5.28.18 Ester

                                                                                                                                              5.28.18

Yooooooo whats good fam,

This week was super sick! This week President was supposed to interview one of our investigators (Anabelle) for her baptism and what do ya know she forgot and "left" sooooo we got to spend a couple hours with president doing visits. Hes a super good guy. Fun fact: he holds his school record for hurdles that no one will ever beat? yeah he ran the 180 hurdles and they stopped doing the event when he held the record haha.  But if there was one thing I learned from divisions is that I have to be direct as possible with the people. We visited a less active/non member family and their son isnt a member so pres asked why he wasnt a member and he told Pres he had a dream from God that he was sitting with priests and the priests told him that "papas coming soon" so he should stick to Catholicism. Then he straight up told him that his dream was not revelation from God and he very respectfully explained why. So I learned you cant butter it up out here. Eternal Salvation is not something we should take lightly so we need to truly DECLARE repentance rather than only preach repentance.  Then at night he came to our house and said that it was too dangerous to live there YESSSSSSSS !!! and we needed to change houses asap so thats #lit.

       The other super sick thing that happened was when we were teaching an investigator named Ester. SHES SO SICK. Every single pamphlet weve left her . . . shes read it, and pretty much teaches us the lesson. then after our lesson with her literally all her family started talking to us. Her dad, mom, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and they ALL loved us. When we left shes said,  I want to go to chuch but i dont want to go alone, can we go together? So we passed by Sunday and she was ready and we walked together to church. We brought her to church and EVERYONE LOVED HER. A member invited her to a stake dance and she said Yes. Shes super awesome. after sacrament meeting she pretty much ditched us and went with other young women in the ward hahaha . We didnt see her until after the 3 hours of church. Shes so sick and its great to see themembers getting more involved.  She also really  likes memes so we have something else in common. 

      I dont have a ton of timeeee because IM MOVING!!! so that was the big highlight of the week. Ester's got a TON of potential and now that shes involved with the ward its only gonna get better!  love you all hope you had a good week!

5.21.18 A Rocky Right

Aye fam,

This week was super super cool. I dont have much time to write since we gotta go help a family move BUT. this week was super awesome! We got a call to do an exorcism, but when we got there to the house this daughter just was throwing a fit and she threw a Rocky right uppercut to her moms nose and broke it. Sooo the mom thought her daughter was possessed so called for an exorcism lol. Anyway the daughter wasnt possessed but has serious problems with depression. so we gave her a blessing, and she said  the blessing has helped her feel peace. We then met with them another day taught lesson with them, and they said that they'd like to be baptized as soon as possible. BUT they didnt make it  church. It's so hard sometimes,  that was a bummer. This week was pretty dry We found some good people but there is a super fine line between good people and prepared people but we just keep planting seeds.  anyway thats about it. love yall lots!!​

4.23.18 Divisions

Hey Family,

This week was rather uneventful. First I went on divisions in La Presa. This place is so sweet. Its pretty much a completely different land. The government put the army in the area because its apparently dangerous but it was so sick to be there. Its FULL of houses and everyone was super receptive. Literally we knocked a few doors and they lets us in and gave us coke while we taught a lesson. My area is literally students and grandmas.The students dont have time and the grandma are skeptical so they give us dirty looks. anyway, divisions with Elder Austill was sweet. He has like 19 months in the mish so he taught me some tips and tricks on how to keep the door open on contacts.

Next we had divisions with Elder Howell. hes a solid guy. definitely id crack a cold coke with him any day. He has 18 months in the mission and hes from Star Valley/Logan. His grandpa and grandpa Willden live close together in good ole Nibley. We had 2 lessons planned for the day so we literally contacted from 1 pm until 9 pm.  only 4 people opened their doors. And 3 were Grandmas. and all they wanted to talk about was Trump. 

ON the brighter side we set up 2 baptismal dates!!! One with Anebelle we put a date for the 12th of May!!!! and then we found this sweet dude named Alejandro and when he said the opening prayer, He prayed that he would be able to get baptized so he can enter Gods kingdom. My comp and I looked at each other and were like whattttttttttt. so we taught lesson 3 the Gospel of Jesus Christ and asked about baptism. This ones for the 27th of may because hes got some conflicts with school. 

