 Hola, it´s been a month since I last sent an email so there´s a lot of stories but for a short recap, Elder Smith and I finished up our last transfer together in El Trebol with much walking yet much awesomeness and success. We were together for 3 months in total, and a week ago I was transferred to the area Suncuan, in the city of Ahuachapan, where I am now with Elder Chase. Alright on to the stories:


NO KIKI NO
Theres a really nice drunk dude who lives near us who always yells at us in his lil high pitched voice HOLA HERMANOS every time we go by. His name is Kiki and he´s the best. The other day we were walkin down the street and Kiki is next to a police car rubbing his hands all over the roof and hood and windows and he´s like "HOLA HERMANOS ESTOY LIMPIANDO EL CARRO" we were like "NO KIKI NO"
Kiki is now in prison
jk he´s fine we saw him this morning



Praying for Water
In El Trebol there was a few days we didn't have running water. One day I was tired of that and I prayed that we could have water in the house. After praying, I walked over to the kitchen sink and as soon as I turned it, we heard rain start on the roof. I turned it off and the rain let off. I laughed and pointed it out to Elder Smith, and then when I turned it again it started DUMPING. Elder smith was like "You prayed for the wrong thing. You prayed for water in the house and now WE GOT WATER ALRIGHT its just dumping into our laundry room" 
Apparently even Heavenly Father likes dad jokes.

Priesthood Blessings
I never heard before the mission about how many times you give priesthood blessings as a missionary, but man it is cool. It felt wrong to send out an email about one of those sacred experiences but I just felt like testifying that God personally knows every one of his children, and he loves them with a power beyond this world. He is eager to bless his children with his spirit, guidance, and miracles. You just need to faithfully turn towards him with an eye of belief and with actions of faith, and you will find God drawing near unto you.

Enos Prayer
One night I went to do my nightly prayer by my bed but I half fell asleep, but then woke up two hours later still kneeling upright by my bed at 12:30AM. Enos had buffer knees than me because ow.

Alright thats all I got time to write for now
ADIOS

  WazAp Return to El Trébol This week I went on exchanges with my dad Elder Hales. That on its own would be pretty whack. BUT they also moved the AP's area to El Trébol, so not only I was I with my first companion for a day, but we were in my first area where I got trained with him too. That was super crazy. It was crazy to see how much people's lives had changed in a few months. There was a different bishop and elders quorum president, my old friend Kelvin had best friends in the ward now, I got to go back and find some old investigators that had been positive and help the new Elders start teaching some of them again. We also ran into that one super old guy I helped build a fence for forever ago, and he ended up inviting us in to talk and share a message with him. (We're still on the same topic but it kinda needed a new title) Another crazy moment that day was seeing my friend Alex.(picture below) We found this 19yr old dude back in the day just knocking doors, and when we

Scared of Water

  Wazaaaaaap Update on life here: I'm about to complete 14 months in the mission. Three days ago I got transferred to the area Casa Blanca, where I got my new companion Elder Harward, who also just got to the area at the same time as me too. He's really great, he's from Rexburg Idaho/Provo Utah. Another cool thing is this is his first time being zone leader, and he has the exact same amount of time I had when I became one too. It's been a little crazy with both of us being new to the area, but we both have an eye of faith looking forward to good things to come. Probably for this email, I'll mostly just finish up some stories I never wrote from when I was in El Congo Waterphobia I know i've talked to my family when I call about the Lemus family, but I don't know if i've ever written about them here. But to make a long epic backstory short, the Lemus family was found when we knocked on a random door on our way out of a tiny colony in a corn field, and it e

My Journal for the last month. Wedding, baptisms, and Cockroaches

I really haven't had a lot of time to journal in the past weeks, so this email is kind of going to be my opportunity to journal down the most meaningful things for me in the last month while I have a computer for a few hours. Enjoy! Carlos and Sarai I think I told you guys about how on our 2nd day here we found a crazy guy on the street named Edwin who brought us over to his family. Well now we've found that his sister Roxanna is an inactive church member who was baptised when she was about 15, and stopped going when her daughter was born. She was converted when she was given a Book of Mormon and chose to try and read it even though she didn't know how to read before. But with that book Roxanna not only learned how to read, but she felt the spirit testify to her heart and mind the truthfulness of the gospel and was baptised!            Well anyways that was like 30 years ago, but now when we found her family thanks to Edwin, we started meeting with Roxanna's daughter, S
