Family and friends hope all is going great over there! 😀

Well We are on the last week before exchanges and I'm hoping to be able to stay here through the holidays with Elder Muralles. I have really became super close to the people in this area and as always i am not  looking forward to the goodbye. We well see though. I'm hoping me and my companion can stay together one more exchange in this area but whatever happens will be perfect.

This past week we had a super cool experience while contacting. Wednesday we where contacting most of the day in an area that's called the la manuel. We had touched literally almost every door because its a subdivision super small. We had an appointment at like 7:30pm and when we went there nobody was home so my companion ask well where do you want to go. And i thought of this one house that we had contacted earlier in the day and thought they might be home. Turns out we went and sure enough about a 35 year old man answers the door and didn't even give us a chance to talk just says come on in. Turns out just last year he lost his family because of his drinking addiction. He was super thrilled to here the message we had and is one of our positive investigators who is progressing. I don't know why that was the house that popped up in my mind but i know that God just loves his children so much and always looks for ways to help them. I know this man needs some help and i know we have the help he needs to make it through this trial. We will see how it goes.

Love you all! have good week!

Alright everyone! This week has been a good one! We have been contacting like crazy people to try to find more people. Honestly its has been a very tiring week. We were contacting and contacting and not finding people with potential. I found a scripture during personal study that really helped me and when we put it in practice it really came true. The scripture is 

Helman 3: 35 

Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.

So we decided to fast to find people. In Honduras it is super hot and especially for me it is difficult to fast because of the sun and humidity but we did it and i kid you not we finished the fast and contacted and found some that has a ton of potential. The scripture is so lit! After this experience clearly my testimony grew and i felt that once again my faith grew in Christ and i waxed stronger in my humility. 

You know sometimes we all want to have a firmer testimony and this is 2 things essential to gain a testimony of this gospel. As i have done these things i have felt a firmer and firmer faith in Christ. After this experience i have felt again of my Savior's love for me and his loving, helping hand that he always has extended. 

Love you all!

Well this week was a good one as always. We were able to have baptism this past week. IN the mission sometimes you feel like there are people that were prepared for you in specific and i feel like i came to this mission to help Stefany. This area has truly been such a neat area for me. I'm getting very attached to the people here. The members are great and the people that have accepted the gospel in this area are just growing immensely in the gospel. It truly has strengthened my testimony to see the people's lives before and after they accept the gospel. 

Right now we are in the process of helping a few less active members as well get back to church. IN this area especially we have focused in on less active members and it was so great to see that all of them went to church this past Sunday. We actually had 6 less active member go to church with us and wow it made my heart so happy. We hope and pray always that these people can come back and stay. We will see what happens though. 

Thats all for this week!

This past week has been great! I have a new companion and he from Guatemala. He is super cool kid we are getting along great. It was rough to start of the week saying goodbye to my old companion. I really just look at him as family to me. Thayne and I finished our last day together with a family home evening with members and investigators. 

Well this past week i was able to give a talk in sacrament meeting. The bishop asked me to speak on the importance of scripture study. I would just like to challenge you all to put time to read your scriptures. Its something so simple that helps us to strengthen our testimonies so much. we all have hobbies and i would like to challenge you all to take 10 minutes out of something that you do often to read the scriptures. For example if you watch the TV for an hour take 10 minutes out of that time and read the scriptures.  watch TV for 50 and the other 10 give your time to the lord and read. I just want to say that small simple things are what bring blessing to our lives. As we read, pray, and go to church we are able to find happiness. We don't need a big house our the iPhone 8. We need our testimonies strengthened. We can't do that as we study the scriptures. 

I know this to be true because i have seen my testimony grow so much and i know its because I'm taking the time to read and really ponder the scriptures. 

I have had a tone of people ask me about what we did with the logs that we hauled up a mountain so here are the pics. THAT IS A PIG/CHICKEN PEN

Love you all 

Well everyone! WE have exchanges today! Elder Thayne and i definitely had a good run. But it has come to an end! I will be getting a new companion his name is Elder Morales. He is from Guatemala. That's it for this week

This week Was a good one for Elder Thayne and me. We really made some memories that we will never forget. We where able to baptize 3 children of God this past week and it was just so great. We Baptized them after we watched conference. Funny story is that we actually were filling up the baptismal font while conference was going on. Elder Thayne and i were just like "we'll remember" but well we got a little distracted with all the good talks that were going on and the font overflowed . It was crazy. hahaha good thing all the churches here have tile. 

I hope all of you where able to get to hear conference. It is such a blessing that we have prophets that live today and guide their church. I hope we can all take their advice to heart and work on being better disciples of our Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ. 

 We watched it in English so that was cool. Here was our conference room. It was the best. We had air conditioning. It was a first for a very long time. hahah but love you all  have a good week.
