2020-01-13: Working in El Cerrito

Elder Flores, Burt & Elder Sorensen
(companions before this transfer)
Well, this week was pretty good and a little rough. So, for the cambios/transfers, they split Cerrito into two areas. Last cambio we had worked a lot more in the other area, and so now we really don’t have many progressing investigators in my area. Dang, it’s been tough to not work with and help all those awesome people. We have also been contacting and working hard but not seeing much success yet. We are basically starting from nothing.

We did see several miracles though. We spent most of the week looking for old investigators or less active members, and we were blessed to find several people that used to be investigators a long time ago. This is God’s work, and He is preparing people in front of us.

This week I learned that God gives us challenges and weaknesses to make us be humble. When we truly humble ourselves and do His will with all our heart, He will make our weaknesses become strengths.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to return to live with God, and the only way to LEARN how to be like God. The Bible is the word of God and contains the blueprint of how God interacts and help His children live the Gospel. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. He loves us more than we can imagine. We should learn to love Him the same, and then share that love with everyone.

Les amo!!

2019-01-21: Flying By

Hiking - Jan 14, 2019 pday activity Well, another awesome week flew by. It always seems like yesterday was just pday. Hahaha. Well martes, we did an intercambio/exchange (since my comp is district leader). So I was with Elder Nieto (from Ecuador) en Betanzos. We had lots of fun. We didn’t have any citas/appointments, but we had a ton of people to look for so that’s what we did, and it went pretty well. We ended up getting to teach a less-active member that we have been trying to meet with for a long time. It was interesting to see how things that happened sooo long ago still have effects and how this person is still holding on to those feelings. It made me think how I never want to be like that and how it will always be better to forgive and move on with life instead of holding feelings of anger. It was also cool because we shared Mosiah 2:41 , and it reminded me that the real true happiness we can feel will be when we are keeping the commandments from God and working to be...

2020-02-03: Study and Apply the Scriptures

Elder Flores, Elder Sorensen, y Elder Ypushima Hola hola!! This week was pretty good :) Still working good and finally starting to find a lot more and better people to teach.  A few good investigators we found:  We found a lady named Lady (haha) and her boyfriend Daniel. They go to a different church but are super interested. They had tons of questions and really want to learn about what we teach. While teaching them, Daniel read 2 entire pamphlets and the whole introduction to the Book of Mormon!!! WOW!! He began asking tons of really good questions. They are awesome. Another lady we found is named Jennifer Lopez. Hahahaha, en serio (Seriously!). She also goes to a different church but really wanted to learn more, especially what doctrines the church is founded in. We had an awesome lesson with her, and she really wants to find the truth.  Also a lady named Erlinda, who was waiting for us when we went back to her house for the appointment. She is a teache...

2018-11-26: Week 1 in Betanzos

WOOOO!! Hahaha! I am soooo happy! Betanzos is super duper awesome and my comp, Elder Salinas from Ecuador, is AWESOME! Well I feel like a missionary soo much, like all my expectations about being a missionary have happened this past week: not understanding or being able to talk well, teaching lots of people, working til we are absolutely exhausted and helping other people increase their faith. I love it soooo much. Ok so last Monday we passed P-day as normal. Martes/Tuesday morning Elder Salinas and I went to Betanzos. We arrived a little before lunch. After lunch, we had several really good citas/appointments. I love how E' Salinas teaches, and we get along super, super great. Miércoles/Wednesday was awesome. We actually plan our days and use our time really, really well and get a ton done each day. Normally, we get up early to study Quechua, and then we plan our day and then get ready. Then we have personal study and companionship study, and then we leave the house arou...
