April 13 - TRANSFERRED TO CORPUS CHRISTI!!!








April 18 email

Hey everybody!  It's been an eventful week!  Transfers were last week and I left the amazing place of La Joya that truly became my home for the past 4 months.  I will cherish the amazing friendships and experiences I had during my time there.  I have left the Valley down south and moved up north to Corpus Christi right on the beach🙏  my new companion is Elder Kartchner from Sacramento California!  We work great together and he has great love and determination to serve the lord which is greatly needed.  We will be seeing many miracles occur this transfer.  

I hope everyone had time this past week to reflect and ponder on the atonement of Jesus Christ and what his sacrifice and Resurrection means to you.  It is something that we should always be celebrating and pondering about everyday:)  I have a firm testimony that has been built on Christ and his atonement and I know that because of what he has done we may receive his enabling power to strengthen, cleanse and heal us if we choose to follow him and honor covenants we have made.  This power is real just as he is.  I'm grateful for the lord.  I wish everyone a fantastic week and always feel free to reach out for anything, I love you all.

  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 ...
