The Work Goes On

 Hello y'all!


This week I don't have much time to write, so I'm going to keep this quick. This week we really focused on helping our friends who are working on being baptized. We have two friends, Yude and Lucas who will be baptized on Saturday! We have been working with them a bunch and they have such an incredible family. They are the family that I talked about a couple of weeks ago who we accidentally found when we went the wrong way to a lesson. So it really is a miracle that we found them and are helping them to be baptized. 

We also have a lot of other people who don't have a baptismal date set but who are learning so much and progressing a lot! We had another activity this week with a lot of people and it was super fun!! We had a lesson about the importance of studying the scriptures to learn the gospel, and the importance of sharing the gospel, and then we had a bunch of games we played. 

This week I wanted to invite any of you who would like to, to pray for Yude, Lucas, Reinan, Mirely, and Bia. They are all working really hard to learn the gospel and progress and could use lots of prayers. 

I hope you all are doing great this week! Remember that Jesus Christ sacrificed everything for you! You can have his help if you turn to him! Go shine bright and be examples to the world!

And because I'm really bad at taking pictures during the week, all you guys get is some p-day pictures of the beach... I'll try to be better next week!

Transfers!

  Hey all!!! It's been a super long time since I've written an email, so I've got a lot to talk about! First things first, last transfer was my last transfer in the office, so I was training a new financial secretary! His name is Elder Hilton and it was super fun to work with him and train him! After I had started training him (and had a little more "free" time in the office) I started taking care of housing as well because our mission doesn't have a housing secretary. So that kept me super busy, but wasn't too bad. Like always we stayed super busy!  We also had the amazing opportunity to have Neil L Anderson visit our mission and give a devotional! He talked a lot about preparing ourselves for life and becoming truly converted to the Lord. He talked about how the scriptures can make that conversion possible. He asked people what their favorite scriptures were and then asked them if they really truly believed in what the scripture taught. He said that when...

Feliz Natal!

 Hey all! It's been a while since I've sent an email so I must apologize. Things (like always) have been super busy here in the office. Especially with Christmas and getting everything ready for the Christmas zone conferences, end of the year budgeting and just all of the other craziness of the end of the year. But things are going great! This year our Zone Christmas Conference was pretty short, but a lot of fun. A lot of it was musical performances by the missionaries, and I was able to play Hark Ye Herald Angels Sing which was super fun! Our district also sang a hymn so in preparation we all bought matching ties. And not to brag but our district was definitely the best prepared group. Our Christmas lunch was super amazing! It was literally a feast and there were so many wonderful options that I didn't even know where to start. We also took a mission picture... except that the whole mission wasn't there... so we took a bunch of pictures with our ...

Christmas is coming!

  Hey all!! Sorry that it's been a few weeks since I've written! Things are still going really great here. We had transfers here this week, and surprise surprise, I am going to be staying here in the office for at least another few transfers lol. But transfers meant that we have spent the last few weeks getting everything ready for 6 missionaries to head home and then 13 new missionaries to get here! It's always super exciting to be with the new missionaries who are so excited to participate in this wonderful work.  Oh, and today we put up the Christmas tree here in the office, so it's starting to feel like Christmas time! We have been working with a few new families recently, and like always, even though sometimes the progress is slow, it is so incredible to be able to be a tiny part of the change that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings into the lives of these people, and each and every one of us.  And I just wanted to share how impressed I've been in my studies of ...