It was a super solid week. I still have so much to learn but it all good.

love yall have a good week

Hey Fam,

Alll I gotta say is this area is super chill. We've gotta sams club, walmart, and a kfc in the area so you already know we livin lavish here, so many choices. Its honesty super sick. We had interviews this week and in the interview President told me that this areas numbers have taken a steep drop.  im talking 0 baptismal dates, 2 investigators progressing, and a thick area book filled  with old investigators. 2 days this week we used the area book to find people and what do ya know, almost every direction doesn't exists, so the missionary work here has practically died in the past 3 changes. The last baptism here was in november. so we've got our work cut out for us but I love a good challenge!.

The members are super awesome and want to be involved with the missionary work. One sister offered to have a family home evening at her house every friday with less actives or non members! sooo sick, this is such a blessing for missionaries.

This sunday was a sunday ill never forget!! It was fast and testimony meeting and a downs syndrome sister named Flower got up to share her testimony.the first thing she did was thank Elder Herrera and I for serving missions, Then she told us she was really sad she couldn't be a missionary, but she said just because she can't serve a mission doesn't mean she cant be a missionary. That hit me deep and I felt bad all the times i didn't share the gospel  with non members, or my testimony with less actives because I was scared. We should be grateful  Mormons and share the gospel not fearing what man can do (doctrine and covenants 30:11). Just because you don't have a name tag doesn't mean you're not a missionary. Missionary work has no expiration date. I know my Savior lives. The tomb was empty, he is risen. I'm grateful to share that message with all who will listen.

love you all

4.2.18 So long Cauatepec, hello Ticoman Lindavista

4.2.18

Well, I put in a good 6 months in Madero and now im taking my talents tooooooooo.  

TICOMAN LINDAVISTA. This area is super super cool and theres a lot of work to get done. the ward meets in a church thats the size of a small pre school with like 4 rooms with few members. so my goal before i leave is to fill the 4 rooms!! Also my new companion  is Elder Herrera and hes like 5 foot 4. No joke. I'll try to send pics but right now im having technical difficulties with my camera. Hes from el salvador and hes a really cool guy. He finishes his mission in 2 changes so I guess the lords put us together so we could build this area and get him to the finish line! I've heard  he likes to work!!  Sooooo lets go boys!

I spent the last week in Madero straight grinding. Contacting contacting and contacting.but Conference was soooooo clutch, just what I needed. We learned a lot about forgiveness, revelation, and our duties as members and priesthood holders in this church! Shout out to President Nelson. He honestly is called of God. His words not only apply to the saints of the united states, but apply to the struggling saints here in Mexico. I love him and I fully sustain him. 

 One of the hardest things I've had to in the last 7 months  is to leave Madero, and leave a family that we've been teaching. (the family of Miguel Angel) . after sharing my last message with them about the blessings of living the gospel, we said goodbye. This was probably the second hardest goodbye next to my parents (and Mckay) at the airport.  As I left, they told my that they could see something special in us. Miguel angels wife turned to him and said "that's because what they're  teaching is true."  I love this work and i love these people.  Just like Hermana Lewis' email,  we as missionaries are planting the seeds, wonderful people who just aren't ready and I testify that is true. One of the saddest things I do as a missionary is to drop investigators. Its the hardest for me. I always give them the benefit of the doubt but every person has their time. Its like a flower, some bloom early and some are late bloomers who need a little more time, but we must never lose faith in their ability to bloom.

hope you all had a good week!!! Love you all!

3.26.18 The Good and the Bad

3.26.18

Aye fam!

 So this week was awesome and terrible at the same time. Wellllll our investigators  mom got in a fight w her parents and moved out and they don’t have contact with her sooooo our baptismal date for the next next Saturday probably will be put on hold haha.  other than that this week FLEW BY. I had two really cool experiences that really help change my  attitude about my mission.

