Subject: The Lord Will Magnify


Buenosss diasss fam and friends...

First off wanna say thanks to all the people that sent stuff for my birthday, I appreciate it a ton 🥲 I'm pretty sure the packages got sent like 2 months ago but they finally arrived haha so just wanted to say thanks to everybody 😂

This week was a very interesting one, we started it off doing zone council and it went pretty good. Then the next day we had a meeting called MLC and we went to the mission offices to go over some accomplishments of the mission and talk about our goals for the upcoming transfer and some other stuff. Then we had exchanges with the elders from Ataco, I went with Elder Segura and we had a really good time. We also had a few calls and meetings in person with the leaders of the stake, so it was just a very meeting-filled week, it was a little boring haha but also cool to see all the planning and coordination that goes on behind the scenes.

This week was a little up and down, its been a very big change and I'm still trying to get adjusted to it. It feels like right when I'm starting to get just a little comfortable with where I am they got to change everything up again. There were multiple points this week that I felt very inadequate, especifically with the new responsibilities I have, and it can be a little discouraging when you feel like you were in your groove and everything was going great and then theres changes and you almost feel like you've been downgraded just cuz you're not used to your new situation. My dad sent me a quote from President Eyring that I liked a lot, if theres anyone that might be struggling to live up to expectations I hope this can help you:

"There will be times when you will feel overwhelmed. One of the ways you will be attacked is with the feeling that you are inadequate. Well, you are inadequate to answer a call to represent God with only your own powers. But you have access to more than your natural capacities, and you do not work alone.

The Lord will magnify what you say and what you do in the eyes of the people you serve. He will send the Holy Ghost to manifest to them that what you spoke was true. What you say and do will carry hope and give direction to people far beyond your natural abilities and your own understanding. That miracle has been a mark of the Lord’s Church in every dispensation. It is so much a part of your call that you may begin to take it for granted."

I'm realizing that I need to focus less on myself, my own faults, and my own shortcomings, and focus more on the Lord and His power and His plan. It's still hard to have that perspective at all times, but when I remember what the Lord can do and what he's done for me, it helps me to get out of my head and have faith for the future.

We saw a few miracles in the past few days, yesterday we found a dude thats absolutely an escogido, says he's been looking for a sense of belonging and trying to get closer to God, and he's also ALREADY MARRIED! Nobodys married in this country haha so that was a super awesome find. And then with our friend Israel he was finally able to get consent from his mom to get baptized so he should be having his baptism pretty soon

Trust in the Lord, hope everyones doing great and let me know how youve been

-Elder Trujillo

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...

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...
