Terramoto!! (Earthquake!!)

Hola!! This was my final week in the CCM!! I can't believe my 6 weeks of missionary training is coming to an end. Being here in Mexico has been amazing and I've had so many new experiences, Español, the food and the amazing weather are just a few examples! The time has flown by, and I am so excited to get to the field! There was not a ton of new stuff that happened this week, but the spirit was strong and I enjoyed it! We spent a lot of time Frisbee golfing, studying and getting ready to leave haha! 

 

 

This week as a district we signed a contract to speak only Spanish the whole week! It's been an adventure for sure, but I've seen the help of heavenly father throughout the whole week! I've seen my knowledge of Spanish and my ability to speak it grow so much in just the past week!! I am so grateful for my teachers who have shown incredible patience as I have tried to learn the language these past weeks! I can't wait to use what I have learned to share the gospel. 

 

 

We had the opportunity to have a small district testimony meeting this week. We all bore our testimonies in Spanish and the spirit was so strong! I love the gospel, and learning everything in Spanish has been a huge blessing! Being able to share my testimony in Spanish was exactly what I needed!

 

 

During this week we had 2 earthquakes!! They weren't big but we still felt them haha! One of said earthquakes happened to be at 1 in the morning! Waking up that early was no bien! But we were prepared because of all of the expert training we had received

This week I had to say goodbye to a couple of Friends, Elders Kartchner, Garrett, Thorpe and Harmon all left for the field this week!! They are gonna do great! They have taught me so much and can't wait to see how they do!

 

 

On our way to the temple we saw a young man doing tricks with a soccer ball to earn some money. I felt this feeling of gratitude for the things I have been given. Hermana Kirkham(the mtc president's wife) said that the young man does that for his job and that's how he makes a living. For some reason that hit me really hard, I am so grateful for everything I have been given. Including the knowledge of the gospel which I am now going to go and share with everyone I meet!!

 

 

For my spiritual thought I am gonna share my companions favorite scripture! 

 

 

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me

 

 

I know of the truthfulness of this scripture!! Through any trial or tribulation if we keep God with us we will succeed!! I wholeheartedly believe that.

 

 

Until next week! 

Elder Lefler

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...
