Hello Hello everyone we had an absolute insane week! The Mexico Puebla South Mission just got split and there were a lot of casualties in the division. But all is well!! Ok so the biggest news is that part of the changes I got transferred! Literally wasn't expecting that at all Friday night I received a call from President and he told me that I would be receiving a change of assignment and a change of area. It was pretty much a secret too and so I went incognito mode for the rest of my time in Quetzalcoatl. My new area's called Agua Azul and it's basically right in the middle of Puebla. I actually stayed in the México Puebla South Mission which was so hype. But I've been assigned to the mission offices as an assistant to President Oyarzabal. It's been a wild few days here with the mission split and everything thats going on, but I am so happy to minister where ever I can! Other than that the work has been great! Our friend Carmen got confirmed yesterday, and we have...

What's going on everyone?!?! I hope all is well in Zion and that everyone is enjoying their summer break! It was a pretty awesome week, and one again I owe you all an apology because I've been ssoooo bad at writing emails, but here we go with another one! Don't worry I'm doing ok!!

I LOVE that my normal, daily routine is working hard to share this glorious gospel with all those who are willing to hear it. I am sooo happy, healthy, and feel so blessed to be here in this part of my mission! I really have been trying to show gratitude for all the ways that God has blessed me. Yesterday, we had the baptism of Carmen! Super awesome experience and her story is so cool. So basically because of the Open House for the Puebla Temple, a lot of returned missionaries came back to visit puebla and to s...

Hey everyone!! I'm really sorry that's it's been so long since I've written an email but I've been really good!! With a lot of energy and really excited of where we are at right now! Sooooo basically two weeks ago we had transfers and it was really special because soon the missions are going to split! But the good news is that I stayed in Cholula! I was so happy to hear about it and I really love it here. And my new companion is Elder Bringhurst!! He is from Star Valley Wyoming and we're getting to work. Also the Puebla Temple got dedicated the 19th of May and it was so cool to watch the Dedication. But, today we got to go to a session! I love how the temple teaches eternal truths and how everything testifies of the Savior Jesus Christ. Such a beautiful place truly a little piece of Heaven on Earth. Ok time for a food review!! I'm gonna review: Molotes! Basically a molote is a fried quesadilla type of thing. It is a slab of dough, and then it gets filled up ...
