Week 11 Carolina (Pontezuela)

Family and Friends,

First I wanted to start off by saying that Puerto Rico is amazing and it is probably the happiest Country in the World this weekend!!!! As a lot of you know Monica Puig is huge hero here. She won the Gold Medal this weekend in Tennis. man everyone has been celebrating a lot this past weekend.

But for my letter this week, we had a great week I am so grateful for all the wonderful things that are happening here and we are really trying to find those people that the Lord has prepared for us.  

I wanted to say that I miss you all and I love you all so much you guys are always in my prayers, I can't believe that all of my friends are so much different [getting married, having babies, going to college, going on missions, returning from missions] <-- It is super cool to hear how their missions changed their lives and then I am thinking about my mission and how it has changed me, I know that the Lord has sent me here to Puerto Rico for a reason and that he has a plan for me!!!! 

I am so grateful for all the support that you guys have shown to me, I always like to think that I can't do this alone, you guys as family and friends have been a big part of this mission for me and I am grateful for all of you!!!! 

I know that the Lord has a plan for each and everyone of us and He is leading us where He wants us to go!!! 

I love you all and miss you tons, I hope you all have a great week!!!! I can't wait to hear from you all next week!!!!

Week 10 Carolina (Pontezuela)

Family and Friends

This week was very difficult for us we are having problems with finding people. This week I have had a good opportunity to learn the importance of members in this work. 

Today we had the opportunity to have a testimony builder for the 3 of us, we went to Costco to go shopping and the member bought us a a slice of Pizza and when we were going to sit down some guy called Elder Lopez over and started to talk to him and he was saying some pretty mean things not only about the Church about me and Elder Morris, he was telling us that we were all liars and that we basically are wasting our time but then he told Elder Lopez that he was a liar and basically a loser for being with 2 Americans. He then asked for a card with Elder Lopez's number and we pulled out a card and he started going off again that Jesus isn't white and that the Bible says that he is brown. Long Story Short we have been blessed with the amazing gospel in our lives. 

I have learned from this experience that nothing can destroy my faith and my testimony that I have in this gospel. No matter what people say or do to hurt us we have to remember that the Lord has called us and we are Sons and Daughters of God. I am so grateful for this gospel I have in my live and all the wonderful blessings I have received and I will continue to receive. 

I Love you all and miss you tons!!! I can't wait to be able to see each of your smiling faces again!!!! You guys mean the world to me and I couldn't have asked for a better family and better friends. 

Until next week, I hope I have even more to share!!!! 

Love

Elder Musgo

Week 8 in Pontezuela (Carolina)

Family and Friends;

Sorry I am writing today and not yesterday. Yesterday was a Holiday here, we celebrated The Constitution of Puerto Rico so everywhere was closed that we could write. So we just stayed home and played Dominoes all day!!!!!

But as you have seen by my pictures YES, WE HAD A BAPTISM!!! It was so cool we did the WHOLE thing in English just for him because is from Dominica and doesn't speak very much Spanish. As you can see I was in all white and so was Bishop, the reasoning is that Joseph had a stroke a while ago and he can only use the Left side of his body so he asked me to be in the water to help him and he asked the Bishop to do the Ordinance and now this Sunday I will be honored to be confirming him a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!!!!!!!!!! It will be in English also!!!!!!!! We are so happy for him!!!!

But now its time to move on an help others as well but that was a little bit easier two weeks ago right as we were finishing Sacrament meeting there was a family who showed up but as they saw that we were leaving to go to the classes me and Elder Morris quickly followed after them and asked them if they wanted to stay for the classes. so they stayed and then they came this Sunday as well and yesterday we had the opportunity to teach them and tried to set a date with them but they didn't want that quite yet but its okay with time. When they are ready. 

Well family and friends as you can see the work is coming along here in Puerto Rico and the Lord is blessing us with people to teach. The mission has changed me a ton and I can't wait to show everyone what I have learned and who I am now. i love you all so much and miss you tons!!!!! I hope you all have a great week!!!!

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!!!!
