The DAWG Pound

 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 of faith and strength, she never let Satan get her down at the toughest moments and she carried on to receive such a spiritual and eternal blessing of baptism. Something I learned as we went to the temple this past week is that the temple is not only the literal house of the Lord but also the DAWG Pound. To me the meaning of dawg is a true disciple of Jesus Christ and as I was sitting there in the celestial room something new that brought me joy was seeing the joy of the missionaries around me and I just thought to myself wow there's only dawgs in here haha but for real that's something new I really learned and felt in the temple is joying in others joy and it has well been something this whole past 6 weeks I have seen more. This month is the time to light the world and as you all go to serve and love those around you, you will find greater joy in the joy of others.

Yo se que vive mi Senor
Les amo!
Love, 
Elder Plumb

  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...
