Monday, Feb. 26, 2024
Que tal yall!
This week was so good. Super powerful. We had some amazing miracles, had some wonderful blessings, and the vibes were immaculate.
Starting out last Monday. We had our first lesson with Danny at the bishop's house. And it was so powerful! We put Danny on date to be baptized on March 9th. The spirit was so strong. And it was a super powerful lesson. He is the most prepared person ever. Bishop has been his friend for a while and Danny has been prepared for a long time. Bishop has just talked to him about the gospel for a while and now Danny is ready! He actually lives in another ward In the El Paso stake boundaries. But he got permission to be baptized into the Soccoro ward, and stay here for a year. Elder Mecham and I just have the blessing to be the missionaries that teach him everything he needs to be taught. He is already so ready. This will be my first baptism and I am so excited. We have worked so hard these last 4 and a half months and it is so nice to have a blessing and miracle like this.
On Tuesday, we found some more people to teach and had a bussin dinner with bishop's family.
On Wednesday we grinded and also had another lesson with Danny at bishop's house. We taught the plan of salvation and we wrote it all out on a white board, which was super powerful. Danny took a picture and sent it to us haha. We also had some incredible tacos with a family in the ward. So so so so good. We also started the day at the sand hills with saul and it was brutal lol.
Thursday we grinded and went finding all day. We had an amazing dinner at Papa Ericks (an absolutely incredible burger place down here) with the Masers. They always take us there when they sign up to feed us. The food is so good.
Friday we started the day at a football stadium near the sand hills. We did stairs, and 100 and 200 meter sprints. And I have gotten a lot faster and better in shape. My hard work is definitely paying off. We had district council and Pres and Sister Edwards pulled up. Nice to see them they are super awesome. We went finding and dinner that night with the Dunn family. The vibes were so immaculate. An absolutely incredible sunset around the campfire. So beautiful. They had a ton of pizza and pulled pork so you already know I grubbed. I also had my first smore in like 6 months which was bussin. It was such a killer time. Super fun. W day fr.
Elder Mecham's family friends sent us more sock ties this week which was awesome. My sock tie game has gone up big time. I've got some super dope ones now. I love sock ties
Saturday was a grind.
And Sunday was so lit. Church was super awesome. And we had 8 of our friends pull up! Including Danny, and the King family which we are teaching. Massive w. We hit the finding grind after church and found 3 new people to teach. We had another lesson with Danny at bishops and we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was mega powerful. We also had a phone lesson with Luis and brother Zuniga which was awesome.
Overall a truly incredible week. So awesome to see the blessings of hard work and diligence. Elder mecham and I are so tight and have become best friends. It has so awesome to be companions with him. It will be sad next transfer because one of us will for sure leave this area.
Spiritual sprinkle:
I wanted to invite you all to read this conference talk by Elder Rasband, and pray about it. It an awesome talk. Senior missionaries are so awesome! The ones in our mission are amazing! But the Lord needs way more! The blessings of a mission are absolutely incredible. So I would invite yall to please read this talk and follow the invitation in it, to pray about it.
