  Hello peoplleeeee Well this is it. It's been 2 years and 10 days. I'll be released next Wednesday, and return home Sunday the 16th. My REAL final message apart from this little email will be given in-person at a sacrament meeting on March 9th. Yall better show up. Anyways here is my final testimony in papers before ya get my final testimony in-person: Id just like to say that being called to represent the Lord and His church to God's children has been the most rewarding and growth inducing experience in my life. I am so glad that God trusts his kids to do such important things.  I know that Jesus Christ is God's son. I know that through his atonement He has the power to save us. His Gospel is how we access that saving power. I testify that Jesus Christ's gospel, although lost for many years, has been restored by the prophet Joseph Smith, who was called by Jesus Christ. I testify that the Book of Mormon is God's word to a branch of Israel and that their words h...

Hit the hyperdrive Chewy.

  This title is because the last 7 months have gone by lightspeed. Or as Jacob would say: "The time passed away with us, and also our lives passed away like as it were unto us a dream."  Sorry I have not sent anything nor responded to anyone in this time. I blame it slightly upon the business of office pdays. I cannot say nay even in the least part, the amount of things that happened while assigned to serve as general secretary in the mission office.  Lots of random things like being sent to open a safe in president's house at 9:30AM while he is speaking in conference, minutes before a missionary has to leave to catch his flight. Sending house keys to missionaries at 9PM who are locked outside. Temple trips. But probably the biggest sándwich to swallow was transfers.  It means looking at 2 transfer boards of where every missionary is currently at, and one of where they all need to get to, and then creating a document to align (for example, in October it was:) 14 bus ...

finishing the final mission temple trip wit da bois:   Hello people. I've been living here for about a year and a half now. I don't know how many of you still survive seeing these emails but if you do le felicito. I accidentally sat down and wrote way too much this week so sorry for the long email. Today in the office work we´re sending home all the hermanas from my generation of missionaries. H. Lindsay asked me how I felt that they were all going home now and I still gotta be here for another 6 months. That was pretty savage of her but alright.  Jaja no but honestly it is super cool. One of my favorite phrases I've heard from President Choy recently about our missionary service is: "We are Just. Getting. Started." A long spiritual thought... Right now as missionaries, we just show up here as high school kids and as for our knowledge and testimony of the impact of the doctrine of Christ, many times we´re like little newborn kittens just barely starting to open ...

  Hey everyone! Here's the update for this week: First week in the office we had 3 zone conferences. Tender mercy there was on the drive over to Ahuachapán for the final conference, we happened to drive by my old area Casa Blanca, and we happened to drive by right where Daniela works so I got to wave hi over at her the day before she got married with Samuel. And then they got BAPTIZED SUNDAY YEEEAHHHHH  Theres also a tropical storm hitting the country right now thats gonna make it keep raining hard for the next week. So the El Salvador president called off school for the week, and the area presidency asked us to try not and go outside for the next couple days. Today we got to send some busses over to bring one of the zones to a different city because they lost power and water in one part of the mission. If I learned anything from American quarantine we should probably head out and buy all the toilet paper in the town. Someone I gotta introduce you to is a man named Lazaró...

Take me down to the Paradise City

  Hello mis amigos It's been a long time. I don't have time to tell everything going on but to sum up I got transferred from Casa Blanca to Paraiso. Im now gunna be trained to be the general secretary of the mission yeeeeahhhhhh 7 years of online school bout to come in handy with a lot of computer stuff. I got to leave Casa Blanca with 3 weddings being planned along with baptisms for those people which was super super cool to be a part of. Never had a wedding in my mission and for some reason this area just had a LOT that needed to be done with weddings. So I'm ready to be a wedding planner when I get back. I think that all mightve happened because the Lord saw I wasnt going to be able to be there when my older brother got married, so he just sent a bunch of weddings to plan here haha One of them is the Familia Coc who I talked about last email. They're all ready to be baptised, hno Coc already proposed to his wife Yanira and everything, they're just in the legal pr...
