General Conference, But a Week Later

So I haven't actually watched General Conference yet sadly but I will get to next week. So as a brief summary of our week, we did a service project to help some one renovate their house, we are still teaching and some of them seem golden, and we had fast Sunday. If you are just wanting to know how I'm doing, I'm great! I'm getting this out of the way so I can tell a long story but those that don't want to read it can see how I'm doing. 

So on Wednesday, we were on our way to San Isidro but on the way there, we didn't feel like we should go that way. So, we went back to central to see if that is where we were supposed to go. We felt the way to go was Puyupuyan, which we did. Then, all the people we were going to visit were not there. So, being kind of confused, we went to Naglicuan to try to visit a member that was in the clinic recently. On our way there, we passed the house of some one we're teaching. We thought we heard some one say elder from the house so we went to say hi. It wasn't the person we are teaching and they didn't even say elder but, as we were there, the person we are teaching drove up. We were able to teach a really good lesson. It was super powerful and then we were able to talk to the member that we had set out to talk to. 

I would urge you all to follow the prophet's council from this conference. The Lord will truly keep his side of the covenants you have made with him as long as you keep your side. I add my testimony to the countless others that President Russell M. Nelson is the Lord's mouthpiece on the Earth today and as we follow his teachings, we are truly following His teachings. I love you all!

PS: Oh! I don't usually forget these things but Happy Birthday to my brother Chris! And to Anna Low later this week! And to me later this week. It's so weird to me that I will be turning 19 in just 3 days but that's what's happening! Love you all again!

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...
