November 12, 2018 Week # 68 "Park bench" Cuenca Spain Madrid Mission


 11-12-18
The title is park bench, because that's where I'm sitting right now busting this email out, this week's won't be too flashy. 

It was a great week though! We had a few great appointments, and a few not so great. We extended baptismal dates to our friends Fernando and Gabi, Gabi doesn't know if his mom will give him permission and Fernando simply said "my family's Catholic" and shrugged his shoulders haha. So we're going to try again another day. It wasn't very spiritual because our other friend Daniel, who was supposed to be waiting patiently outside the church, was ringing the bell and pounding on the door haha, it's all good. 

Learned a few things this week. Firstly, if you can't feel love in your heart, your doing it wrong. Secondly, being right isn't a justification for being proud, cruel, or harsh. Still be nice. Thirdly, the importance of positive thinking. If you think bad about people, you will treat those people badly. Look for the good in everybody! 

We had intercambios this week and like y'all know, ain't nobody go hungry in the batty house. Pictures below hehe. 

Also shout out to my pelirojo, baller, Elder Johnson because we hit up that Japanese buffet today and the lady got mad at me for asking for so much sushi. She still made it, and I still ate it. All of it. Hahaha


I love all of you! Have a good week! Remember to say your prayers, read your scriptures, love your neighbor, go to church, be humble, keep asking questions because there are answers, be obedient, think better thoughts, and DON'T GIVE UP! 


God lives, and loves you. Talk to him.

What's up what's up its your favorite door to door salesman out  here doing the Lords work! (If you never saw the Snapchat series I'm sorry you missed out) This week was killer, we straight grinded. We've started a lot of new things lately and there are about to be some changes, were just laying that solid foundation right now. This week we taught a little, our investigator Jenny is practically a member we're just waiting till the week after General Conference to have the baptism. Our boy Juan is doing good, after his contact with missionaries in 92 he hasn't had much more but little by little were watching the spirit change his heart and pique his interest. If Anyone knows of some guy with the last name of Sampson thats from Alpine and is in his 40s, give him my numb.... uh email. Haha it would be cool to reconnect him and Juan after 25 years. Everyone is still pretty basic and we've started to work with new people so more updates coming soon!  This...

January 28, 2019 Week #79 Spain Madrid Mission "Who's yo daddyyyy/ Welcome to my fortress / Baptism "

Image
Good Morning U.S.A.!!  Well what can I say, last week was Christmas and we had a good call with the fam. Now were looking down the barrel of 2019.  It's been a couple great weeks here in Badajoz, there is a ton of potential and we have a couple of friends that are progressing well and will soon have baptismal dates. The branch is great, I've eaten lunch in our flat a total of 4 times since I've gotten here haha. And apart from that they are all incredible when it comes to the work, and we had a really inspiring class from President Vallecio on the changes in the church and how it's going to help the members and the missionary work!  If you can't tell I am excited on a whole other level to get the work going!  This past week we spent Christmas in Cáceres with the other Elders and a matrimony the Hubbs. It was great and we ate pretty similar to a normal Christmas which was fantastic! Then we came back and put some work in. In one day our di...

The Week of the Elect Week #9

Image
This week was absolutely nuts! So some back story, every since I've gotten here in the mission I've told my companion that we need to find the Lord's "elect"  D&C 33:6 And even so will I gather mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice.  D&C 29:7 And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts; Because me being fresh out of the mtc I was gung-ho on taking care of business. My companion gets hung up on every single person, so I constantly reminded that we need to find those that are ready to except the gospel. This week our hard works came to fruition. We finally were able to meet and teach a member referral Christina. So last week when she showed up for her appointment her and the member were in an all out like screaming match so that was super scary but it all calmed down. We had already set a baptismal date wi...
