¡Hola mis amigos! ¿Cómo están? How are you all doing today?? Have you seen God's hand in your life this week? Because I definitely have, he is there always helping each of us!  This week absolutely flew by! We had some success and we found joy in the work! It's the end of the month so we didn't have a ton of miles to use in our car...so that means a lot of biking!! Let's just say biking in the humidity of Southern Texas is an amazing experience! I love it haha! We also had a baptism this week!! Her name is Julie and she is absolutely awesome! There is so much joy when you see someone want to make promises with god! It's a very sweet moment!  We ate with our friends the Frias family this week. Sister Frias taught me how to make tortillas!! So that was super cool and surprisingly harder than I thought haha We had transfers and me and Elder Cooper are staying together for another!! Edinburg still needs us! It's gonna be so hype, Julie's kids all want to be bapt...

Cowboys Vs 49ers

Heyyyy wassup everybody!!!! How's it going this week? I don't have a ton of time this week, probably should've made more time to do this haha. But I didn't, haha! I am alive and well!! Edinburg is still here and the work is progressing! I love the people here as well as the Spanish language! This work really is of God! With him we can succeed!  Also shoutout my cousin Zach, the 49ers beat the cowboys in the playoffs! I've never seen so many people sad about a football game haha, everyone loves the cowboys. I had the opportunity to teach Elders quorum this week! It was a blessing in disguise, I taught in the Book of mormon. For my spiritual thought I invite you all to read Moroni 10:3-5! Ask God if it is true, and he will tell you if it is true. I love the Book of Mormon and I testify it is the word of god! I love you all so much! You're all always in my prayers!! Elder Lefler

¡Hola my Amigos! ¿Cómo are you doing? That's what a sentence sounds like down here in the land of tex mex!! How are you all doing? I bet it's going great, you all are amazing and great examples to me!! Shoutout to all the friends who are getting ready to leave on their missions!! You are not gonna regret that decision! Awesome, let's get into the week!     This week was kind of like a lot of other weeks....but better!! We had a lot of fun talking to people about the gospel!! Met some very interesting people and had a whole family come to church with us!! God really does bless us as we are trying our hardest! There was an added emphasis on working with the members this week, so we went around and met as many as possible!! Through it we got 3 referrals and all 3 want to be baptized! As members you truly are the secret weapon in missionary work!      We did quite a bit of service this week as well, which was super awesome!! We got to paint this super cool old house...

¡Hola mis amigos! ¿Cómo están? How are we all doing this week?? First full week of 2023!! Hopefully getting back into a routine wasn't too rough for everyone haha! You are all amazing so I bet it was just fantastic, it hit the people down here though....everyone was not happy that school was back. But nevertheless the work moves forward!! We had a great week full of so many interesting events!!      We started off the week super great!! We had a bunch of lessons with investigators, recent converts and members! So many people assume that missionary work is just getting people baptized, but it goes so far beyond that!! We teach the members so then they can teach their friends. My dad says that the best way to find new people is through the members who are friends with them! All you members are key in the gathering of Israel!! Don't forget that!     We visited our friend Agapito this week on monday!! He's a recent convert who's soooo cool!! His wife Mary made us gr...

Heyyy everybody, how's it going??  Can you believe it's 2023 already?? Time really does fly by! How's everyone's goals coming? Did you get them all figured out? I hope they will stretch you to your fullest!! I invite you all to pray about them and see what God says!! He will bless us as we involve him in our lives!     This week was pretty slow...sooo not much to talk about! But we gotta go feed some animals and if you know me you know that the country is my happy place! The people are promising as well!! God is aware of us!     We had a zone meeting which was awesome! We talked about consecration and putting in our whole effort! I promise that if you do that God can bless you in every part of your life! He just needs you to be trying so he can mold you into the person you can become!!     Shoutout to everyone who sent me stuff for the holidays! Y'all are amazing and I feel so very loved and grateful for you all!!      We get to read the...
