Hola a todos!

This week was awesome!  My testimony of the Plan of Salvation, the Gospel, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has continued to develop.  I have learned so much while I have been out here, and I continue to grow in different areas. For the longest time, I have been the quiet person in the companionship, but I recently decided I want to speak up more and share my beliefs about Jesus Christ. I am very grateful for the knowledge I have gained so far and the growth I have experienced.

Our mission is gaining momentum and will continue to do so. More and more people want to get closer to Jesus Christ through us. We are His hands. We do His work so He can change us for the better. I really love the saying: “We leave our families for two years so others can be with their families for eternity.” That is so true!

My companion’s birthday—Elder Ragan—was Monday, June 21st. He said it was a great birthday. We played pickleball, sang happy birthday to him, and celebrated him in the cultural hall at the church.  To make him feel special, we came into the room two-by-two singing and celebrating.

This P-day was very exciting!.  We went fishing and I caught a trout!  Never thought I would be fishing during our preparation day, but I am grateful for the moments we have of relaxation and enjoyment that make our missions awesome, cool, and very unique.  There are some Mission experiences you can’t get anywhere else.

 This week’s scripture is 3rd Nephi 5:13:

“Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of Him to declare His word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.”

 It is true; we do declare the word of the Lord so others can have eternal life.

Thank you all for your love, support, and care. Love ya’ll ❤️ ✌️ 😎 🙏
