OH MANNNNNNNNN another week has come and gone in this great life!! Hopefully you all learned or did something life changing! If you didn't....welp do it this week! That is my new motto, the world is not gonna change for you! YOU gotta go change the world! Oh my I should be a motivational speaker! #ElderLeflerPodcasts #Changetheworld  Well I really do hope you all had a tremendous week! I know I did, I saw the lord's hand in everything I did! The knowledge that we have of a loving father in heaven is the most comforting and motivating knowledge I have! We had a safety meeting yesterday and that is why I am emailing today! The safety dude said that we are representatives of our Savior Jesus Christ!! Because of that we should find comfort! IT IS SO TRUE!! so we chillin hahaha     I've had the opportunity to talk with my friend Elder Havili in the past weeks. He laughed at my problem with cold showers!! He is in the Dominican Republic and they have to haul water to shower.......

Hola mis amigos!! How's everyone doing this week?? Hopefully everyone is doing good! This week was really awesome! Not a ton different than last week, EXCEPT we have a lot of progressing people now! They are so awesome and soooo down to learn more about the gospel! I love it here so much and love to share the gospel. There are definitely ups and downs but with God on my side I can always know that the ups are coming! It's so awesome how simple the gospel is, I can teach a 5 minute lesson about the restoration and it actually makes sense! But it is also so awesome that If you dive deeper there is so much to always learn! The same goes for the book of mormon, it is so amazing and there is always more to learn!(Not sure what's going on in the Bible, that's a whole different story haha) This week we had the opportunity to teach a young man, he is so amazing and has such a great desire to learn more and do good. He is such an example to me of what I want to be like! Me and m...

Hey everyone!! I hope you are all doing amazing! I hope everyone had a great week last week! You are all in my prayers each and everyday! I love you all so much!      Not a ton happened this week! We met a lot of new people so hopefully we can have a lot of good lessons this next week! The people here are so ready to hear the gospel, they are amazing examples to me of faith. We had the opportunity to bring our friend Silvana to church on Sunday! She said she really liked it so hopefully we can make some big progress this week towards baptism!      We go to Zumba every week so that's SOOOO HYPEEEE! I sweat more in Zumba than I ever did during football hahaha It's a great way to start the day! The Hispanic ward is the one we do it with, there is nothing like dancing to music you can understand! I would definitely recommend it to everyone!     This week has been really hard for me. Half way through the week my trainer went home early. Yaaaa so that w...

Hola mi amigos!!!      I made it to Texas! After a month in Mexico I jumped on a plane and made it to the states!! I love being here, the people are so amazing!     On Monday morning we woke up bright and early and jumped on a plane to Dallas and then McAllen! It was a bittersweet goodbye. We arrived in McAllen and were greeted by President Larreal, his wife, the APs and the Sister Training Leaders. We went to the mission home and had dinner! It was veryyyy good! Then the Elders spent the night at the AP's house. The next morning we woke up, had breakfast and then had some training before getting assigned to our areas and trainers!!     MY TRAINER IS SOOOO LIT!! His name is Elder Ingram and he is the coolest! He is exactly what I needed for this beginning part of my mission! We are serving in the city of Mission Texas! Our area goes all the way to the border! It is such a cool place and I love the people! My first day here we went out and we were able ...
