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 found Kathy at the beginning of last month and seeing her faith and commitment throughout this whole time has been very inspiring.

We were also able to set a baptismal date with our friend Xiomara, and she wants to get baptized this sunday!! She's also a young woman, same age as Kathy, and she's super elect. When we showed up to her house about a week ago we saw that she was watching the Joseph Smith Restoration movie, and our jaws almost hit the floor, cuz we hadnt even invited her to do that and she had done it of a her own free will and choice haha. And then another day we showed up and she showed us that she had written a verse-by-verse summary of the Book of Mormon reading we had left her... like for each and every verse of the reading she had written out a summary for it haha. Then we talked with her dad a few times and he says he's supportive and gave us his signature, so everything should be good to go for this upcoming Sunday

This week was a little hard at certain points just cuz I feel like even though we're having a ton of success, I havent been as grateful as I should be, cuz we always have the mentality of wanting more and trying to help us many people as we can, but I also want to get better at living in the present and being grateful for all the blessings the Lord has given us

Hope everyones doing awesome and let me know whats up!

-Elder Trujillo


Alma 56:47-48
"47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.

48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it."

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...