First, we had a lesson with some less actives that we found. We brought a youth in the ward with us to help prepare him for his mission. When we arrived everything was chill. We talked and they were a really nice family, but as soon as we talked about the church, the light switch turned off. He turned cold and said really hurtful things about the church. He kept talking about how other churches rob your money and the Book of Mormon is fake and all kinds of other things. My comp kept bashing  and bashing with him and I just sat silent, seeing it was going nowhere. When it comes to bashing I hate it! Its contentious arguing that prevents any opportunity to have the spirit there. The youth in the ward that we invited put on his backpack and said "come on Elder Broadhead lets go" and I told him to wait. I had a strong feeling to testify, calmly because it would be the spirit that would change his thinking, not us because whatever we said he would  interrupt us by saying all kinds of silly stuff. So when he finally closed his mouth for .035 seconds I testified of a few things he had made some negative comments about  At the end of my testimony I asked him if he would read the Book of Mormon again. This time with his wife, and before every time they read it together, pray to Heavenly Father and ask if this book is true. He then accepted our Book of Mormon and the invitation. LESSON TO LEARN:  You will never go wrong testifying. Never. Now we need to pray he will really do it!

The second experience was with this dude that we found in the Tianguis. The week before we invited him to play basketball with us, but he didn’t show up, so we found him again in Tianguis (such a blessing because you’re packed shoulder to shoulder with people) and we talked with him again. This time he was like I talked with missionaries before and I really felt something special. We started talking to him some more and I invited him to be baptized. and he accepted! he doesn’t live in the area but he lives in the stake and he said hed like to go watch general conference!! that was a pretty sweet experience. LESSON TO LEARN : Don’t fear the people. I know this sound like day one stuff but when you hit the field inviting someone to be baptized sometimes is a touchy, scary subject. Especially here where everyone is a proud Catholic. It was a pretty solid week! 

I’m going into the last week of this change and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna leave, but I’m torn because this place is like home.

Hope you all have a good Easter  week!

3.19.18 Sing!

3.19.18

First, a little S/O to Kaycar and Gracie for their calls this week!! INDEPENDENCE and MEXICO CITY NORTH are super blessed to get them.

         This week was a pretty tough week but also a pretty good one too! One of the members we visit who has had a problem with alcohol told us that he was super sick because he has some kind of disease, and now he has about 3 years to live. so that was super rough. Then I guess he left to some alcoholic rehab for 4 months without saying bye so that was even harder.  Hes a good guy though and I hope he gets the help he needs.

         This week I had a super sweet experience with the same Miguel Angel. We had a lesson close to his house and I felt we should swing by. We went to his house and he was shaking and crying he was in so much pain. They couldn't take him to a medical center for pain because if they touched him he would start screaming. So I turned to my comp and said. "You ready to sing?? I'm not a singer so I was as surprised as my companion but we sang! During our  5 or so hymns his pain went from 10/10, to 7 to 5 down to a 2.  His wife said she was "mad with God", so we thought it might be a good time to  share scriptures/experience of when Joseph Smith was in Liberty Jail and how all of these trails and problems will be for our good. After all that was over he then told us that he was amazed that a pain had been SO intense, and so intolerable could go away within a few minutes of us singing. I'm praying they are learning to recognize the spirit as we have these experiences with them.  I honestly love this family so much Every time we visit them I feel at home. 

          The other cool experience we had was with a less active family we found. We scheduled a fhe lesson with them and when we showed up they brought 2 married couples with them. As we talked about families and how we can be together forever as families, and how the death isn't the end. after talking about temples and how its only through the sealing ordinance by a priesthood holder that we can receive that blessing, she was literally speechless.  The spirit was so strong as we testified of families and how they can be forever!

3.5.18 Let's Go!

3.5.18

Whats up fam,

I hit  6 months today so that's nuts. This week was super awesome. We planned one day strictly for contacting. A FULL day. I was so hyped. I love contacting because you never know what you're gonna run into here in Mexico. One door we knocked we found a crocodile, another we found a dude with a sword collection,  Honestly sometimes I wonder how I ended up here in Cuautepec. But anyway we went deep into the hills and this day we had a lot of rejections, a lot of drunk people chase us, but we found ourselves in a street with NO ONE. This street was completely silent. We then knocked every door, and no one was there ahha. We came to the last house and my comp was like come common lets go no ones home. But i remembered that  talk "Fourth Floor last door" or something like that so I told him we've came this far and its literally the last door. AND WE FOUND THE COOLEST FAMILY. Immediately they opened the door, let us in, and everything clicked. As we talked the son turned to me and started talking to me in English. I was shocked because his accent was from England or something. Literally was a Mexican Ed Sheeran. They LOVED every bit of the lesson and invited us back the next day to hear more. They're so sick. I'm never sure how these things will end but its so cool to meet people and hear there stories.Pray for them.

