Let’s Go On A Field Trip!

Hi friends!


Sorry for the delay with the email! We've been helping out with the San Pedro Sula Temple open house every day, and last Saturday we stayed there to help out with the crazy 11500 person crowd instead of having P-Day. We got permission to push p-day back to today though, so now you get to hear from me!

This past week has been fun and crazy and it has not gone according to plan, but it's been amazing at the same time.

First: To report on Secretary stuff we did this week:
 - I made missionary work reports to send to the stake presidents, and then I cleaned up the documents so they're ready for next month.
 - I spent a bunch of time preparing phones for new missionaries, and organizing the stock of emergency phones we have.
 - I helped make the quincena video where I got destroyed by money
 - Helped out with several emergency transfers that we had to do
 - Helped Elder Muñoz go grocery shopping for the temple open house
 - We helped the temple open house go well

Second: To report on Missionary stuff we did this week:
 - We had an awesome Mission Coordination meeting where we coordinated how the members will help us teach this next week
 - We went through the temple with our friends (it's so pretty!)
 - We had an awesome day where we had a ton of lessons and invited a ton of people to the open house
 - We invited literally every Uber driver to the temple open house

This week has been fun and busy, and we're all happy to have a day of rest because we're exhausted!

Elder Griffin, the next financial secretary came in this week, so we have a new friend in the house!

Elder Muñoz got sick (but now he's feeling better!)

I got to see a ton of friends from my previous areas! 

There were two holidays this week! We got to eat cake!

I've been listening to a bunch of talks by Russell M. Nelson and they're super insightful! (Happy Birthday President!)

Okay. I'm starting to run out of things to say, so I'm going to end it off here.  Thank you so much for reading and have a great week! I love you guys so much!

Your Holiday, Not Our Holiday!

Hi friends! This is my first mission email, and wow. I'm here! I've spent 18 years wondering if I would go on a mission, and now I am on my first week! This week I was at home doing online MTC, and I will be in the Mexico MTC (the CCM) by the end of next week. That might also mean that my P-day will be on a different day next week. Anyways, I will try to keep you all updated as often as I can. Sunday I was set apart as a missionary today. I was able to have my immediate family members as well as some grandparents be with me as I became an official missionary. Monday First day of my mission! For some reason this day took two weeks to complete, and it was TERRIFYING. It is a big jump going from few responsibilities to many responsibilities, and I have no idea what's going on.  I was able to meet my first companion - Elder Cushing - today. He is from Murray, Utah and will be going to El Salvador for his mission. I am very excited to get to know him and spend time with him for ...

When Grandparent's Day And Children's Day Collide...

Hi friends!!! Welp, I've now downloaded more general conference talks than I know what to do with. Do you guys think I'll be able to read every talk from 1995 to now during my mission?  I'm currently working my way backwards, starting from this last general conference and going back in time. At the time of writing this email I am ~40% of the way through the October 2022 general conference. At this time I'm not putting much focus into the general conference talks, instead focusing more on learning and memorizing Book of Mormon scriptures because that is the resource I will use most for teaching. During personal study I focus on the lessons and the doctrine (Preach my Gospel and the Scriptures), and outside of personal study I check out new resources and delve into topics I'm interested in. I've been listening to some BYU speeches that my companion gave me, and some of them are really wonderful to listen to. Some talks I've already listened to multiple times e...

Goodbye Forest

Hi friends! I don't have much time to talk because I'm busy packing up my stuff!  That's right friends! I'm outta here! This forest is terrible and I don't like it, so I'm skedadling to another part of Honduras (hopefully a part with less trees) All jokes though (well, besides leaving the area)! I've loved my time in El Bosque and it's been a crazy 4 weeks climbing one mountain to the next dodging mosquitos and mototaxis and baptizing like crazy with Elder Sopon! They've been chaotic, stressful, and fun, but duty is calling me to new places! Now some of you may be saying ... wait a minute! a transfer is 6 weeks, but you've only been here for 4! You are correct, but I've been given a special assignment from the president, and have to leave now. So while it's bittersweet to leave an area so soon after getting there, it is what it is.  After being in two areas for 6 months each, it's a big contrast to only be in an area for 4 weeks. Now ...
