Chapter 16: 20 years, 20 months!



Hey guys! 

 What a week!
This week was more or less a regular week except we had a multizone conference in Tegucigalpa! It was super spiritual and really cool! I learned a lot, but one of my favorite things that they stressed was the importance of always finding new people! We've been asked as a mission to contact at least 10 people every day and to find at least 15 new investigators each week! That can be tough because our schedules start to fill up quickly! you really have to prioritize your schedule and always keep moving forward! So anyway after the multi zone (wednesday) Elder Martinez and I committed ourselves to getting the 15 new this week, even though we had already gone 3 days into the week and only had 2 news! But we prayed and after some awesome miracles, we found our 15th investigator yesterday at church! It was a  week of hard work but I know we had the support of the Lord! It was sweet!

Also, we did not baptize on my birthday, but that's not too important. We're working hard, don't you worry.

This week I had my birthday! I turned 20 years old! Also on the 27th I hit 4 months on the mission, which means I only have 20 months left! I'm so grateful for these last 20 years of life. I've had amazing parents that have supported me throughout my life and have raised me to be the person I am today. I am soo grateful for them. I also thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to be born into His Church in these latter days. I'm super grateful for the opportunity I have now to serve the mission, as a sort of tithe for the 20 years, I'm giving up two to the Lord, but even then I'm still eternally indebted to Him. I know my Savior lives. I know he loves us and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is His true and living Church.

I'd like to say thanks to all the friends and family that have supported me and helped me become who I am today. I'm grateful for everything I've been given and hope to always do my best to give back.

Love you guys!
Make good choices!

A pie that the Bishop's family from my last ward baked for me when they learned I was getting transfered! Me blinking in front of the Comayagua sign (ft. Elder Murray) Pics with my boy at the temple! (ft. my new suit) Food storage!   Hey guys! Kinda crazy how much the world has changed in these last 7 days. Here's what's new with me: Transfers: I'M FINALLY TRAINING A NEW MISSIONARY!!!! Woohoo! His name is Elder Nabaum, he's from Heber City, Utah. He's a great guy! I'm opening an area in a city called Juticalpa! It's really hot and humid here, but I'm loving it! We're assigned to a small branch called Belen (hence the subject line) and so far so good! We've still only met a few of the members (because thanks to Coronavirus, we didn't have sacrament meeting yesterday) but we're out here doing our best! I'm really happy and we totally called it this transfer! We've been predicting this transfer for a couple weeks now! What is wei...

District Pedicures My Companion and I experiencing a pedicure for the first time Elder Murray dulling our only good knife Celebrating my 20 months on the mission with Cinnabon William's baptism!   Hey guys! This week it was overcast and slightly raining for 3 days which made the weather not that hot for those days, so that was a blessing William's Baptism: Saturday was leap day we celebrated with a baptism!! Our boy William was baptized on Saturday, and even though he doesn't smile in any pictures, we promise he was really happy that day! He's such a wholesome kid and he's really smart too! This week we're going to teach him about the priesthood to prep him to receive the Aaronic Priesthood this week or next! District Pedicures: Our good friend Hermana Cox is ending her mission this week and may have convinced our whole district to get pedicures together... So I got my first pedicure this week. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think it was reall...