The other experience I had was Thursday. We had a gap in our schedule and I had a strong feeling to go visit a member in the ward. One of those feelings that you just can't shake off. So we walked all the way across the area to this members house. we entered then Rafa asked us. "How did you know?" and we said. "How did we know what?" He said, "my mom is super sick and she needs a blessing but she was too scared to ask. But now that you're here, will you give her a blessing?" THAT was super cool. she called us angels and I was able to give her a blessing. It was soooo awesome. I'm always amazed at how the Lord works though us as we earnestly seek to follow his promptings.  

 love you all

2.26.18 Back to the CCM

2.26.18

Hey fam, 

yeah..... you read it. I got to go back to the CCM to see Neil L Anderson. I also saw a familiar face from the good ole Knolls ward! His talk was centered on the atonement and Jesus Christ and it was sooooo great. The CCM really is a special place. when we got in it was a special place. It literally was a breath of fresh air. there were no holes in the sidewalk, there was no trash or dogs in the streets, and there is just a different feeling there. I sure miss it somedays.

We had a special conference before the listening to Elder Anderson and it motivated me to talk to more people. Right after the conference we hopped in a taxi and I just started talking to the driver named Jesus. I asked him if he had a family and the next thing you know we had taught the whole Plan of Salvation to this taxi driver. at the end of the trip, we got his info and passed it to the elder in Tlalnepantla. so sick!  It reminded me of a scripture in D&C that says and your whole labor shall be in Zion, with all your soul, from henceforth, yea you shall ever open your mouth in my cause, not fearing what man can do, for I am with you. amen.

Also we live above a catholic family who is super awesome. They've always been good friends with the missionaries but never really have wanted to learn more about the gospel. The dad was in an accident and bruised his ribs and he asked me to give him a blessing. He had been to the doctors and they said he would have to take it easy for 3 weeks before he could be active again. I was super nervous because they usually don't want anything to do with the church but I went and gave him a blessing. The next day he went to work and he said he hasn't felt a ton of pain. THAT was awesome and Im praying it will open them up a little and allows us to talk to them about the experience.

The last thing we had this ward activity about the Tree of life. We called and talked to all of our investigators to go and whatta know  they were a no-show. It was all good because 3 less active families that we visited came! We showed up and the Bishop said,"Okay elder broadhead take it away" (in spanish of course) and i started smiling and he's like "no seriously this is your activity."  but we weren't invited in any of the planning buttt with a quick prayer I just winged it. it ended up being a super activity and the less actives came to church the next Sunday so that was pretty awesome!  This week was sweet, we have 3 baptisms scheduled this month..... lets hope they'll they come to church and keep reading!!!

Have a great week. Love you all Elder Bhead

2.19.18 A Little Prayer

2.19.18

Yep, we had 2 earthquakes and that was pretty cool. They both were in Oaxaca. 

We started a lesson with Jimena and the next thing you know the alarms start blaring "ALERTA SISMO" and we look around and nothings happening. Then we walked downstairs and all the power lines started swaying. Cool experience. The good news is Jimena and Nancy are both committed to baptism and that's pretty awesome! We had another lesson with a Jewish lady  and ohh boy. those are always interesting. We gave her a little taste of the fullness of the gospel hen left she was sweatin bullets.

Other than that none of our investigators went to church, BUT 3 of the less active families that we visited this week went to church!! One blessing that we saw was one day we had NO success. everyone rejected us, called me naughty names, and it just was one of the terrible days on the mish. I sat down on the sidewalk and offered a prayer because the day was literally the worst. I prayed that at least one person would actually talk to us and want to hear what we have to say. After that short prayer for help our phone rang. We visited this family at the beginning of the change and they're super awesome, but at the same time they weren't interested because they felt like they didn't need it at the time. but on the phone this family called, apologized for not answering, then said that he felt like he needed to call us today, and more importantly he felt like he needed to listen to what we teach. God does answer prayers no matter how short and simple they are. Just like Joseph Smith, if our heart and desires are in the right place, God will answer. 

solid week.

super cool

much awesome. Love you all! Elder Bhead

2.12.18 Tacos on Zion

2.12.18

Hey Fam, 

First a little Happy Birthday shout out to Meg!!

