More miracles:), and we got broken up with. :(

Somehow another week has gone by, the weeks seriously fly by on the mission it's kinda crazy. This week much happened and we had many miracles given to us. We seriously see miracles everysingle day in direct answers to our prayers. I read a really cool talk by Thomas S Monson this week all about praying to be a tool in the lords hands in helping others. He shared many experiences in his life where he followed the spirit and was able to change peoples lives. This whole week i wanted to follow his example and prayed daily to be a tool in the Lords hands to help others and help lighten their load. This week we had many opportunities to help others and in many ways were able to "lighten their load" by following the spirit and Gods perfect timing of everything we were able to run into the right people at the right time. It was really cool to be able to pray for something and so readily receiving an answer when it is for the helping of others and glorying God. It showed me a different perspective on prayer and its uses, very cool experiences.

Sandly we also got broken up with (dropped) by one of our best investigators. It was honestly pretty sad he just called us out of the blue like an hour before we were planning on visiting him and just said that hes too busy and that hes wasting his time with us, but hes an old guy who does nothing so something probably happened. He told us it wasn't us but that it was him, he legit broke up with us. It's too bad because this man was coming to church, reading and praying but got lead away by that mist of darkness of doubts and temptations, but! We shall not give up on him we know the lord has not. We plan on following up later this week so i will update everyone next week but keep Rafael in your prays and also Raul!

This next week it the last week of my training then we have transfers. I'm pretty excited to see where I end up and with whom but it's all in the will of the Lord.

We had a really good week and had some awesome studies it's awesome being able to read in the scriptures with so much intent and the spirits guidance everyday! I hope everyone else had a good week and I'm always open to people emailing me about their studies or anything they need! Thanks to all those who do write and the love and prayers you all give me. Have an awesome week.

The miracle of Golf

Dear family and friends, We had a really great week this past week! We worked really hard and made a ton of contacts with people in our area and saw a lot of cool tender mercies and miracles! Elder Torgerson and I have been trying out a new style of contacting this past week and it's been really awesome. We put a different contact in for every 15 minute period during our day. Some take longer, some are shorter but it allows us to get in with some people we have not seen for quite a while. This past week we also went golfing with Tommyee's husband David. We got special permission from our mission President to go and play with him! As many of you may know I love to Golf and so does David so it worked out and we went and played 18 holes at the course in their neighborhood. It was the first time in my life that I've actually played 18 holes and it took a lot longer than we had anticipated it was going to. We were diligent that as soon as we got done we changed and went to ...

Last Haul

Well I'm pushing into the last week of my mission. It is hard to believe that this really is the end. It doesn't feel all too different from everything else that I've done these last 14 months, it just feels like the end of another transfer. I would be lying if I said I was not looking forward to seeing family and friends, some of which I have not seen for nearly 3 years which is crazy to think about. I have cherished the time I've had to serve as a missionary and I'm super grateful that I was able to return to be a full time missionary despite the obstacle of the pandemic. I welcome what comes next and I really don't have too much of an idea as to what lies ahead of me at this point. There is a lot that still is up in the air but I know that the Lord will provide. This past week was good. Fairly normal. We were able to teach some lessons. Meet some new people. Share the gospel with others and we had some great meals provided for us. We actually had the oppo...

Ya me voy

Dear family and friends, I received news this past saturday that I will be leaving Sahuarita and Elder Mortenson and heading back up to Tucson. We have 4 tucson zones in the mission and this will be the last one I need to serve in, east zone. I'm excited to for the change and am very optimistic about the area! I was only here for 6 weeks in this area and with elder Mortenson during his training so it will be sad to leave it all behind. This has been one of my most challenging transfers of my mission thus far and the Lord really refined and humbled me in the process, he has a way of doing that to us. I have never pleaded more for heavenly help for something beyond my own personal needs than I have in this past transfer. It truly brought me down to the lowest depth of humility and made me stand back multiple times and say, "I dont know what to do, take my hand and guide me." Each time that I was humble enough to utter that phrase the Lord guided everytime, sometimes it wa...
