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 going from a Peruvian to a Dominican to a Guatemalan to a Ecuadorian to a Guatemalan again, the streak has finally ended 🥲 it's also the first time I've left the Zona Juayua, I had spent my whole mission in that same zone and I never thought I'd leave but it finally happened 😂. 

I'm in a 4-elder house now just like my last one, but this time instead of being the elder with the most time on the mission I'm now the youngest which has been a weird switchup haha. I didnt realize how insanely hot Nahuizalco was until I left it, cuz everyone says theyre dying in the heat here in my new area, but compared to Nahuizalco it feels like heaven haha. The area's pretty small, unlike all the other areas I've been in, so its definitely gonna take some getting used to but theres plenty of potential and a lot of good members.

As far as the work goes in my new area Ausoles, we set a baptismal date with our friend Cristian that got found at the beginning of this week and he showed up to church for the first time yesterday so that was lit. We almost dont have anyone in teaching 

Promise i'll start writing more interesting emails, dont really got time today cuz we're spending most of our p-day planning for zone council tomorrow and some other meetings so thats fun haha 🥲...

Love you all hope everyones doing awesome

A Lot of Rain ☂️

Monday, September 1, 2025 Subject: A Lot of Rain ☂️  Wassup everybody, It was a solid week, went by super fast but also super slow haha. We had a ton of rain this week, and when it rains in El Salvador it RAINS. The streets straight up turn into rivers and everyone goes into their houses because it's pretty dangerous. I think it was like Wednesday or Thursday, but we were way up in the mountains around San Juan, it was like 6:30 and already getting dark, and the rain was coming down super hard. We were waiting on the side of the road until a pickup came, and we got into the back of it and started driving down the mountain and going into the rain at like 40 mph.  It was like a 15 minute ride of just getting absolutely pelted by the rain, it was so bad haha. I had a little umbrella that I was holding like a shield in the back of the pickup but it didn't help at all, it was getting bent in from the wind and rain and we got completely soaked. My comp had a jacket but it didn't ...

Buenos Dias

Monday October 6, 2025 Subject: Buenos dias  Qué tal everybody A decent week, not the best but we keep working. Me and my companion Elder Delgado have been sick this week and so we've been having to give everything just to get through the day so thats been the main thing thats made this week more difficult than usual. We got our water back for a couple days but once again its out, so that's nice haha. We have 3 people on date for baptism right now, and we'll see if they all go through. I feel pretty confident with our plans to baptize our friend Matias this upcoming sunday but the two others have slightly bigger problems that might take some extra weeks, but we're gonna do our best to help them out. Conference was super awesome and inspiring. I really liked Elder Uchtdorfs, Elder Hollands, and Elder Kevin G Browns talks. Go back and listen to those 3 if you can. The member of the Seventy from Louisiana also had a super sick voice haha.  I'm sad we won't get to s...

Tio Vaca Baptism!!

Monday August 18, 2025 Subject:  Tio Vaca Baptism!! Cómo estamos everybody..... Another great week a lot of stuff happened its hard to remember haha. Got my first baptism this past sunday (besides my lil bro JJ of course haha), it was a super cool experience. It was our friend Jonathan Amaya (everyone calls him Tio Vaca and I have no idea why haha). He's 18 and he's basically been an eternal investigator up until this point, he's had a ton of friends in the church for the past 10+ years but he finally decided to get baptized it was so cool to see the entire ward show up for his baptism and I'm so happy for my man. I also had to give a talk on sunday it actually went great and was a big confidence boost for my spanish. We had intercambios (exchanges) 2 times this past week, on tuesday I went with Elder Reyes to Las Colinas and then thursday with Elder Buehner to Las Orquidias. It was cool to work in other areas for a day and learn from other elders, but it was a little a...
