Happy Valentine's Day

It's also kind of hard to sum up this last week. So instead all just get into it. 

I feel like not many notable things happened this week. We had FHE for one of our investigator's birthday(her mom is a member) and we talked to her brother who is a teacher at a catholic school and we had a good conversation about the gospel and we asked if we could meet with him again sometime to just talk about religion for a while and he seemed super excited about it because he has some questions that he thinks we can answer. That was pretty cool. On Sunday, Elder Tuiaki and I were the back ups if the speakers didn't show up(of course) but they ended up coming in time so that was a relief but I felt like I had a good talk figured out based on this weeks Come Follow Me chapters. Jesus really does know what you are going through and all you have to do to see that is act on His words "Follow me." Something from the booklet really stuck out to me. It was the question would you have the faith to drop everything and follow the Savior and as I was thinking about it I got a little discouraged because I couldn't think of the things I would drop to follow Christ but then I realized, I'm already doing it, I just forgot. Being out here is doing exactly what He was telling me to do. That filled me with a lot of hope knowing that what I'm doing is what God wants me to do. That was the biggest spiritual thing of this week. We had dinner at the church again on Sunday and while we were there, the adults got into a bit of an argument about tattoos because Sister Mailo has one. It was kind of funny to listen to but kind of frustrating at the same time because they kept turning to me to explain it but whatever I said didn't seem to make any difference, so yeah. It was fine though. That's about it for this week!
Love you all! Hope you have a great Valentine's day and Single's Awareness day! I also just realized that my birthday is in 2 months from today so that's fun! Have a great week and know that all of you are in my prayers.

New Companion!

This is Elder Saberdo. He's my new companion here in Ballesteros. He's great! Now that you know him, I can get to my week. A lot happened but mostly we just visited the members this week so that they could meet Elder Saberdo. We also met this Nanay on Saturday night and just kind of invited her to church. The member we were working with that day waited until after our conversation to tell us that she is crazy. On Sunday, she came to church and started asking people for money and apparently, later after we left, she started calling people devils and went hysterical so one of the members called the police. So that was super fun. But, on another note, my companion has a super strong testimony so our lessons have been going great! I'm excited for this next week! I hope you all had and will have a great week! I love you all and I know that God has a plan for you! He will help you through anything you have a problem with if you just pray to Him!

Lots of Rain!

I promise my companion is not as crazy as my pictures make him seem. He just is a goof. Also, I'm wet in that picture because it was raining. You just can't see it. Happy Birthday to my Uncle David and Elder Kirkby! This week, we were able to find in a very natural way. Namely, it was pouring rain and someone offered us a ride to central. We found out that they lived in our area and we were able to introduce ourselves to them and share a bit before we got to central. We got so wet that day, it was easier to see without my glasses than with them! I was absolutely soaked through my clothes. Not only that but the lightning was blindingly bright and the thunder sounded like the end of days. It sounded like an earthquake! It was really fun to be a part of because I, like my sister, love rain. We were also able to find by playing basketball with some members and their nonmember friends. That is one of my favorite ways to find to be honest. You really can find using things that you li...

Fun With Friends

*Editors note: This week, you'll see his last two emails* Sunday, June 23, 2019 This week was crazy but not like really busy crazy, more like fry your brain crazy. It's hard to explain so I won't try but I will tell you some things about this week. So this week, we didn't have baptisms scheduled but we were able to attend the baptisms of the other Elders in our district and not only that, President Peterson was there! He was here for interviews but stayed for the baptism. We had a funeral we were invited to attend for a member as well as one of our investigators passed away. That was crazy because we had talked to him the day before. So that was a bit rough. I just find solace in the fact that now he can be taught by some of the most experienced missionaries ever. Anyway, none of the lessons we had this week are really standing out to me but it was a good week. I have been reading Jesus the Christ in my studies recently and I am just in awe of how many years it too...
