Monday May 25, 2026 Subject: A Ton of Change // Salud Nahuizalco 🥲 Happy mondayyyy everybodyyy... Man this week was nuts... I thought I was 100% staying in Nahuizalco with my hijo Elder Raxá to finish his training, but Tuesday we got news I was leaving... ☀️ Nahuizalco ☀️ Man it was so hard to leave Nahuizalco, I love that place. I spent about 5 months there and I will never forget all the good times we had and how much I was able to grow there. We were able to see a lot of success and at the same time plant a lot seeds, it was such a beautiful area with so many great people. The farewell visits with the recent converts and members were really sad but also super spiritual. Saying goodbye was really hard, but it was super beautiful to see how we were able to bring the gospel to a lot of people's lives. The Changes: I got sent to this place called Ausoles to be zone leader with my new comp Elder King, the first english-speaking comp I've ever had in the mission field!! After goi...

Monday May 18, 2026 Subject: Know Ye Not That Ye Are in the Hands of God? 📖 Xiomara and Lisandro's baptisms!! 😁🥳 I dont feel like writing a ton so I'm gonna make this one quick... It was a super awesome week, we were able to find a bunch of new friends and then we had an awesome Sunday. Our friend Xiomara got baptized in the morning, and then our friend Lisandro got baptized Sunday night 🤯 it's honestly insane all the miracles we've seen recently, there is no doubt that this is the Lord's work. The 2 have very different stories, Xiomara we found very recently just talking in the street at the beginning of this transfer, and with Lisandro he was already in teaching 5 months ago when I got to this area and he's been wanting to get baptized for a while but couldn't get the approval of both of his parents, but yesterday he turned 18 and was able to make his own decision. Even though his parents hadn't let him get baptized earlier, they both showed up to ...

Monday May 11, 2026 Subject:  Mother's Day Baptism 🥳🌊👩 Que tal everybodyyy?? First off, I wanna wish a happy mothers day to everybody, especially to the #1 mom on the planet, my mom Michelle Trujillo. I would not be here on the mission or who I am without her and and her relentless efforts to keep us on the path, always inviting and reminding us to read our scriptures, say our prayers, make time for God, and to just be good people in general. Every good habit I now have, is thanks to my mom, my dad, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I also wanna say happy mothers day to my grandmas, aunts, and all the other moms that see this email, you're all a lot better than I am. We were very blessed this week, yesterday our friend Kathy was able to make her first covenant with God and be baptized. During her baptism all the youth sang a special number for her and it was really cool to see cuz a bunch of them were youth that just recently got baptized or are preparing to get baptized. We f...

Tuesday May 5, 2026 Subject:  BAUTISMO DE ALEXANDER 🌊🥳 Wasssupppp family and friends It was another super sweet week out here in this beautiful country of El Salvador. I dont remember a ton of what happened but I just remember it was a super lit week. Saturday (May 2nd) our friend Alexander got baptized, he's such a smart and faithful dude and it's been inspiring to see his progress over the past month. He really came to understand the importance of baptism and is now preparing to get the priesthood and his temple recommend, possibly as early as this Sunday. And the coolest part is that he got baptized on May 2nd, the exact same day I got baptized but just 11 years ago 🤯 Wednesday we went to visit la familia Cortez, the family of our friends Karen, Maryorie and Cristian that got baptized recently, and when we got to their house one of the first things they told us was that they were getting kicked out of their house and that theyd be moving in a few days. Man that was really...
