LaTour, Cole PT

Hola mis bellos amigos! This week was so fire! But Holy smokes im tired. I'm pretty sure that's normal at this point in my mission, but no better reason to push forward than salvation right?! We had some cool stuff happen this week as well as some stuff not so exciting :( However, we focus on the positive and the uplifting!! I was able to go on an exchange with the one and only Élder Madrid this week was had an absolute blast. We got along very well and it's so nice because we both know how to do missionary work! It flows and it's good. It was snowing super hard when we started going out and we both had the thought of rethinking what we had planned earlier. I honestly was having faith that if we kept knocking, something would happen but Élder Madrid got that impression. We prayed and had the impressions to visit a few people and what was cool is we needed to be at each of those places at the right time. Gosh, I love being a missionary! We had zone conference this week a...

Hola mis pachangueros!! Man another week has flown by! I'm going to keep saying that till I die it seems like. I've noticed a lot of just how much time can slip by and how I need to savor every second! I found this Scripture in Matthew the other day and I guess I'll share it here so you all see it hehe. "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened" (Matthew 24:22) in this verse it's talking about the tribulations that will come and how the elect of God will still have to pass through these things, but it'll seem shorter because of their faith and obedience to God. I feel like this works with any part of life too! When we're righteous and following Christ, everyday seems to pass by so quickly! I've seen that for sure in my service before the Lord. Okay so yes, now about my week! Since it was transfer week and we didn't have any changes Élder Seaquist and I got ...

Wowowow que paso?! Time flies by too fast. Didn't I just write you all an email? Man haha I can't believe it's been a week already. I had a fantastic week! Some amazing stuff happened and We saw some really really cool miracles! We also had transfer news so that always makes it fun and interesting right? To start off, transfer news! I'm staying here with my trainee here in the same area. I'm really excited because I have my friend Alejandro who will be baptized here in the next month and I'm glad I get to work with him still! We've seen a lot of progress with him and we love to meet with him weekly. We went over the commandments (Well, not me because I was away on exchanges) and he loved each and every single one and said they made total sense! Kind of cool how the Lord prepares His people to accept the gospel when it is their time! We got him a magnifying glass so that he can read the Scriptures more and not struggle haha. I had a really great opportunity t...

Bueno bueno a todos!! Man, what a week filled with miracles! Ah man, I can say with certeza that God is so good! We had a lot of success this past week and of course a lot of fun that followed. I'm so grateful to have had a not so good week so I can know how to appreciate the good ones! It's getting a bit warmer here and I'm happy about it. It's hitting around 40 degrees and above so it's been sweater weather! Reminds me of that song from SpongeBob. It's also scaring me because that means I'm closer and closer to ending my mission, eeek! Well I'm going to say this first because you will have a higher chance of reading it and not skipping down to the bottom. Alejandro is on date for baptism!! We had such an amazing lesson with him the past week. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and talked about the eternal joy that comes from following Him. We bore testimony so strongly of the power of covenants and how it literally binds us to Christ. We afterwards a...
