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!!

2020-03-02: Craziest Appointment So Far

Hellos!! THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!!! Hahaha. We worked super hard and are seeing lots of progress. Attitude is everything in the mission. A good attitude and hard work will always bring good results. GOD IS GOOD.  We have several awesome people preparing to be baptized soon.  Nicol (13 years old) is going to get baptized this Saturday. She’s incredibly smart and is really taking this seriously. She is sooo ready to be baptized. We had a really good talk, telling her to be nicer to her mom, because that’s what Christ would do and if she wants to get baptized she needs to be more Christlike. She understood :) and took it really well. She’s very mature. Mucha nicol (an expression that means “way to go” “you’re awesome”). Rainir is a baller. He’s an industrial engineer and very smart. He’s planning to get baptized the 21st. He just wants an answer from God to be sure. He’s reading and praying every day. GOLD! He’s awesome. We found this lady named Alba...

2018-08-01: Week 2 Ends

well week two was awesome! we had a lot more time to kind of settle down since we had lots of personal study times and not so much classes. we are also teaching two people *our morning teacher and then afternoon teacher* but like next week i think we will actually start teaching real investigators or less active members that our teachers invite. our lessons go pretty good. they are a bit more realistic and tougher questions then the first practice one. I really enjoy it. Me and elder moore are getting pretty good at spanish and do pretty well during lessons. our whole district also made a goal to speak only spanish every day. except for like spiritual lessons where we need to express our selves or when we are just telling stories and messing around. its really good practice tho and we are all improving a ton. I love it here. i also bought a bunch of flashcards at la tienda por 341 pesos on my debit card just so you know. ive made a goal to memorize 20 new words a day and the cards ha...

2019-01-14: An Awesome Week!

This week was super duper awesome! We had an awesome baptism and worked really hard but also had tons of fun. I love being a missionary and helping other people find true happiness. Me and David. He is one month younger than me. Well ok, martes/Tuesday our district meeting was super good. (I love 1 Nephi 19:9 , it makes me think if Jesus did all that for me because He loves me and wants me to be happy, I should love Him too and try harder to do the things He asks of me. I also learned I should develop this love for other people and put their happiness and needs above my own.) Anyways, we got back to Potosi and then after lunch, went to work. We had several people with goals to be baptized the coming Saturday, so we really needed to meet with them. Well, we only found one of them (Remberto), and we had a super good lesson with him, but he is a little hesitant to be baptized because he wants a firm solid testimony before he makes that choice. We explained how that was good but ...
