I Love This Work!!

This place is awesome. That's all I can say haha!! I absolutely love it here, the people are so hype and I can't imagine a better place to be!! This week was an absolute grind. Between weather, dogs, old people, bike problems and every other thing you can think of! 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 restored principles and then left him with a chapter in the Book of Mormon to read! A couple days later and we go by again. We don't see anyone outside....so me being the genius I am decided to yell. So I shouted his name a couple times, and then we saw him poke his head from around the back of the house!! He told us to wait and he went and got a couple of chairs, when he came back he told us he finished the chapter and wanted to learn more about this book. BOOOOOOOM! Power of the Book of Mormon right there, we taught a fire lesson about the restoration. This dude is so hype and I am so happy we met him! ALWAYS follow promptings. ALWAYS, it will never lead you down the wrong path!!



Another thing, enduring to the end is bien importante! We were riding our bikes, it was very hot and we didn't see a whole ton of success. But we kept pushing through and at the very end of the night we were able to meet with one of our friends that we hadn't seen in a very long time. Which would not have happened at any other time of the day!! When we endure to the end, and endure it well, God will bless you!!



This week as well our friend Suziey got baptized!! She is so awesome and very very elect!! Her husband Robert was able to baptize her which was a very sweet experience. Covenants are awesome. I love them!



The Lord is my light; then why should I fear?

By day and by night his presence is near.

He is my salvation from sorrow and sin;

This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.

The Lord is my light;

He is my joy and my song

By day and by night

He leads, he leads me along.



The lord is our light, with him we will never be lost. I love my savior, it's only because of him that this work is possible!! Turn to him, he will turn you into something amazing!!



With 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...
