Week 7 in Carolina (Pontezuela)

Family and Friends

Wow this week was very interesting. We are trying to get everything settled in, and trying to figure out how we are going to do this trio and how we are going to divide everything, The teaching and Contacting is super different, because we are trying to get use to teaching as 3 not just 2. 

For everything that is going on right now we are excited to be able to have a baptism this coming Sunday!!!!! He is such a great guy. He is from Dominica he only speaks English but he understands Spanish. I have been blessed with the opportunity to help teach him a little bit. He has been coming to church for about 2 months now and he loves it. 

As for us we are basically taking the area and starting all over because its hard to put everything together so we are starting over to help us know what we have and what we need to find. 

I have been thinking a lot about the mission and how it has changed my life so much. I have been in situations where I had to help other people understand the importance of the Atonement. I truly love this photo, I always think about the Savior and how he already went through our pain and that we don't have to hurt or even die for our sins because he already did that for us. 

I love you all and miss you tons!!!! I hope you all have a great week and I will see you soon!!!!

This week was a great week for us we are seeing a lot of new miracles!!!! This we had a good week of finding!!!! We are finding each and every week and really trying to help them to grow. For this past week we have worked hard to teach people not the lessons but also to help them understand the message.

This week we had the wonderful opportunity to teach a sister and her boyfriend their names are M  and N they are really cool, we had the opportunity to teach them the First lesson and then the first part of lesson 2. we have noticed that it is easier for people to understand the Plan of Salvation when we teach up to the Atonement in one lesson and then the other part in the next lesson, so we had the opportunity to teach them and invite them to be baptized. when we invited them they said they were Catholics and didn't need to be baptized but we went back and invited her again and to be baptized and she said yes we are planning to put a date with her this week and to start helping make that change!! She is super cool and we are going to work with him and really help them progress together.

Also this week we had the opportunity to teach M  and R  they are a Mom and a Son!!! They are super cool. we found M when we were walking and he told us to stop by his house his mom and him wanted to talk to us. So we showed up and we shared the first message with them and they really liked it, the difficult part with them is that they can't read but we are going to help them understand everything we can, they said they like photos so we will be taking a photo book with us when we teach them. 

Also we had the opportunity to teach The B Family, they are a great family that are less active. But we went and shared a Mormon message with them it was about Faith. it was such a beautiful video. They are progressing a lot. the Mom and the Kids came to church yesterday again!!!! In the Gospel Principals class the mom was participating she was reading, talking and answering questions it was so cool. 

For us we are really seeing how we work hard the Lord will bless us, we are still working on getting baptisms here but I know they will come through all of our hard work.

Today we had a Zone Activity that is why I am writing late. It was super fun we played Minute to Win it games!!! My team lost but we didn't really care it was just super fun to get us all together!  Here is a photo of our Zone. We also discussed different Chapters from the Book of Mormon my district had Alma 43! I love Studying the scriptures!!!!

I have learned so much as a missionary and as a district leader through a lot of different situations! I have been blessed with such a great mission!!! I have learned that it doesn't matter what the situation or the family but everyone is part of one great big family and that is our Heavenly Fathers family.

Week 15 in Salinas

Family and Friends

This week was a very interesting week for us. 

For this week in why it was so interesting we were out working all week and for some reason no one really wanted to talk to us, but we didn't let that get to us so the best part of our week was the weekend all week no one listened to us and then on Saturday is when almost everything happened!!!! That is when we saw all the milagros from this week. 

But the best Miracle that we saw this weekend was Yesterday!!!! We have been working with this less active family a lot to help them return when I was with Elder Johnson only the dad talked with us but once Elder Morales came for some reason the whole family started to listen to us. So we have been asking them for a while if they will come to church but that is only if we can find them a ride and for the first two weeks we tried and we couldn't find them a ride, when we went to visit them this week they said they were waiting for their ride on Sunday but no one showed up. We felt really bad, so yesterday we had called the mom in the morning but she didn't answer us and we got a little scared, but we had faith and sent the member to pick up this family and to our delight the mom and the 3 kids came to church and enjoyed it a lot, we passed by last night to see how the dad was doing and share a little message with them. While we were there the Parents were talking about how they wanted to watch conference this weekend and also the mom was saying how she wanted to go to an activity for the Relief Society!!!! Also that she wants her Patriarchal Blessing!!!! 

Family thank you for the package I did get it really fast this time, just because we had some special visits from President Boucher this week!!! Yes they were very special the first one was this past Tuesday we started our District meeting and as I was conducting the music I saw someone else walk into the building, when they entered into the Room we were in it was President Boucher, he came to give interviews to the Sisters so of course he came to our district meeting. But after the District meeting we got home and I got a call from President Boucher and he thanked me and then asked me if he could come to Salinas this weekend (Yesterday) he needed to give one more interview to Elder Dubon and he asked me to set up a our normal Correlation meeting that we have with our Branch President because he wanted to meet him so Yesterday we had the wonderful opportunity to have President Boucher with us in this meeting as well. It was a great meeting!!!! 

This week was very different for me to be here in Puerto Rico for Easter its always very interesting to see the traditions here for this time of year!!! Here they have like a reenactment of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and walk up and down the streets!!! It is very different.  

This was our week. We saw the love that our Heavenly Father has for each and every single one of us! 

I am so grateful for the love that our Older Brother Jesus Christ showed to us by suffering for us and dying for us. I know it wasn't easy and I know that he asked for another way but he knew that it had to be done and that he would do the Father's will. I testify to all of you that the Atonement isn't just for those who have sinned but it is also for all of those that want to be like Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven. I am truly grateful for the Atonement in my life and I know that without it I wouldn't be here today and I wouldn't be the person that I am today!!! 

I love you all and miss you tons!!! I can't wait to see you on Skype here shortly. I am so grateful for all the love and Support that you give me!!!!
