Second Week Of MTC

I've been at the MTC for 2 weeks already and it's crazy how time flies. Not too much has happened other than normal spanish study, scripture study and preach my gospel study. We have really good devotionals here and we got the best news ever since I've been here. President Ballard and Elder Stevensen are coming to the CCM on December 9th!!! I'm so lucky I will still be here and they will talk to us here in person. Everyone was freaking out when the MTC president told us and I am so  hyped!!!  Anyways Spanish has been coming along but its mas o menos so not too great but I still have 2 more weeks here. As time has gone by Its beginning to feel like home here and as I've become more intune with the spirit I more easily receive answers to questions and words come easier to me. I was reading the scriptures with a question in my mind and as I was reading the answers in that very hour popped out to me it was crazy. I Ive never really used the footnotes but I was like clicking on all of them and they were things that i've never seen before and were reinforcing my answer. One thing I would like to share is when our district was having a meeting i was just worried about the language and stuff and one spanish older lady was just sitting in our meeting and she wanted to bear her testimony to us and even though her english was pretty bad I felt the spirit so strongly and she told us you don't even have to know spanish that well and you will touch the lives of many people. And i don't think it was a coincidence that she happened to be there. I walk out of my house everyday and still say to myself that I'm in Mexico, because the CCM is kind of a little bubble. I want to tell everyone thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for me. I am super grateful. Overall not too much has happened or was different from last week, I still have two weeks here at the CCM. Lastly my testimony has grown so much as I have studied and practiced sharing the gospel with other people and am overall grateful for my opportunity to be a missionary.


These are just some images of what's around the CCM. Houses around the CCM and a picture of weird giant lego arm things, idk what they are.

Greeting from the Bronx. It has been a busy couple weeks. I am starting to get use to the area. The hardest thing to get use to is how there are pockets of people. In Flushing it was mostly Chinese people. The Bronx is mostly Dominicans. It is really interesting how people gather in pockets to different boroughs. I have been on a few travels the last few weeks. I spent some time in Manhattan last week and today I went to a Yankees game. The missionaries here are treated well. The Spanish people are glad to hear about the Gospel. I would explain it as, they love God and are glad to hear more about Christ. It’s the commitment that is the struggle. They make a lot of excuses like, it’s ok, I have Jesus in my heart.  The missionary work here is the same as my other areas. We do all street contacts. We work in the areas of the apartment buildings mostly. We do spend some time near stores or parks, where ever we can find the most people. We had a media referral come in from one of the Ch...

Mindful

Hola from the Bronx. It’s been a few weeks. All is going well. I just wanted to check in where it’s been a while. There is honestly nothing new or too excited going on here. We did have a baptism last Sunday which is awesome. It was Sister Yudelky I talked about in my last email who was sick and postponed her baptism. We were able to get it scheduled and taken care of (picture below). We have been doing more street contacting and have a couple people who I believe will get baptized in the next week or two. I have faith we will keep finding people who are ready. Weather here has cooled a little. The highs are in the 80’s which makes it a lot more pleasant to be on the streets. We have had a few rainy days lately. Having said the weather isn’t to bad, the Bronx is still not the place to visit or plan a vacation. I have been studying how everything testifies of God. I have been more mindful of how even the ability, knowledge and material to build such big buildings came from God. It is am...

Last Transfer

Image
Hola everyone. All is well in the Bronx. Having said that I’m in the Bronx, means I stayed here for my last transfer. It is crazy to think I am in last area. Remember though, I am staying two extra weeks. I don’t know if I will move my last two weeks for a trio. I guess I could have one two week transfer, but officially this is my last. We had a mission tour last week. This is when a General Authority comes and tours the mission, gives devotionals and meets the missionaries. Elder and Sister Daines from the Seventy came and gave two separate devotionals because of the size of the mission. Elder Daines spoke about covenants and baptism. He focused on teaching how the Savior would. It was good to remember and refocus on why we are missionaries. I have zone conference this week and I get to hear from President and Sister Taylor. This is the second zone conference since they have come into the mission. We are teaching two people who are looking good for baptism this week. Nuris from the Do...
