Semana 14

Hello my amazing friends and family! Nothing too crazy went on this week... I am just happy to be here :)

Driving holla

Our friend, Bobbie, has been struggling with priesthood authority and baptism these past few lessons but we know that once she gets over this little bump in the road she will be golden! She is so elect and has family who are members and she actually keeps commitments which is so great. She is very intelligent and comprehensive to the things we teach her. We are so grateful for her and her willingness to listen to our message because our teaching pool is getting smaller by the minute ahah! I don't know if other missionaries have the same problem but it is really hard to get people to keep commitments over the phone especially when we don't know who they are on a personal level. That is why I am so stoked to go to Mexico hopefully soon because I need more person to person interaction hahah!

Our friend Percy is a meme and a half he is a total goofball and can barely hear bc he's so old. He looks like a Santa who hasn't eaten for 2 years and he always invites us over to watch the Ten Commandments with him despite the 20 times we told him that we can't. We love the man to death but we aren't sure how far he can go because there is no way we can get him to church. 

We've been messaging this man named Sean off of Facebook Messenger. He is a rapper and seems like a pretty cool guy. We found out he's from Nigeria last week so we referred him off but he still asks us some random questions here and there, it's legit. We messaged him because his profile pic was a picture of Jesus and this week it rapidly changed to a man with a tattooed face and grills with a gun pointing at his skull and we were like what the ahaha!

Snow!!!

We went to drop off a Book of Mormon to this guys house and we didn't have phone service to find our way back to our town, so we used Google Maps to find the best possible road back to town. Welllll we went on this road and it was totally this back country road that wasn't even paved. We were driving through a stream half of the time. Elder Culebro and I thought it was a party while Elder Wilson was freaking out because he did not want to bottom out the car in this stream and ruin our new 2020 mission car that has barely 600 miles on it lol. Güd times!

That's all for this week! Love you all! Emails are greatly appreciated! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Alma 37:9
"9 And now, my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness"

Semana One: Welcome Everybody! (August 26, 2020)

Hola amigos y familia!!! WOW!!  This week has been so incredible and incredibly long haha! But I have loved every second of it. Last Wednesday I started the at home MTC experience and I mean it when I say it, it has completely changed my life. It's so crazy how in such a short amount of time my attitude towards EVERYTHING has changed tremendously. Not gonna lie, I was a little bitter and upset about doing the at home MTC initially, but it is seriously so much fun!  My district is so money and we have the best teachers! Hermana Mejia and Hermano Gallegos. My district is straight "GOAT"ed and I love every single one of them! We have learned so much together as a district and our español is definitely improving. After just one week at the MTC I've been able to say my prayers in Spanish, bear my testimony, and memorize some scriptures! I guess you can say it's coming along well! It has definitely been hard adjusting to the new missionary life and saying goodbye to the

Semana 81: Make Love, Not War

Image
The title comes from a Mexican missionary shouting, "Make Love!! Not War!!" in a district council. Just about all of our district speaks English so when he made that error, we all dropped to the floor laughing. I guess that's one way to solve the crisis happening in Ukraine right now.  Hermana Sedgwick I went on exchanges with the stud Elder Robertson!! He was the Canadian missionary in my MTC district and one of our best zone leaders. It was so fun! Familia Mota We were at our recent converts house. He was feeling pretty sick so we walked him over to his bed. We were talking to his daughters and his wife when all of a sudden we heard this loud bang on the floor. We looked over and it was our convert that had fallen off the bed. He had a seizure which caused him to fall off the bed and smacked his face so hard on the cement floor that he was unconscious. We all freaked out and lifted him up onto the bed. He was snoring and breathing really heavily but he would not wake up

Semana 18: ITS CHRISTMAS TIME BABYYYYY

Image
Hellooooo everybody! I hope y'all are staying safe out there and partying hard. Christmas season is the BEST out here on the mish because so many more hearts are open and receptive to the message of the restored gospel. We have seen so many miracles here in Norwich and in the Syracuse Mission. Boy this week was a longgggg one and a great one. I am so beyond blessed to be here during these exciting times!  Before the Nor'easter And After.....this AZ boy is like, whoa!!! So it turns out one of our friends, Barbara, lives outside of our area. We had to refer her off which was such a sad day because she was so sweet and loving. We gave her a call and broke the sad news to her and she was very understanding. But before we hung up, she started serenading us to some Christian hymn and it was really sweet. A little off tune, but hey I don't blame her because I can't carry a tune myself. We had to mute the phone for some of it because we were laughing so hard that this 80 year o
