Ground beef...

5/29/2023

Yooooo! Hope everyone is doing well, this has been a good week. We have not been teaching a lot like we have been this last month but the lessons we are teaching are so amazing!! We have been teaching one of our friends (that was baptized a while ago) family members and so far that's going well and they are progressing well. 

Our friend Abel was finally able to get baptized!! He was one of the most ready person I know to get baptized. He showed up to church one Sunday and told us that he does not know why he has not been baptized yet and his family are members and he used to live in Salt Lake City for most of his life! He was suppose to get baptized like 2 weeks ago but the day before his baptism he cut his leg with a chainsaw.... it's a miracle that it healed this fast and he was baptized this last Saturday. (He told us he saw his bone and said it looked like ground beef super crazy!) After 2 weeks he was begging to get into that water hahaha

That's the update on what's been going on. Super grateful for the miracles and blessings that have been happening. Have a great week!

Flash back to a year ago...

5/22/2023

Wow!! I don't even know where to start this email. I feel like I share my week full of miracles and say that was the best week ever but like it's all the time, there are even more miracles that always happen! I am loving my mission more then I ever thought I would, I love the people, I love serving other missionaries and absolutely love this Gospel! This work brings me so much Joy and I will share what has been bringing me a lot of that Joy recently.

So our friend Link & Christine just got baptized, Link is so cool he was so prepared for this and is looking to serve a mission. He has a huge interest in it wanting to help others and he has already been studying out of Preach My Gospel!! And then Christine has been in the country for 3 years and has always wanted to be baptized and be a part of the church but just never had the opportunity to I guess.... she is even friends with the mission president in Haiti , the work is moving forward and I'm so grateful for all these prepared people the Lord has ready for us! 

Then last night I was able to hear one of the greatest news ever!!!   Around 1 year ago I was able to help teach and baptize my good friend Mo in Queens New York, it was a fun experience. But last week Mo was able to baptize his Son Ethan one of the coolest things ever. My heart is so full of gratitude!

Love you all, have a great Week!
