Hey everyone!😁 Grateful for another week. It was full of tender memories and meaningful ful experiences. My mission President, President Ocampo, will be finishing his service this week and we will be receiving a new President. My words are inadequate to describe the impact that President Ocampo has had in my life. I'm grateful for his example and his love and devotion for the savior, Jesus Christ.

 We had a farewell Conference with our whole mission. It was a wonderful time to reflect on the amazing miracles we've received from the lord as well as to make plans to press on and move the work forward.
 As a mission in the month of May, we helped 107 souls come unto Christ through the waters of baptism and receive the Holy Ghost! We've heeded the admonition of President Nelson to seek for and expect miracles and the lord has provided these blessings!  This past week we baptized our friend Vanessa! After meeting with the missionaries for 6 months she finally decided to act in faith and enter the into the Covenant Path😇
Being a part of the gathering of israel is everything I could ask for at this time!  I love you all and hope the greatest week to 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 ...
