This Was A Hot Week

Ayeee, what's going on, everybody? I hope you all had a great week, and you're all about to have another awesome week! I hope you were able to take some time and reflect on the Lord's hand in your life. God is good. This church is His church, and He loves each of us!! This week was, for real, a great one. We saw a lot of miracles and enjoyed the heat. To start it off this week, we were sitting right at 115 and higher in temperature. I was sweating buckets before we even started riding the bikes! It was super fun though, and the people took pity on us and gave us a lot of water! I have learned that you've gotta use the situation to your advantage. If it's hot outside, they are more willing to let you in, especially when they see we are on the bikes. This week, we did an exchange with the Zone Leaders. It was super hype! My guy, Elder Foulke, came with me on the bikes. It was so lit!! Elder Foulke is huge, like absolutely massive, so he was a sight to behold on the bi...

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...

This week was something else to say the least! We started out the week pretty much the same, just working in our area trying to be awesome haha! Then on Tuesday night we had transfer calls....Zapata got hit big time. Elder Allred, Elder Preece, Elder Smith and Sister Birch all got transferred. So your homie (me) is the only Elder still left in the 4 man...CRAZY! It was crazy but Zapata is gonna pop off this transfer I can feel it. The new guys are pretty lit and I'm excited to see what they bring to the table. These first few days, blessings and miracles were poured down upon zapata!! It was awesome!! I just wanted to share a couple with you guys!! Some goofy stuff here, people here have no filter. They say whatever they want whenever they want to! Ya we got hit on at subway, you already know we invited them to church. Sadly, they didn't come. This Sunday we had stake conference, which was so lit!! But I had the opportunity to translate the whole thing for our friend Hugo, that...

But we did it and we did it in style for sure!!  FIRST AND FOREMOST!  Shoutout to my brother Austin, congrats on the engagement!! I'm proud of you and I am so grateful for the example you have set for me!! You'll always be one of my heros and best friends! Love you tons boss, keep grinding! #mybrotherisnotsingleanymore This week started off pretty rough, no one wanted to talk to us and we were very discouraged. But towards the middle of the week we found some superrrrrrrrr awesome people! The coolest one we found was our friend Miguel! He just barely graduated high school, so he's a vibe to be around for sure. This dude is such a beast! He is so funny and happy all the time. We taught him some cool restor...
