Soy Papa

Buenas,

Que tal, como estamos?

So if you read my last email I was talking about cambios(transfers) and some of you may already know that I'm a dad now!!!😁😁 Don't worry that just means I'm a trainer. Super exciting but at the same time realizing how much more I can improve as a missionary when I have to lead and so pretty much everything the next month or two until he gets his feet on the ground. His name is Elder Petty, super chill guy from Las Vegas.


Honestly super fun week, trying to teach him the ropes really quick, working hard and having fun finding and helping people. Then we had conference on Saturday and Sunday. Did my best to understand all in Spanish and Id say when I payed attention I understood but lets just say that's not the easiest for two hours straight in a different language.

It was crazy Sunday morning we went pretty far to get this one girl then went and got another who grabbed 2 of her cousins, but of course they took forever so we ended up being 20 minutes late, but hopefully they learned something at least.


One more cool thing is I'm not gonna be illegal anymore!😁 I'm going to Mexico City on Wednesday to get my beige card basically my 1 year residency card. Been over 3 months of being illegal, so hopefully we gonna be staying here for good.

One thing I learned from conference was from Ronald A Rasband and Ill be honest since I was listening in Spanish I'm hoping I understood it mas o menos, but something about how we cant have problems that are more important than the people we love, and what I think is loving others helping others is some of the best things we can do on this Earth.


 I challenge all of you to do one act of kindness everyday, no matter how bad of a day it may be.

First week at the Mexico city MTC

  Hey everyone!  I just finished my first week at the Mexico city MTC , prior to that I had two weeks of online training. Nothing crazy happened on the flight here, although both my big suitcases have a broken wheel so gotta fix that soon. The first night was rough, dogs were barking like crazy and police cars sirens were going off all night. The second day we were here my companion Elder Bowen was assigned as District Leader so Elder Foley and I ( we are in a trio- 3 elders) were made house leaders. Basically what that means is Elder Bowen is in charge of any meeting we have in our district, which consists of us 3 elders and 7 hermanas (sisters). For Elder Foley and I it just means we get to run a devotional at our house with about 20 elders once or twice a week.  The food... it started off questionable, first night was pizza which was alright then it was good with tacos almost everyday rotating different types of meat. One day it was a mix of sausage, pepperoni and some...

Hey everyone! This week went by so fast. A lot of things have happened. Second week done at the Mexico City MTC. A lot of learning and eating. We have two classes that are 3 hours each most days and now they are both in Spanish. We are now supposed to talk in only Spanish as well. It's been cool so far although we haven't talked only in Spanish but a good amount. Some highlights. My companions and I started going to the gym for like 15 to 20 minutes each day before we play basketball or pickleball. That's been super fun, especially basketball, we get about 50 minutes each day to exercise in any way we like and it's great. Each Wednesday for us is preparation day and that's today, I get to write emails call home and today go to the temple visitor center, next week the temple will open and that is really exciting that we will get to go. Besides that I have time to do laundry and play whatever I like until 5 pm. On Monday all the missionaries from my week that are serv...

Hola Todos, Esta semana fue muy rápido. I love personal and language study so fun to do what I want and learn so much. Classes are fun as well I just prefer studying different topics. My Spanish has definitely improved, I can understand a lot more and can talk much better although conjugation while talking will take time to learn.  It was a great week, last Friday we introduced a new district of 12 sisters to our zone/branch, super chill people. Although every Friday and Wednesday we have to miss a good chunk of class as being zone leaders it's been great to meet all these people. That day on Friday we also taught a spanish lesson over zoom, the lady we taught was so nice and she even seemed like she had tears at the end. Not much happened on Saturday until Saturday night when about half of our casa got buzz cuts. So on sunday we had church and our meetings then after that I decided I would get one, shout out Elder Rasmussen he got me right. Unreal experience, so grateful to have e...
