Jan 18th email-

Well I'm 3 months in!  Crazy how fast it's been going tbh but yeee lets goo.  Unfortunately we're quarantined rn cuz caes of covid have been rising a lot in Laredo. The whole city is kind of in a mandate but not really, but we as missionaries have to pretty much stay inside this week so it kinda blows but we're gonna continue the lords work through that Facebook grind🙏  but other than that, this past week was a good one.  Lots of good spiritual moments and my Spanish is improving each day.  We have some awesome investigators that we're teaching, one in particular is Guillermo.  This guy is such a beast!  He just came here from mexico like 3 weeks ago and just immediately started taking lessons with us!  He understands what we teach, he's reading the Book of Mormon and he's feeling the spirit.  
 It's so beautiful and special to see someone wanting to change their life for the better by coming unto Christ!  Guillermo is gonna be getting baptized in the next couple weeks!  I just want yall to know that this work is so beautiful and you truly come closer to Christ by serving him, I've witnessed that in my life and i know it's true.  Serving others brings peace and joy to the world, so never hesitate to serve, no matter how small or simple it is!   I love yall, til next week:)

  Feb 7th email -  Hello everyone!  Thought it'd be good to update you all again  We had transfers on Monday.  After 6 months together, one of my companions Elder Iverson has left the area. I'm gonna miss him! It was an amazing ride and I'll be grateful for his influence always.  I am still with Elder Havea and am on my 16th and final transfer.  Our friend Edgar was baptized a couple weeks ago!  We have been so blessed to see such great success in this area.  I love this area and the people so much.  I hope everyone back home is doing great!  I would love to hear from anyone!  Love you all

LOTS OF PICS (and 1 video)! Keep scrolling...  Feb 22 email -  Hola todos!  Como están?  Tuve una semana tan loca con el frio en Texas!  Pero ahorita estoy muy bien echándole ganas jajaja.  Anyways if you don't know what's been going on, this past week about 1/3 of Texas lost water and power due to the weather I believe, I'm still not too sure what caused everything but man it was a crazy week.  So sorry I couldn't write an email last Monday, we had no power and electricity and I had no service on my phone.  So it got down to 18 degrees down in Laredo, and I think it was the coldest it has ever been down there.  It was a struggle haha we didn't have power for a couple days so our apartment was freezing.  Thankfully we have some awesome members in our ward that made sure we had food and warm blankets, and they gave us some candles.  We were able to get power again and everything seems to be back to normal now.   So I ended ...

  Aug 29 email  What's up everyone!  Sorry it has been a minute since I've sent an email.  Things have been crazy!  Sadly, I left Brownsville after an absolute amazing transfer.  Super grateful for the amazing members and friends I met there and for the lessons learned.  My last week there, our friend Jorge chose to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized    I'm now in Mission, Texas and my new companions are Elders Wood and Iverson!  We've been super busy and have been enjoying the work so much.  Excited for the miracles we will see from the lord. I've been studying a lot of the Character of Christ.  Everything that Jesus Christ did was centered on reaching out in love, service and compassion to others.  1 of many things that I've learned on my mission, is that not everything is about me. It is about Jesus Christ and God's children.  That's it.  Putting others needs before our own may seem hard but through applying ...
