Buenos días a todos y Feliz Navidad!!     Hey, what's going on everybody! Merry Christmas! I'm a little late But I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas focusing on the birth of our Savior! This week was actually pretty good! I had some struggles being away from home on Christmas, but the Lord reminded me of my purpose being here! I was able to contact my family on Christmas day and "open" gifts with them. It was really fun to still spend that day with them, even over the phone! My wonderful parents sent me some gifts still which was so nice of them!      There were some good parts of my week and I wanted to share one with you all! Christmas Eve, me and my companion started to worry that we didn't have much to do on that day. We began to panic and frantically daily plan ideas of what we could do. I remember thinking, let's do some caroling! He kind of liked the idea, I'm assuming he wasn't all on board because he knew my voice sounds like a really rea...

¡Buenos días a todos!     Hahaha hey everybody! First week of the Transfer baby! Not much has changed since me and my companion are staying together! And by nothing has changed I mean within our apartment and such... Because every day changes while you're a missionary! Gotta love the flakey appointments, last minute calls, being ghosted, and much more! However, it does not discourage me porque esta es la obra del Señor! I've really been loving my time out here and it's kind of crazy to think I've been doing this for 4 months! I don't want to count the time because the end of my mission is SO far away (sorry, mom) from where I'm at right now!     This week was hot and cold for me. There were times where I've never been so inspired to share this gospel and all the joy it contains. My eagerness to serve the Lord shines bright and I talk to everyone in sight and desire everyone to know Christ like I do. However, there are mornings, days, and nights where I wish ...

Buenos días!     Alright everybody what's good. Reno baby! This week flew by. I am not even going to lie. These days are starting to get faster. Is that a good thing or bad thing? Not sure!     So... I know you all are dying to know. Transfers!! Am I leaving or am I staying? Of course I'm staying!! Let's go! Me and my comp will have another transfer together. Staying here for another transfer means a lot of things so I'm really excited. This transfer is going to be 7 weeks long, so I will be here till February! God blesses those that are faithful!     Alright, so this week was freezing cold. Winter is starting around here! It doesn't snow here though. It just gets cold. In Reno, rarely is there snow. It's been just dry and cold. Yay!     I have been on a general conference grind. I think I've read like 15 talks since Saturday. I don't know what it is... All of the sudden I just felt like I should be reading them more! So that has been really good ...

¡Buenos días todos!     Cómo están ustedes?! Estoy muy bien en mi misión! There you go, daily dose of Spanish for ya!     Anyways, you know me. Another solid week in Reno baby! Just grinding and getting the work of the Lord DONE! This week low-key went by pretty fast.      It's December! The season is all about Christ! Oh my gosh I'm so excited to solely be focused on my Savior. As we walk around, I always offer people a message of Jesus Christ and a message of hope! Of course, people deny you because you're an 18 year old white boy speaking an oddly good amount of Spanish to them... But nonetheless my determination to delacre to the world that Christ lives does not diminish!     Couple highlights of the week!!     - Our friends Yumalai and Yaritzi are going to be baptized! I'm sooo excited! My first baptism and they want me to baptize them both! (if I stay here next transfer) I am so excited for them! I've been blessed to see them ...
