TEXASSSSSS YESSSSSSIRRRR

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 to give someone a baptismal date! ON MY FIRST DAY! It was such a cool experience. The people are so kind and loving! We are in a four man group with Elders Mayfield and Elder Hansen! So they are the Spanish Elders and me and my comp are the English Elders! I was sad about that at the beginning but I still use Spanish a lot everyday! A good thing is I can teach in English, so I can understand what I am teaching!! It is a tender mercy for sure!!

 

 

Our apartment is kinda wack! Our water heater is broken so only cold showers for this guy! Haha it's awesome, we also have a couple of little cockroach friends! It's such a vibe! Another amazing thing is that we get fed every night by members! So we really only have to worry about breakfast and lunch! 

 

 

Like the rest of you we had the opportunity to listen to conference this weekend!! Most of the sessions we listened to in English but there was one we listened to in Spanish!

(That one might have been harder to stay awake during haha) But I felt the emphasis of making sure we all have a knowledge of the truth for ourselves! "We cannot live on borrowed light" was a line that stuck out to me. I challenge you if you don't already have a strong testimony to get one! If you do, then do everything you can to strengthen it!!

 

 

I love you guys so much! I would love to hear from all of you! Email me!

 

 

Love,

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...
