November 26, 2018 Week # 70 Cuenca Spain Madrid Spain Mission

Love you so much! Sorry I don't

t have time to write. Thanks for the update! Have a great week!
This week was killer. 


To tell the truth I don't have much time. We spent all day playing soccer, football, and basketball. And we ate a fat thanksgiving lunch with the Zone. Couldn't ask for a better day. 

Our area is doing good, friends are progressing well! Florín and Gabi are on track for the 15th so we are super excited. We also had a mini thanksgiving Thursday. Um and yeah the week flew by. 

Something that has been on my mind this week has been to "bridle all (our) passions". Me and the comp we talked about passions being any strong feeling that we have. So practically that means controlling all of our strong feelings, now here comes the twist. Most of the time we talk about that in reference to sexual desires or passions, but what about righteous desires or passions? How about then? How zealous should we be in our pursuit of righteousness and obedience? Well, it comes down to whether or not we can feel love. We bridle all our passions so that we are full of love like it teaches to us in Alma. So if your desires keep you from feeling love...... your doing it wrong. Remember that repentance is a happy progress and it the sin that causes the feelings we don't like. So repent and get better, and I promise you'll see blessings! 

Love you guys have a good week! Remember to read your scriptures, say your prayers, bridle your passions, be humble, be obedient, find a way to serve someone as we start #lighttheworld, and NEVER GET UP!

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 "

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...
