WE'RE GOING TO GREENLAND

 WELL EVERYONE!! TWAS ONE GOOD WEEK!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO REBEKA! A lot of lessons fell through, but God is good! 

We met with our friend Christopher on Monday, and he really wants to learn his purpose, so we explained the plan of Salvation to him and then HE ACCEPTED A BAPTISMAL DATE FOR DEC 11!! He has eye surgery this week to, so everyone pray for him!! 

We had an exchange with Wesley chapel, so I got to leave the area this week, and man, that was a nice area and a nice apartment. We ended up walking around meeting members in the complex since we had to stay in and do some calls at the apartment. I was going stir crazy, I need to see more than one room, lol. Hanging with Elder Beal and Elder Carlile was super fun though!! 

Then we taught our friend Eric! HE'S DOING SO WELL!!! He's reading the book of mormon so much, and gets lost for like 3 hours at a time in the Book of mormon and loves it. He's a little scared of committing to a firm date, but he recognizes all of the answers to his prayers, so everyone prayer for him! 

We had our zone conference this week, and Elder Thacker, The STL's and I led a 55 minute council on conversion. It was super fun! And to quote Elder Wright's Trainee zone conference is, "FREAKING HYPE" after that, Elder Thacker got real sick, and so that night wasn't super productive, but a member brought us homemade ribs and mashed potatoes that night, so THAT WAS GOOD!! 

FRIDAY WAS PRESIDENT NELSON'S MESSAGE!! I hope everyone has been giving thanks on social media!! We also ended up at a real interesting apartment complex and met Becky. Basically, the end of that, is that the cure for Covid is in Greenland, and yeah. 

Saturday, WE MOVED OUT OF OUR APARTMENT. We had no AC and it had been trashed so they moved us into a new complex and let me tell ya, the new apartments, ARE NICE!! I'm definitely a fan of them!! We had a lot of lessons fall through but we helped a recent convert named Heynar learn the sacrament prayers and we had an AFRICAN PASTOR CALL US FROM KENYA!! He had seen the content on our finding Jesus christ in Tampa page and wants to learn more.

On Sunday, PASTOR THOMAS CAME TO CHURCH!! THAT WAS AWESOME!! (Over zoom, remember, he lives in Kenya) and we have a lesson with him tomorrow!! We had a lesson with some members that gave us trader Joe's dark chocolate peanut butter cups! THAT WAS AMAZING!!

This week, the theme is gratitude of course. I'm grateful for all of you. For every person that has ever been in my life!! You all have made such an impact on me! I'm grateful that Jesus Christ lives that "there is a resurrection, and therefore the grave hath no victory and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ" Mosiah 16:8. I'm grateful that I can live with my family forever. I'm grateful that our Heavenly Parents love us, they know each of us by name and they care and love for each of us perfectly! I'm so grateful for each day and for this amazing world that we have! I invite each of you, to say a gratitude to prayer. To get on your knees and think of every thing from the biggest blessings, to the smallest tender mercies and thank God for them! I can promise that God is grateful for you and loves you!!

-Ama a toda persona y a toda cosa

Se explotó la carpeta de area.  HAD INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT!!!! Haven't had that happen since I got here, so it was good to talk to him.

HOPPY PASCUAS A TODOS QUE LEEN ESTA CARTA Y LOS DEMAS!!! ESPERO QUE DISFRTUARAN SU FIN DE SEMANA CON LOS PROFETAS Y APOSTOLES!!!!! This week was definitely was an interesting one, where do I start We had interviews this week, but my companion and I didn't get them, because we had to go to Glew for a stake meeting, and the Elders before us went too long. So instead we did some roleplays of the restoration of the gospel, and then the assistants drove us to Glew, where we listened to a big ol stake meeting. We then spent the night with the Glew Elders, ELDER SOSA Y ELDER BLACKHAM!!!!  We had our first english class this week, so that was exciting. I got to teach english to all the people in my district, so that's an exciting time. Let me tell ya, I do not know how to teach english. I'll do my best. Some latinos already speak a lot and others don't know a single word, so you make due. Everyone is ready to learn though! We met our friend Juan Diaz this week. He's absolut...

We put both of them on date, and both are loving the book of mormon and got permission from their parents, MIRACLES!!!! AND BOTH OF THEM CAME TO CHURCH, YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!! We had zone conference, and it was powerful! Elder Thacker and I gave a training on being a 'Preach My Gospel' missionary. I loved it! Then President spoke all about the atonement, because that is our central doctrine. EVERYTHING revolves around the atonement, without it, we are lost in our fallen and mortal state.  WE HAD AN AWESOME LESSON WITH ERIC!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT BISHOP PATEL JOINED IN AND IT WAS POWERFUL. We talked about how sometimes, God only gives us what we need at the moment, and not everything can or wil...
