Month One Accomplished!!

¡Hola! ¿Como esta? This week was amazing! The spirit here at the CCM is so amazing and unique. The CCM is like a little sanctuary among all the craziness in the bustling Mexico City! It is very peaceful and it's a perfect place to learn and grow. Yesterday was the one month mark since I started my mission! Let me tell you it has been life changing!! I love our savior and this work, without it I don't know who or where I would be! 


Not a ton of crazy things happened this week, I'm happy to say the hair is growing back! Very slowly but it's growing haha. This week was spent learning Español, the scripture lessons, and becoming closer with my district and friends! I have seen so much growth in my knowledge of Spanish it's crazy! I have been trying to translate my patriarchal blessing into Español this week! It has been a really cool experience to see those promises and expectations for my life in Spanish. One thing my morning teacher says is that we are here to learn 3 languages, Spanish, English and the spirit! I wholeheartedly believe this, the spirit works in mysterious and beautiful ways! I invite you all to learn how the spirit talks to you because it will be life changing for you once you do!


Shoutout to my Grandma and Grandpa Christensen! This past Sunday was their 60th wedding anniversary! I love you two so much and I am so glad for all the amazing memories I have made and will continue to make with you both! You are great examples to me of the kind of people I want to be! LOVE YOU


Today is Mexico's Independence day! Lots of fireworks and parties! We could hear them all night last night and I am sure we will hear more tonight haha I love being in Mexico but nothing will beat the 4th of july with friends and family in utah!


A friend of mine posted this quote on Facebook this week!


"There may be times when you find yourself struggling to see how God is working in your life-times when you feel under siege-when the trials of mortality bring you to your knees. Wait and trust in God and in his timing, because you can trust his heart with all of yours"


We all go through hard things in our lives, trials, expectations or other experiences. Throughout our lives we MUST involve the lord in everything we do! He loves us more than we can even comprehend! Trust in the lord and his timing, he will guide you in the direction he needs you to go! I know this church and the gospel are true! I know that God and Jesus christ love each and everyone of us PERSONALLY! I testify of the power of prayer and how much it can help you if you use it.


Until next week! Adios!

It's that time again everybody, Monday email day. We had a crazy week up here in Zapata, the bikes are ELECT!! We grinded, I go fast on the bikes so I'm not sure if my comp is happy about that haha! But we've gotta be urgent with the work, this is God's work sooo This week we found so many cool people!! They are so awesome and I can't wait to see how they progress! We only had a couple come to church but we had some inactive members pull up so that was so awesome!! We have been trying to focus on sharing the restoration and church with our friends and we have seen blessings come from it! The people here know that something is missing from their church, and then we come along and boom. Questions are answered. This week we had interviews with president, which was super lit! On Monday we took the boy's truck to the dealership....it didn't get fixed so we spent the night in laredo. I went with the Zone Leaders so that was so hype, spoke a lot of Spanish, and had...

Sorrrrrry I don't have a ton of stuff to say this week!! I'm staying in Edinburg for another transfer!! God has people here for me! I'm too hyped, Elder Cooper is heading home. He's finished his mission and he's a beast. I'll forever be grateful for him!!  Jesus Christ Lives. He loves us, this is his plan and nothing can mess it up. He truly did restore his church to the earth through Joseph Smith. He will never leave us alone.  1 Nephi 17:13 Elder Lefler  Angie y fam Elder Cooper the  Breakfast of kings Gunderson fam Lit tree Only in the mission field

YOOOOOOOO, what is popping everybody? I love y'all so much, and I am so grateful for everything y'all do. Truly, I've got the best family and friends out there. I love you guys so much! Can you believe it is Christmas time? Like not that many days until the big day is here. My P-day today is short because we have Christmas Conference this week. But it's always a joy to write an email and express some feelings I have come to acquire while being a missionary. Our friend Abel is back on date!! I had the impression to call him a couple of days ago and invite him to be baptized on the 30th. He said he wants to, and we are excited to work with him!!! I have grown to truly love this guy, and I am so excited for him to receive these blessings! My dawg Elder Nielsen is in the ward now. He was my MTC comp, and I'm hyped to be around him again. We had the ward Christmas party this week!! We had a couple of friends come, and as well, our recent convert Gabriel pulled up!! It wa...
