Buenos dias     How are y'all doing?! Another week in Reno!! I say that a lot... but like seriously everyday I wake up and say "Wow. I'm in Nevada." Kind of whack, but not too bad! This week went by pretty fast! We had a lot going on so that was fun and made it easier for me! I'm gonna do a little day by day break down... here you go!      Tuesday: District council! First one of the transfers. We kind of figured out what the freak is going on with the members in our branch. We want to get in better contact with them, bring them to lessons and more! We also have 5 active members in our area. A lot of member work to do! Anyways yeah then we had a lesson which was pretty short!      Wednesday: zone conference baby! Got to see some people from around Reno again which was nice! Made some friends in other zones so it's good to see them. President and Sister Dunn spiritually enlightened us so that was sick too. They're awesome! Learned a lot from this zo...

Buenos Dias a todos!!     What's good everybody. You already know what time it is. It's your favorite email of the week! I know you all are just on the edge of your seat every Monday! Hahaha I'm just kidding! I promise that I'm humble.     This week was actually a pretty good week! After I sent my email last week we had an amazing family home evening with this family were teaching! They're so awesome and they have been progressing! We had a lot of times this week also where we had asked people if they were ready to get baptized. They all said no, but we got them to start thinking about it! That is all that matters. I've been getting a lot better at teaching and testifying so now I can pretty much hold my own ground. With my new companion after 9 I usually try to be alone as long as possible. Not the point, but during these times I've been able to practice teaching these lessons and learn new ways of teaching. My scriptures are marked up and look like I had a...

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone!!     You already know. Another week here in Reno, Nevada!! Transfers happened. People have come and gone! I have a new companion!! Yay! His name is Elder Christen. He likes D&D, he likes to sleep in, he plays the ukulele, and is 24 years old!! Haha I don't know much about him yet. He is WAY different from my old comp hahaha. So this week was mostly me getting adjusted to him. I'm also not going to lie to all of you, this week was definitely one of the hardest weeks I've had out here. I just want you all to know that it's okay to say you're struggling. I love seeing all these amazing happy emails back home, but it's not all amazing and happy all the time. Sometimes, we struggle and feel sad or frustrated. THAT'S OKAY! Anyways, little rant hahaa. So yes, I'm going to be honest. I struggled this week, but I've been able to find the good and the happy throughout. Through Christ, I've been able to see etern...

Aye yooo another week in Reno, Nevada!!     Alright so this week was fun but also sad. Also, there were a ton of changes so I get to share them all with you! If you don't care, you can scroll down to the pictures, but i'm telling you this week was NUTS!      Alright. The list is dope. I'm doing it again. It makes everything easy. Here we go!!     - Remember my amazing Exchanges with Elder Hardman?! Well, this man was called to be our next AP! That is insane! Basically, for those who don't know what that is, it stands for assistant president. He basically will just help the president out with anything he needs! It is a big deal and we miss him greatly! Intimidating, I went on Exchanges with an AP as a greenie!! He also loved our exchange! The AP liked me guys. That means some serious favors. JUST KIDDING!!!     - Since Elder Hardman was called to be an AP... where was his companion going to go?! Make a guess! Did you make it? He came with us!!...

¡Hola a todos!     I'm going to just keep my greetings in Spanish because I don't want to make anyone who doesn't know Spanish to feel bad! (Just kidding, my Spanish isn't very good either)     How are you wonderful people doing?! Another solid week in the Sierra branch here in Reno, Nevada! Lots of fun times and some hard times! Just before I tell you all a little about my week, I want to share something I've learned. It's okay to be absolutely ticked, mad, upset, tired, or whatever the feeling may be! This week I've experienced some times where my top was about to blow, for various reasons, but what I always seem to remember is the love of my Savior. At the moment, I might not understand why things are going the way they are or why someone said the things they said. However, through the perfect example of Christ I can forgive and get over it. I'm so grateful for the example of my Savior! My testimony is growing tremendously and I couldn't be more h...