​​

So this week was pretty solid to be honest. It nice to have a week like this mixed in with the others. We had zone conf this week so all Thursday was dedicated to the first lesson. Joseph Smith and the Restoration! It was sooooo awesome, I always seem to come away with something new and excited about the chance to share it with whoever will listen.  I love zone conferences!!!

 Butttt this week we had a lesson with our charm Nancy. We taught the second lesson and it was so perfect. I love teaching the second lesson and testifying of this Plan of Happiness. It is full of hope and joy! During the lesson I had the thought to invite her to be baptized. Then in my head I heard a voice that was saying "you won't". I kept teaching then at the end of the lesson my thought changed and  it was a much stronger thought,  "Invite her to come unto Me". You can’t brush off that. So we recapped the Restoration and I sent it !!! AND she said,   YES  !!!! Please keep praying for her, Satan works so hard on our investigators. 

The next day we taught Jimena the sister of Nancy, and on the first lesson, she agreed to be baptized! March 13 the two sisters will enter the waters of baptism!!!  Pray for them. But all I see is blessings on blessings on blessings!!!! Everyday is filled with miracles

Today we ran into a blind man we decided our taco money would be better used to give him a taxi ride home sacrifice brings blessings and we have seen many blessings this week. I just keep planting seeds out here praying  just planting the seed out here in Mexico. 

changes are next coming up theres rumors of me leaving :/

​​

  hope they're not true. 

love you guys lots.

2.7.18 Worth of a Soul

2/7/18 

Sup fam,

 Well nothing absolutely crazy has happened this week so this email might be a little dry. finally people are starting to listen and what do you know, weve been getting a lot of references so thats been a blessing. our first reference was this girl named Nancy shes 16 and just a charm. When we sat down to teach her the first lesson and oh wowwwww this was a first lesson I'll never forget. usually when you sit down and talk the first lesson its like small talk and stuff but this girl was digging deep asking questions about temple marriage, young women activities, word of wisdom and wait for it. priesthood. this first lesson was like 2 hours because she had a billion questions but I left super happy because she was showing some genuine interest in the church. but the biggest blessing is when we left shes like i want you guys to teach my sister, then when we walked out the door shes like oh yeah and i also have a friend who's interested in the church! this was a blessing.

this week in my studies I was reading  in d&c 18 where it says:

 15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!

  16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the Kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many soul unto me! 

So what exactly is the "worth" of a human soul? after about a week of pondering and thinking this question, i came up with an answer. the worth of a human soul is its potential to become like God. Thats a thought to ponder for the week. love you guys lots.

Thanks for the support and the love.

1.29.18 Friend Zoned with a Taco

1/29/2018    

Ayeee,

So this week was pretty chill. We couldn't work one part of our area because it was shut down due to a situation. AND almost every day some of our lessons fell through, so it was a pretty slow week.Last week I mentioned in my email about a guy named Amando who was "gold". Well needless to say there's a lotta fake Rolexes here and that boy was one of them. We went to visit him again and he hit us with a cold shoulder. and this one really hurt. I walked away soooo discouraged and a little frustrated. How can people have these awesome spiritual experiences and then turn cold? He friend-zoned us in one of the nicest ways possible and offered to feed us tacos (that kinda calmed the sting tbh). Such a good guy but not on the right path right now. I have to believe we are planting seeds for missionaries down the road. 

Soooooooooo one day we were out and about knockin doors, contacting people, the usual stuff when we walked passed a shop of one of our investigators. We kept walking and I had this feeling like we should go and see this member. so we went and sat down and the hna says to me,  I have a girl who works here who are interested in the church. And I was like heck ya, lets go boys. We talked to her and tried to set up a lesson and shes like well.... just teach me right now. Since all of our other lessons fell through we were grateful to have the opportunity to teach, so we took her up on it. We taught just about every lesson ahhah she had a ton of questions ahahahah. but shes super awesome. but  she was a very straight forward person. If she didn't like something she heard, she made sure to let us know hahaha. but shes awesome. We'll see if she progresses or hits us with that crossover. Pray for progress!!!!!

All its all good  here in Cuautepec. 

love yall lots!!!

