Brownstown

This will be a bit of a shorter email... sorry!


This was a week for the ages, everyone! It started out as a normal week in the blessed land of Zapata. We were finding and teaching and trying to help people be ready for baptism. Then on Tuesday night, we got transfer calls; I was headed to Brownsville!! What less goooo! So I have been down here for the past couple of days, and we have already seen so many miracles! I'm in a super awesome ward and area. My companion, Elder Hancock, and I actually just opened this area. They had taken the elders out of it a couple of transfers ago, but it's open again, and we're killing it!


Funny story: since we are opening the area, they have had some trouble with the area book. So we have had nothing to go off, and we have had no boundaries. So we have just been doing anything we can to find the elect! It's been super fun to just go work with nothing to go off of, but sadly, they are going to have it fixed soon.


I dropped some Oreos... top 10 saddest moments so far on my mission.


We saw a lot of miracles with being in the right place at the right time. We met our friend Juan by simply feeling like we needed to be somewhere at a specific time! He is super cool and wants to progress! As well, when we follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost, we can be guided to doing the things that God wants. He will be able to use us to accomplish His will! Act on impressions and show God you are willing to follow Him!


Also, shoutout to my sister Katie; she turned 12 this past week! Absolute Legend!


Also, they have asked us to communicate through email or letters! Send me an email!


Love you all! Keep praying!

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...
