Himno 88

Sheesh


No way my little sister is 18... that can't be true. Allee, you're gonna change the world!! Love you so much.


Buenos días, I hope y'all are doing well right now! We are living in the best time in the history of the world. God is hastening His work and raining blessings down upon us! I testify that truly the gospel is what brings us real joy! Without it, I probably would not be happy. AT ALL. So, I'm very grateful I have it!


First up, let me set the scene for an experience I had this week. We were cycling to get to a dinner appointment, hot, humid air drenching my clothes, when we decided to take a shortcut through a parking lot. All was fine, the smell of tacos was thick in the air. I saw a man selling flowers, and being a kind soul, I decided to wave! In the instant I took my hand off the handlebar... I hit three bumps and proceeded to go headfirst over my handlebars. My legs didn't get the memo and got stuck with the pedals, which caused the whole bike to follow me. After graciously crashing, I did a push-up (common sense) and stood up. The man with the flowers then asked if I was okay and turned down an invitation to learn more.


What do we learn from this experience? I don't know; if you figure it out, send me an email.


But for real, my past couple of weeks have been some of the hardest but most spiritually rewarding weeks of my mission! I wanted to talk a little bit about two things that happened that stood out to me.


1st is that Elder Gong came to visit our mission!! It was such an amazing experience, and I learned so much from him. During the meeting, he started by having the other leaders with him bear testimony of Jesus Christ. Which hit super hard, and I love my Savior so much. After that, he walked around and simply asked questions and helped us find ways to be more effective. It changed my whole perspective on missionary work and what I need to be doing!! To end his devotional, he testified of Christ, how influential He has been in his own life, and how he has come to know Him. It was very special, and a moment I will never forget. We got to sit on the front row, so that was hype.


2nd, I had the opportunity to interview some people for baptism last week. I don't know if I have ever felt God's love stronger for someone else. It's amazing to think of everyone as one of God's beloved children. God loves all of His children, take the opportunity to be a way He can show His love. You will never regret it.


Himno 88, if you know, you know.


I THINK YOU ALL ARE SO AWESOME. I truly do, and I am constantly praying and thinking about you all.


I invite you all to go read this chapter in Alma. It is amazing.


Alma 26:16


16 Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of His great power, and of His mercy, and of His long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel.


I testify of our Savior, He lives. He is the way and the light. I love Him so much, I do not know how to describe the gratitude I feel for Him and for all of you. Keep on pressing forward; God will sustain you.


Con fe y firmeza en Cristo

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...