1.22.18 Shabbat experience.

1/22/18 

Well this week was pretty intersting. First we went looking for a old investigator, but when we got to the house, the dad of the investigator was outside.We went and talked to him for a little bit then he’s like so you want to talk to my daughter about religion? I was like oh dear... protective dads... and we were like yeah is that okay with you? Then he sits down and pulls out 2 bibles. Then i was like ohhhhhh boi were gonna bible bash at 9:30 in the morning?? Instead  he says, " these don’t make sense. How come they’re different??" and a light went on in my head... LESSON ONE... then he was like, "Where do we come from, whats my purpose, and where are we going?" then BOOM lesson 2!!! then he said. I want to take lessons too. but i want a lesson without my daughter. I want to be able to ask my questions. This guys gold. now lets hope he progresses. We plan on inviting him to be baptized the first lesson.

The second thing is we have a investigator who’s Jewish we planned out this super awesome lesson about Jesus Christ and the atonement, then when we went to go pick her up and have the lesson at her aunt’s house (the aunts a member) her parents came outside and were like we’re in the middle of our Shabbat, come in and join us. I called president and he gave us the green light and off we went. . . . . and what the heck. the sang these weird songs in Hebrew and then at the end everyone poured up shots of wine and took shots. needless so say i pounded my shots of water. i was super impressed when this 93 year old grandma took like 5 shots of the wine.  I wish I could say she had a future.  It was a super cool experience being able to be exposed to other cultures and customs. But the feeling wasn’t the same. There was no spirit. There was no purpose. singing  songs just doesnt quench my spiritual thirst. 

i love this church. and i love the lord and his work

Spiritual thought that i had when i was studying this week. "diligence reflects our love for the savior, and our obedience shows our faith"

love you all

1.15.18 BAPTISM of Eloy

1/15/18

Hey fam, so this week was awesome and frustrating at the same time. We had 16 lessons planned for the week and ALL of them but 3 fell through so that was a big bust, and one of the members that we were working starting sippin that lean again so that was pretty frustrating. Now he’s gonna go get professional help... so thats goood. Also church attendance took a steeeeep drop on the charts ever since church started at 8:30 so now i think were gonna start working a lot with less actives. 

The baptism was awesome.. He was the only person who wasn’t a member in his family so it was awesome that he eventually came around to the gospel!  the other Elders brought a guy to the baptism. He was completely sloshed. He started clapping after Eloy was baptized then after the closing prayer he stood up and said, " I want to say a prayer...... will you guys pray for my mom?? Thats all. Good night" then sat down. there was a good 3 minutes of awkward silence. The spiritual highlight was while we talked about Jesus Christ while Eloy was changing. The spirit was so strong, even the drunk guy in the back leaned over to the other elders and said, I want to be baptized and be clean. but yeah thats Mexico . 

Until next week

1.8.18 Introducing. . . . .My new Comp. . . Elder

Sign of a bad hair cut is a good hat!

Jan 8^th 2018

Well today was changes and it looks like I'll be stayin here in Madero! (President is now keeping missionaries in the same areas for 5 changes) so I'll be here in Cuautepec for a lil while(: my new comp is from Cuiliacan Mexico and he loves basketball so right now things are going really really well!! 

           This week was frustrating, one of the members started drinking again after a month and a half of being sober, so we visited him and read some scriptures and roasted him, I mean shared with him some key scriptures (with lots of love of course). He started crying and thanked us over and over again then promised us he would never drink again and said hes was going to talk to the bishop Sunday and get on the right track again....... he didn't show up to church which is now at 8:30.  There was 19 people at Sacrament meeting..... and 4 of the people were missionaries. We already had a huge struggle getting people to church and now its only going to be harder so PLEASE  pray for us. 

            The other frustrating thing that happened was I literally couldn't speak spanish in one lesson. Everything I said was conjugated wrong and didn't make sense. so after the lesson our investigator said you need practice, so will you say the closing prayer? When I left, the family laughed at me when I walked out the door. Hummmm so yeah after that lesson  felt like the worst person ever. It was the last lesson of the day so I went home and I just sat at my desk staring at the scriptures thinking what the heck am I doing. It was hard! 

           The next day we had a lesson again and I prayed long and hard for help and guidance in the next lesson. When we arrived at the next lesson I did all the talking. I taught the whole lesson and the whole time they were in awe. When we left elder Aguilar said that was the best spanish hes heard me speak. True faith leads to actions and actions lead to miracles, which i am extremely grateful for.

Hope you all have a good week!!!
