works 24/7. Starts at 6am has a break for about 2 hours in the afternoon and then goes back to work and ends at 2am. And he had specifically gotten this sunday and saturday off for his interview and baptism and his work kept calling him in. He said it was really tough but ended up having to quit one of the jobs to make it for the baptism. I admired his faith and sacrifice though to put God first and promised that God would bless him for it and things will get better as he enters this path in his life. He knew that and after the baptism said he felt the love and spirit of God more than ever. So excited for Abraham and that was for sure the main highlight for the week. Thats about it for you guys and a scripture that I really learned a lot from this week is Proverbs 3:5-6. I invite yall to read it and I know it will teach and guide ya through week ahead. Love yall and keep putting God first!

  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...
