BAUTISMO DE ALEXANDER 🌊🥳

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 hard to hear I almost cried. They have such a hard life and work so much and they still can't get ends to meet. And after hearing the news I was just super worried about how they were gonna be able to keep progressing and stay active, because they just barely joined the church and were just starting to become good friends with the rest of the members. 

And then on Friday we went back to visit them thinking that it might be one of the last times that we would see them, and they said they talked with the owner of the land and said they would still be here for the next 3 months at least 🥳 and we also brought some members from the ward to the visit and we dedicated the house which was a super spiritual experience, and then the members also said they're gonna help the family with some paperwork stuff and they're pretty confident that they can save the land and help them to live their permanently 🤞 and then the coolest part was that Karen and Maryorie were still able to get interviewed this Saturday and now have their temple recommends!!

And I almost forgot haha but with our friend Alexander's baptism this week, we pulled up to the chapel and gave him his baptismal clothes and told him to get changed, and he went into the bathroom stall and told us it didnt fit it was too small. At that point I sas just like "Aww fetchhh man we really screwed up this time..." That was our bad we shouldve had him try on the clothes beforehand...✋️😔 and then some members run back to their house to go grab some bigger pants for him and they come back and he tries them on and... they dont fit either!! 😂 and then they go back out looking for even bigger pants and find the biggest size they can and come all the way back to the church and then finally these ones fit him haha. The baptism ended up getting postponed by like 45 minutes but at the end of the day he got baptized so thats all that matters haha...

A bunch of other things happened this week but another highlight was that pur friend Kathy's mom gave us her signature and approval her daughter's baptism so she's gonna be getting baptized this next Sunday which is a huge miracle... oh also I turned 19 this past week so thats super crazy

Hope everyones doing great have an awesome week and let me know whats up!!

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...
