Week 68

Hey peeps!

Another wonderful week here in Texas! This week we had a whole bunch of miracles! My favorite one though was when Elder Tuia and I were doing some practice door approaches on one another. Elder Tuia goes, Man, I just want one person to open the door and let us in right then and there so we can share the message. So we went out with a mighty prayer and headed off to a trailer park. Well, the first door we knock on the guy tells us to come in and share our message with him. So BOOM that was sweet! Then right as were leaving we see a guy and start talking with him and BOOM same thing, he invites us in and wants us to share our message with him. At the end of the lesson he looks at us and says, Ya, I know this is true but I'm going to pray about it to confirm my thoughts! Pretty Sweet! 

We're also making a huge amount of progress with Anthony and Daniel. Anthony now comes to church and is smiling and happy to be there. He is participating and you can just see him being happy! He is a testimony to me that this gospel will bring you true happiness. From when we first met him, this sad kid who never spoke, to now smiling and laughing and talking with people because the gospel has come into his life is the reason why I go out everyday whether it be hot, cold or raining and knock doors and talk to people. It is because I know that this gospel will bring the true happiness every one needs in their lives. 

I love you all and invite everyone to not be afraid to open their mouths and invite someone to learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ because every one needs that true happiness in their lives! 

Have a great week!

Love you all!

Oh also forgot to mention thay I had cow intestines this week and man was that gnarly. And our branch President told me that I was looking like a young Elvis Presley - best compliment ever!!! 

It has been cold here in Houston so I had to go out and buy some sweaters! 

Matching ties! Thanks mama!

Week 67

Hey Everyone!!! 

This week was awesome!! Karla got baptized!!!! She was so happy and it was a great service! Elder Tuia did the baptism and I gave her the Gift of the Holy Ghost. We moved the date for her boys to be baptized for 2 weeks cuz we felt like they weren't ready yet. They are both super excited now after seeing there mom get baptized. 
When I gave Karla the Gift of the Holy Ghost it was a really cool experience because I stood up and started talking (in Spanish) and the next thing I know I  have no control of what I'm saying and words just start flowing out. The spirit took over and said what needed to be said. I honestly don't remember what I said. All I know is that Elder Tuia said it was really good. 
A lot of this week was spent getting everything ready for the baptism. Man I forgot how much work goes in to getting that all together. Other than that the week was pretty normal. We have 2 new investigators who are students of our English class and they're pretty awesome. I love being a missionary! 
 I hope y'all had a great week and continue to being extraordinary this new year of 2018! 

Love you all!

When your investigator doesn't answer your video chat call, you take goody selfies 

Week 66 Happy New Year People!

Hi Everyone!!! Happy New Year!!!

So this week has been an awesome week and crazy week as well. Elder Tuia has been battling sickness all week but he has been a champ and we have gone out to work everyday. Friday though was pretty bad for him so we stayed in and let him rest. 

This week though my investigator from Sunny Side, Toni got baptized and it was so awesome! I was able to go and see it and he was so happy to be getting baptized. 

Also my investigator Karla and her 2 boys will be getting baptized this Saturday! So happy for them! 

This week we also had this really fun service where we went to this older ladies house and picked 5 tree fulls of fruit. Now let me tell you this was some of the best oranges I have ever had. I don't know what it was but man oh man were they sooo good! She let us take some home so I have like 2 full bags of oranges in my apartment and I have been a happy camper all weekend! 

Other than that Elder Tuia and I will be staying together for another transfer (6 weeks) and we are both very excited about it! 

I hope you all have an amazing new year go out and be extraordinary!

I love you all
