Helloooo wassupp everybody

Hows everyones summer going?? Its insane to think its summer, I cant tell the seasons at all over here, it feels like its all the same haha

The week before this one was pretty terrible and honestly pretty disappointing as far as visible results go, we didnt have any friends at church on sunday, something I havent had in a very very long time, and after church we said thats enough, we're never gonna let that happen again. I'm honestly grateful we didnt have any friends at church that sunday cuz it gave us the wakeup call we needed and lit a fire in us.

So we went out sunday afternoon hungry and just with pura fe and talking with everyone and every day of the week we would find one positive person and then another and another. We didnt make any crazy changes, we just upped the faith. I read a verse I like a lot in Romans 10:17 that says, 

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"

For me this verse is crazy true... when I hear the word of God I feel the Spirit, my faith is increased, I'm motivated to get to work, and all that takes place because the scriptures and the Spirit remind me of the importance and the truthfulness of the work. And when I remember how important and how true the work is, it helps us do everything we would be doing anyways but just with more faith and more purpose. 

Its almost like the same effect that watching MJ or Lebron highlights or listening to hype music has before a game or a workout, it gets you in the right mindset, it motivates you, and it helps you to start to get moving.
 
So to sum up, read and listen to the word of God (the Book of Mormon, the Bible, talks from the Lord's servants...) with real intent, and do it until your mind starts to expand and you feel the Spirit and those "swelling motions" that Alma talks about. And then just get to work.

And so this week was a lot more successful, we found a bunch of new people and a few of them (our friends Orlando, Froylan, and Fernanda) were able to come with us to church this sunday, and now we have the potential of a lot more of then coming with us for this upcoming sunday.

This emails getting crazy long but congrats if you read it all, hope everyones doing awesome!!

Talking more about the power of the word of God, Hebrews 4:12 says that, "the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"

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...
