For Unto Us A Child Is Born

Merry Christmas, everybody! I love you all so much. It makes me happy to think about the amazing memories and times we have all spent together. This email will be short, but I wanted to share some of this past week with you. We had interviews with Presidente Larreal. I love this guy so much; he's uplifting, kind, and an all-around great example to me. He did keep bringing up that I'm going home next year, though. We had Christmas Conference! This was amazing and one of the most spiritual experiences I've had. I felt the peace that comes from the spirit so strongly. Also, it was amazing to see and spend time with a lot of people I have not seen in a while. Shout out to the MTC district. We're all still kicking it. That was pretty much all that happened this week. My Father in Heaven has shown me so many miracles. It is unbelievable how much he loves us. I was reading in Luke chapter 2 this week, and I love how simple but intricate the story is. So much happens but is all...

Apparently I Was Fat?

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...

Well We Back To Biking

Wow, everyone, I am so grateful to be here. I truly don't know what else to say. I truly have a loving father in heaven. First thing, this week... absolute grind. Could not believe it. Not a lot of success, they took our car, it was cold, I got sick, and I burnt cookies. But it's all good because God is so good! I just wanted to testify of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I've been able to see firsthand in the lives of others and in myself his power. There is nothing you can possibly do, think, say, etc., that he cannot help you fix. LIKE WHAT, his peace is real. I challenge you to find it for yourself. Couple things that happened this week: APs took our car... they said there was another area that needed a car, so they picked on Elder Lefler. Lady said she would get baptized if I marry her... I don't know what's up with that. OUR BOY EFRAIN WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED New Apostle!! Elder Kearon is awesome; he seems super cool!! I love his talks as well. I love my Savior. A...

Joyous Reunion

Another week, I love this work. I don't want to take too much time this week. But I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to my father in heaven. He has given me the opportunity to be a representative of him and his son. I have the opportunity to share the good news of the gospel with everyone who will listen. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am grateful for the family and friends I have been given. I want each and every one of you to know I love you. You have helped me become who I am today! Thank you for that!! On that note, I wanted to share an experience with you all. We had the opportunity to go to the temple this week and do an endowment session. It was my first time in over a year!! It felt amazing to be back in his house. After our session, we had the chance to be in the celestial room for a couple of minutes. I remember walking into the celestial room, and the first two faces I saw belonged to Elder Preece and Elder Stringham. We looked at each other with ...
