Hey everyone! It was a good week for us! Our P-Day is today because we went on a Temple trip today and that was a great experience. So Thursday is transfers, so this past week has been busy getting everything ready. Elder Quigley joined our companionship so we're in a trio until transfers and then Elder Bird will leave the area and Elder Quigley and I are new companions. Elder Quigley will probably be my last companion on the mission! Crazy how time just flies. Nothing else too exciting. We're just trying to get everyone to the Easter Pageant and unfortunately everyone is canceling. Hopefully we'll go tonight. We also had a pretty cool event we went to. It was an interfaith event and we set up a booth and people just walked around and learned about a ton of religions. So we got to represent the Church of Jesus Christ as 2 20 year old guys haha. It was really cool! 


For the spiritual experience this week it was during an event with the Citrus Heights Stake. They had an Easter musical and there were so many great performances. There was one song specifically that really touched me. Clyde Bawden was playing the piano and a young woman was singing and I believe it was called "rugged cross". The song was so powerful and the spirit was so strong in the church. The singer repeated the words "what a beautiful name it is" and mentioned over and and over again the name Jesus. And how beautiful that name really is! I had a reconfirmation of testimony that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of all mankind. I love him and am grateful for his willingness to suffer and die for me, and for you, and for all that are on the earth. The spirit poured over me stronger than I have ever felt in a while. Jesus is real and is living and loves and cares for each of us.
Have a great week everyone!

 Monday October 12, 2020 Hello everyone! How's it goin? Everything here in Mesa is going well. This week went by really quick and I can't remember everything that happened. I'll start off with our "amigos". I'm pretty sure I've already told you guys about Martha and how we have her on date for baptism. Basically she is still going strong and we don't need to do much with her other than just meet with her every other day to keep her on track. We just go over a few simple things every now and then. Then with Gerardo he is still iffy. He still hasn't accepted baptism, but he's getting closer. We're teaching him the commandments to let him know what exactly he needs to keep and also we're bringing members from our branch to make friends with him so that he is more comfortable. He is still going good he just is taking longer than we expected.  Also another cool thing is now we're allowed to go street contacting! We are allowed to knock o...

 Monday January 18, 2021 Hello everyone!! I hope your week is going great! My week has been fabulous. The Vargas family that randomly came to Church last week are doing great! We had 2 lessons with them this week and they are so eager to learn! They read the Book of Mormon a lot and are so prepared. They have a few Word of Wisdom problems but I don't think they will have any trouble with that. They also have told us that they are planning on getting married, but they want it to be a memorable event so they want to plan well. They are so ready to partake in this gospel and it's actually crazy. They basically are members already. They are the nicest and most sincere people you will ever meet.  Another miracle happened this week!! Another non member just walked into Church!! It's actually crazy the miracles and blessings God is giving us here. So yesterday we had dinner with a family, and the non member that walked into church was there!! He is the Boyfriend of the daughter. W...
