Hey everyone!! How's it going?!?! It has been a few good weeks here in Nealtican, and we've been really practicing our diligence and faith with our people in teaching. Anyways, let's get into it: First of all, I stayed in my area for another transfer. I've been feeling really blessed to be here with all the members and their awesome stories. Elder Fowles is an absolute DAWG so it's been so awesome grinding it through with him. Anyway, 6 more weeks in Nealtican. WOOHOO! Also, we just got word that soon Elder Soares from the Quorum of the 12 apostles is going to be coming to the mission!! It's gonna be so awesome to hear his words and feel the spirit so strong. We're also going to join the 2 missions (Puebla North and South) together to hear him. It's gonna be great! Also, real quick I just want to share a cool experience from this past week. So the Bishop requested that we go and visit one inactive person from the ward. So one night at like 7:30 we set ou...

Hey everyone!! I hope you are all doing good and enjoying life. Thus week was also a little same old business but we saw some cool miracles and we were able to help a lot of people get to know their Savior a little bit more. But! Time has been flying by! Last week I hit 15 months as a missionary. And! It is the last week of the transfer so we're gonna see what happens. I'm pretty sure ill be staying here with Elder Fowles but I'm willing to accept anything the Lord has for me. Also, thank you all for the birthday messages you are all seriously the best! And I'm sure you are all aware about the Mexican traditions of shoving cake in your face. So this Saturday we did something as a district and my companion DESTROYED me. Like he actually slapped the sins out of my soul. Ill drop the video down below so check it out. Also, it was Elder Fowles birthday of Tuesday so it was a week of double birthdays. Annnnyyyyywwwwaaayyyyysss, I'm sorry that my emails have been kinda la...

Hey everyone!!! I hope you all had an amazing Holiday Season with Christmas and the New Year! I haven't even written since last year hehehe but yeah it's been a while so let's see what's happening. Annnyywwwaaayyys, it's kind of been an insane past couple of weeks and we have really been working hard with the other missionaries in exchanges. For example, we had a split with the AP's and with most of our District Leaders. I am actually in an exchange right now and it's gonna last 5 or 6 days so it's all been fun to be able to help the other missionaries come to Christ more and visit and see their areas. Also, we've been getting to know a lot of the members from our Wards. Since we in a small town, we serve the members a lot in their fields all around Nealtican. Not even gonna lie, my Spanish vocabulary has grown IMMENSELY just by working in the fields. Like literally corn is somehow the most complicated thing of all time and I literally learned soooo ...
