Week 28

Muy buenos días a todos!!!     Everybody!!! This week was awesome sauce good time. Carson city is becoming more and more elect each week. We've got some weird weather but overall it's been sunny and warm! Reno will have my heart but Carson city!! It's really cool.      This week was amazing with our work. We have been really grinding everyday! I have found myself absolutely loving talking to these people. You would think 6 months into my mission I'd be a legend at talking to people... Nope! That is wrong. I'm still an awkward white boy speaking Spanish. However, it doesn't stop me! I'm very determined to bring The Restored Gospel to those here in Carson City!     Also, just this Saturday I had the most wonderful opportunity of baptizing my bestestestest friend Alan. It was probably so far the highlight of my mission. Just seeing his progression has been such an amazing experience. We teach him lessons, but in reality he has taught me so much more. Of c...

Hola a todos!!     Como están?! This week was yet another... Wait make a guess... A fire week!!! It's just getting better and better here in Carson City baby! It's getting cooler and cooler the longer I stay here. When we drive around I always say, "Wow Carson City is muy chevere" and my companion always gives me a funny look! If that has any indication of how awesome it is here... You'll know.     We worked pretty hard this week once again! Just about everyday we are hitting the grind! It's been really good for me just to get going everyday and have almost no time. It's a mix of awesome and awful because my humane gross teenage lazy self wants to nap instead of Language Study but no! I gotta stay diligent and work hard because that's where the true joy is. A big thing I've learned is that hard work is far more rewarding than relaxation or "breaks."     Had a Zone Conference this week! Was really awesome but they're really cracking do...

Buenas!!!     How are you all doing? I'm just here to report another solid week here in Carson City! This place is growing on me, I will not lie. It's pretty small and barren but I have found things to like! My companion and I worked really hard this week. I'm not kidding, we worked HARD. We were waking up earlier and going to bed later because of the work we had. Cutting dinners short, running back to the apartment only to go to the bathroom, it was seriously a crazy week. It was well worth it too! We found 9 new people to start teaching on a regular basis. After this week my testimony of Heavenly Father blessing you for your efforts has strengthened.     We were able to attend the Temple this week! It was such a refreshing experience for both my companion and I. The temple really brings a unique peace that can be found anywhere else. I was really excited to go and we had to wake up around 5:45 to get there on time. Since I was in Reno, I was able to see a few peopl...

Week 25

Buenos días!! How are y'all doing?! As I said last week... Ya boy is in Carson City!!! It's actually really hype down here!! I have really been enjoying it down here so far. It took a few days to adjust and everything but I'm really enjoying this time I've had so far! My new companion is a DAWG! His name is Elder Loria! He is a complete homie. He is from Lehi, Utah! He is really into calisthenics which is like body weight exercises so we grind in the mornings! No seriously, he is awesome and I've been liking it here! I'm in the Spanish area as well so it's been really fun since I've gotten here. My Spanish is still okay so it's going great down here!     Carson City is literally different from Reno! It's almost like... Closed off from all of Nevada. It's weird but it's kind of isolated! We live in a quad with some other Elders! My whole mission I thought it would be really fun to be in a quad, but it's really not that fun!  They stay ...
