Days in Queretaro

 Ola Familia y Amigos,


So sorry I haven't been sending any emails these past few weeks.  Not much has been happening to say the least, but there are some days that are cool.  So, pretty much P-days are the most eventful day of the week.  We have had some carne asada P-days where we all get together and make food.  We also go to the mall which is like my favorite part of the week because for some reason walking around stores makes me feel like a normal human being. . . an active member of society ha ha!  

It's been raining here a bunch which I love and it feels nice!  I love playing the piano when I can and I have written a few mini songs which are pretty cool.  Oh, and I got vaccinated which was a pretty funny experience!  We went down to this random race car track in Queretaro.  And there was this MASSIVE line of people.  Think of Disney, then times it by ten!  So we all file into this huge garage and there are hundreds of chairs.  Then we all took a seat in these rows.  Then a bunch of nurses got ready with shots in their hands and someone on a loudspeaker says in Spanish, "Ok ready . . .GO!"  Then this mariachi music starts BLASTING and the nurses go up and down the rows vaccinating everyone.  It was crazy!  Then, after waiting for 15 minutes they told us to stand up and said, "Ok, now we need you to move your arms around so we are going to do the MACARENA!"  Everyone starts clapping and then dancing the Macarena!  All of us missionaries were dying laughing!  The nurses, patients, everyone were going crazy dancing the Macarena!  It was so funny!  We had transfers last Monday and I'm staying here but we got a lot of new missionaries so that's exciting.  

There is a verse in Romans that has helped me a ton this week.  It's Romans 12:10-12  "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer."  I want everyone to know that my testimony has grown a ton being here.  I like the safe feeling that I have being out here on my mission.  I love Joseph Smith and I also have a stronger testimony of prayer.  Prayer is super important to have a relationship with God.  You can ALWAYS pray to Him, whenever you want.  Even when nobody else is there, He will always be there to listen to you.  Just pour out your heart because He is the best listener.  Thank you all for reading this.  Please email me :)  I attached some photos this time too!

I love you all!

The Home Stretch Starts . . .

July 28, 2022  The home stretch starts . . . Hey fam and friends! It's been a while! I've had some really interesting experiences this past week with our investigators and seeing the Lord's hand in His work. We received a new mission president!!! President Stapley and his wife are amazing and I'm looking forward to having a great time working with them. I found out they know my aunt and uncle because they live in California. I'm gonna have to catch up on some other stuff too since the last time I wrote. I got a new backpack, but I still haven't gotten any scriptures as I have no way of getting new ones, nor do I know how to get any. But I should be getting some new ones from the offices soon. On the 4th of July, we went to Guanajuato capital again! It was like I was on vacation and we were all tourists haha. I only have 6 months left!!! I hit 18 months on August 2. I would say it went by fast, but honestly it felt exactly like a year and a half. To the dot. A f...

Life in Irapuato

Hey Everyone, Honestly I've been super busy and I am sorry for not writing many emails, but I feel happy inside knowing that I get to experience all the things that I'm experiencing out here in the field, right in the heart of Mexico. There are so many things that happen, I can't take pictures of it all. I just take it in. However, I do have some pictures and that's mostly what I'll be sharing today. We got to have a conference with Elder Ochoa of the Seventy. He and his wife gave amazing talks and we felt the spirit there really strongly. My comp and I went on some adventures last pday. We slept on the roof one day and then watched the sunrise, it was a little cold but beautiful. I've always wanted to go to this big crater in our area, so we finally did. After that, we decided to hike another one and hiked to the top of a small mountain. It was like the most fun thing I've done in months. On the 15th and 16, all of Mexico celebrated their día de Independenc...

Celaya Zone Conference

May 26, 2021 Ola Everyone - Last Monday for P-Day was so awesome!  We went to Dolores Hidalgo.   We played some street soccer.  We found a random neighborhood court and there were all these freakin'  kids who were like 10 years old.  They were just kickin' my bum at soccer!  They were crazy good!  I kept fouling people but it was street soccer so it doesn't matter ha ha!  Oh, I also caught this bird!  I found a pigeon on the road and we brought it home to the apartment and we fed it.  it was kinda fun--but we left it at the other missionary's home ha ha!  And yes, Mom . . . I washed my hands :) This week we kept teaching this lady named Veronica and Hermana Monces.  They keep feeding us which is SUPER nice!  Friday was our Zone Conference!  I got to see my mission president and a bunch of other missionaries in the Celaya Zone which was AMAZING!  I love my president so much! He is seriously the cool...
