Anotha One

¡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! Me and Elder Cooper decided we would buy it and move in. Sadly we don't have the funds for that....but it was cool anyway! 

 

 

I love the work and it brings me so much joy to know that people are learning about Jesus Christ!! 

 

 

Spiritual thought!!

 

 

Matthew 2:11

11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh

 

 

This is when the Wise men visit the Christ child. In gospel doctrine they emphasized the gifts that the wise men brought. These were not cheap gifts....they cost a lot of money!! They spared no expense because they knew who Jesus was! We need to make sure we are giving Jesus our everything! Doing all we can to live the gospel and become more like him! 

 

 

I testify to you that Jesus Christ is watching over you! He cries for you during your hard times and celebrates with you during your good times!! He is our savior and redeemer. With him we can live with our families forever!! 

 

 

I love you all and would love to hear from you! 

 

 

Con amor,

Élder 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...
