I'll Never Forget

The title comes from a great youth album song, go give it a listen.



YOOOOOO sorry fam that it's been a couple weeks since you heard from me! Last week I got super busy and just didn't write one... but here I am today! I hope you are all doing well, that you are happy, full of food, and excited to tackle the world! My past two weeks have been insane but amazing!



Last week I got to do an exchange with Elder Warner down in McAllen! It was super fun and we grinded! Talked to a lot of people who will accept to hear the gospel later on, I hope! But for real, it was really fun and I learned a lot about different attributes of Christ that day. Elder Warner is the goat; he is an amazing example to me of Christlike love towards everyone he meets.



Our friends Santos and Erica got married last week so he could be baptized on the 2nd! Well, the 2nd rolled around and he was able to get baptized and confirmed! He is so cool, I can't explain it! Over his time learning we've gotten pretty close! It's amazing to see the difference in how he carries himself! When I met him a super long time ago when I was in Edinburg, he was a different guy. Now he's preparing to receive the priesthood and go to the temple! The gospel changes lives!



Our other friend Richard also got baptized this weekend. He's super cool; we met him pretty recently and he has just soaked everything in. It's been amazing to see his desire to change and be better. Man will go places. We had a super cool lesson outside the temple last week! We talked about God and how much He loves us. Our friend Kevin Ochoa came with us. Richard liked it so much that he had Kevin baptize him.



Needless to say, God has blessed us yet again. There is no place I would rather be than here!



I got to go to lunch last P-day with Hna Moreno and Elder Sherwood! It was super nice to see her again! She's the goat.



Elder Sherwood and I got to do an exchange this week. It was super fun and we saw a lot of miracles. We met our dawg Jonathan who had lots of questions about the Plan of Salvation. It was super cool to see someone with genuine questions. We are going by today, wish us luck!



Romans 8:28

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose."

Keep being the people that God needs you to be. He is rooting for you, so am I! I love you all. Jesus Christ lives, and because He lives we can overcome all things.

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...
