Hey there everyone

So this week was really really really good. We had a great turn out with everything here in our zone and everyone is gonna baptize this weekend. In our area we have 2 for sure. Like for sure this time. I hope haha but every area is going to baptize and we are going to have 10 this weekend here in the zone. We as zone leaders are really happy to see everything that is happening here. We have had some rough weeks here in the areas but everything is going really well now here in the zone. Its been hard but we were able to push through for this great weekend thats coming up. 

So we had our interviews here in with our mission president as well this last week. It went really good, we talked more about the change for pday as well everyone who can get baptized this coming week. Here in our zone we can have and will have 10 people baptized. Every area is going to be baptize this weekend. We are super happy as well president is really happy to see what we are doing. During the interviews once the zone had left we stayed with president and talked about the whole zone. He told us how he was really happy in seeing the changes that we are making here in our area and our zone. We are really excited to help all these people get baptized this weekend. Like i said before we are trying to change Nimajuyu for the better and we are doing it. Just like the hashtag Im using this month, history will be made. I sent that to president yesterday and he sent back Yes it will! So we are all excited to see the history that we are making here. 

So that was really the biggest things that happen here in the area and in the zone this week. I know that the email is shorter but ill be honest I'm really tired hahah we changed our pday around so we are going to have it on Wednesday instead of Monday. And lets just say it was a really weird week to not do anything on Monday. But everything is good. Thanks for all the support that you guys always give me here in the mission. Thanks for the love and prayers always as well. Hope you all have a great week and everything goes great for you all back home! Take care

Love you all

Hey there family 

So this week we had an conference with another member for the 12. Elder Cook, Its probably one of the best conferences i have been to  here in the mission. It was something really special to hear him speak. He told us that it wasn't very good to share spiritual moments. But he testified that he know what the Saviour looks like and he testified that he knows his voice. When he said that i think everyone fell back into there seats thinking. Wow that just happened. As well he talked about that our mission will bless our family{s but it will bless our future family's as well. And for me i really didn’t think about that too much. I didn’t think that my mission would bless those that would come into our family after my mission. Be he testified that it was something true and something that would happen. it was great conference. 

After that we had to jump on a bus and go over to a different part of the city were we had a mission conference. There we made the biggest change in my mission. We are changing pday from Monday to Wednesday. So this well be the last time i write on Monday haha. But i think it will be better for us here in mission. We are going to have Monday to have weekly planning, district council and sending dates. Then Wednesday we have our whole hour to write our family{s. Its something i think will work out really well and we will see what will happen. But when president told us about this change there was a lot of people that we like. Oh i don’t know man this is going to be a hard change for us. I laughed and said no its going to be a easy change for all of us. I think its gonna make people understand that we are here to help out the people and help the areas. We cant be focused of pday all the time. So i cant wait to see the change here in the mission.

So we found one guy here in our area the other night as we were buying some food for the house. We were talking in English when out of no where he started to talk to us in English as well. We talked for a quick second and then asked if it was okay if we went by his house to  teach him. He said it was okay and we went. Once we got there we started talking about churches. We asked if he attend a church and he told us no. He didn’t like how here there are a bunch of churches where people fall on the floor and how they play loud music. So we told him about how the church we represent doesn’t have any of that. So we taught all of lesson 1 and then we asked if he wanted to come to church. When Sunday rolled around we were really happy to see that he came to church on his own. And after it was all done we went up and asked him if he liked it. He told us that it was great and he was for sure coming back next Sunday. We have a meeting with him this week so we will see what we can do to help him.

But that was our week here in la justo. We are still working really hard and doing what we can to change the history of this zone. Hopefully everything will go good. thanks for all the love and support always! Hope you are all enjoying the cold up there in Canada ahah. Take care have a great week

Hey Everyone.

So we had an all right week here in our area. We are still finding a lot of new people and we are really trying to work hard with them. We weren’t able to baptize anyone this week, which always makes the week harder. But we are going to be bold with them all. We are going to try to help them but we aren’t going to obligate someone to get baptized but we are going to try and be sweetly bold.

So we have this investigator Adolfo. And the guy is so close to being baptized. It’s so hard with him because he tells us that he wants to get baptized but he says he is missing something. But we have taught him everything; He even had an interview with the bishop as well as his baptism interview. It’s been really hard but we have to help them and respect the agency that he has. But I don’t think he is going to get baptized in my time here.

So we had mission counsel aging this week and it was really weird to be honest. We started talking about what happened in the month of February and how we got so close to the goal we put. We then found out that president was doing a lot of to meet the goal. I wont tell you everything he did but he did a lot.. But he was asking forgiveness from the mission. It was really good to see that he was that humble to see his mistakes. But this time the mission counsel was a lot more relaxed. We made some big changes here in the mission that’s really going to make everyone go nuts. So the biggest thing is that we are changing pday to Wednesday. So the change wont happen for awhile but if just one day you get an email for me on Wednesday you know why haha. But I really like the change because we are going to have our district counsels and weekly planning on Monday. So basically it’s still a pday but a mission pday haha.

 We are still working really hard and the way we are looking right now we are going to be baptizing almost every week. Well we hope so haha. But we are teaching this one girl who has a friend that’s a member and she is progressing a bunch right now. So we aren’t able to teach in her house because her mom doesn’t like the church. So we have been teaching her in the church for almost all the lessons. I think that helps her a lot because it’s a very relaxed place and it is a place where she can feel the spirit better. She is doing really well I just hope we can actually baptize her.

So here in our zone we don’t really have the best track record. So Elder Davis and I had meeting with the zone to talk to everyone. We talk about how we need to change. We need to change for the better. So we are going to do the best we can to help our missionary’s change and we are going to change the zone forever. I was thinking about something the NHL and years ago during the playoffs. They had a quote that said History will be made. So I think I’m going to make that a thing here in Zona Nimajuyu. History will be made! Zona Nimajuyu will change for the better.

But that was really our week here. We are working really hard and doing the best we can to help the zone and help the mission. I’m really happy that I have this change to work as a leader here in the mission to help those that need help. Not just investigators but missionaries as well. Its hard work but its really fun as well. It’s been a great change so far with Elder Davis. He is a great elder and I have learned a lot from him. Plus we are pretty good friends hahah.

But thanks for everything thanks for all the love and support always! Hope you all have a great week and you are all enjoying the cold haha Take care!
