    ANGELS

Mi Cuate

Yo super lit week this week. Definitely one of the most tired weeks that I’ve had in a long time. This week we have been focusing a lot on working with the members and trying to get as many lessons with them as we can. A lot of citas that we had fall through though but it’s super chill. 

We have a family that we have a lot of faith in. They are the familia Morales and they are super lit. Sonia is a member (28) her sister Patricia (25), Ingrid(18), Maynor(15) and Jaime(13). Super cool. We had a super powerful lesson on Saturday and the spirit was so strong. They are all super invested in their work. All they want to do is work work work. So getting them to church on Sunday is high-key super tough. I shared a story about my grandpa England and talked about the success that he had. I have a 30 minute video of my grandpa talking about how C.R.England grew and about some advice he would give to young people. The thing that didn’t surprise me at all to hear was that the best thing a business man can do is to love his workers and clients. Not something very many successful business men would say, but it is something grandpa England would say!


I have always been taught to not cheat or lie my way to success. But to be smart, responsible, humble, and to always have integrity. NOT something I have been very good at in my teenage years. I have gotten a little better on the mission but still struggle a lot. It was funny how I was giving this advice to these young kids about managing money and doing it in a spiritual way because of how horrible I am at it. But, I really had to hold back tears because I felt the presence of an angel with me. The spirit and an angel were the ones teaching this lesson, not me. I knew my Grandpa England was present and I knew he was helping me during this .


Angels exist. There is 0 doubt in my heart about that. I feel that I have experienced loss in my life and I know so many friends and family who have experienced loss on a whole other level. I feel humbled and sorry for my friends and family who have suffered so much loss. It is one of the hardest things that anyone of us can go through but one thing I can promise is that we are at the beginning of a perfect plan. We will experience loss but our friends and family who have passed on to the other side of the veil are with us. I know it. They live in the spirit. They love us just as much, if not more so. They look after us just as much if not more so. We will all see each other again. We can be families forever. By the grace and atonement of the biggest loss that this world has ever seen, we will hug those that we have lost.


I love you all so much, never forget it. As always, please STAY SAFE


Scripture of the Week:


Moroni 7:29 "And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men."

    SOLOLA

Alea Run

Yo super good week this last week. We finally weren't sick and were able to get out and finish the transfer strong. We got transfer news on Tuesday and I found out I was leaving. One of the first times I've been super sad to leave an área. I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to but I was able to reflect on everything and realize that we did do some great work here and that the members here are a lot stronger in testimony and are a lot more involved in the missionary work. The ward also started helping our group a lot more and there is a great plan set up for the area. Super pumped to hear about it. 

Well I got transferred on Thursday to Sololá. I made it back out to the lake and I'm pumped to be here. I'm here with Elder Mcomber and he's awesome. We got along great and we have a lot of great ideas for this transfer. We've got a great ward and in the short amount of time we have together we are starting to see progress. Biggest focus of this transfer is for sure going to be on working with the members. We have both seen success the most in our missions by working with members and we are super energized and ready to go. This transfer is going to be awesome.


Not too much to share other than that but I know that these next 6 months are going to fly. Hit 18 months and I have always heard that once you hit 18 months, it just flys and you can keep track of time. Before I know it, it'll come to an end and I really have been worried about whether or not I'm going to be ready. I have been worried about not being converted enough. Then I realized that if I'm worrying about it, I won't be ready. Kinda crazy that it's taken me 18 months to realize what getting lost in the work really means. I just have got to do what I need to do and these next 6 months will be the best 6 months of the mish. We all need to do this. The best thing we can all do right now is stop worrying so much about work, school, etc, and just breathe. Study the scriptures. Say prayers everyday and every night. Do the simple things and we will all accomplish the things that we need to. 


Love you all


Miss you. Stay safe


Scripture of the Week:


Matthew 7:24-27 “24 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”


Mateo 7:24-27 “24 A cualquiera, pues, que me oye estas palabras y las hace, le compararé a un hombre prudente que edificó su casa sobre la roca. 25 Y descendió la lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos y azotaron aquella casa; pero no cayó, porque estaba fundada sobre la roca. 26 Y a cualquiera que me oye estas palabras y no las hace, le compararé a un hombre insensato que edificó su casa sobre la arena. 27 Y descendió la lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos y dieron con ímpetu contra aquella casa; y cayó, y fue grande su ruina.”

    FOOD POISONING

Alotenango

Super insanely mid week. We had a super fun P-day tho and played a lot of pickleball. On Tuesday we had district council and it was super good. Presidente pulled up and gave a lot of great advice for us and it was good. Hermana Probst also made us brownies and they were so gas. We also gave 3 plates to the Bishopric. It was fun going around and giving them to the Bishopric and their wives.  They were all excited. It's sad cause the Bishopric doesn't get ministered to, so that means neither do their families. The wives lit up and it was amazing. We all gotta remember that everyone needs ministration, especially the leaders!

On Tuesday night we met with a lot of members and taught them all lessons which went super well. One of the families offered us dinner and obviously we accepted. Bad choice. We got food poisoning and that took us out for a good 2 and a half days lol. The 3rd day we were so sick of being inside that we went out anyway and visited some families. Super worth it. 


I realized how awesome it is to not be sick and how having a healthy body is such an amazing gift. There are so many things we can't do without a healthy body so I really appreciated my health this last week. I remember sitting in testimony meeting a couple months ago and heard a guy who got his leg amputated say that it was a blessing. He said ever since the amputation he had felt more of the love from his Heavenly Father and how much Jesus Christ was there. Got me thinking about how afflictions are blessings. They help us grow and learn. We need them to progress and I know God would never give us trials and afflictions out of anger or just for fun. He does it because He loves us and He's sad when it happens, but He is cheering us on the whole way and Jesus Christ is with us the whole way.


Love you all and it's been a while since I've heard from you guys. Please stay safe and reach out!!

    BELIEVE ON HIM

Chino y Noemy

Yo super mid week for the work but it ended great. I feel like here in Alotenango always get only a super bad week or a super good week. Or a good weekend or a bad one. It is always so up and down here and it really takes it out of ya but I love it.

We met with a lot of investigators this past week and their progress has been super bad. They haven’t been keeping their commitments and it has been super frustrating. I think I have had 6 investigators, some that include their families as well, tell me that they know the Book of Mormon is true and that they want to try and make a change in their lives and they do so well for about a week. Then they just ghost us. Not even an exaggeration either, they literally ghost us and we try for about 2 weeks to contact them and we cant find them. It’s super frustrating and sad and we just wonder what happened that made them go from one side to the opposite. Elder Steere and I had a good talk one day and it really helped us get more motivated.


I remember feeling this way when I was in San Raymundo with Elder Giles about 6 months ago. I remember I felt like we weren't teaching good enough because the spirit was there all the time and they felt it, but would reject it. So I remember that transfer we went to the temple and I entered the celestial room and just knelt down and prayed. I remember asking Heavenly Father why we weren't seeing success and after I finished the prayer I opened up the scriptures and I opened up to Juan 12:42. I love in these scriptures how even though they saw THE SON OF GOD physically, and believed on Him, they still turned away. I feel like now I need that reminder that hey, it might not be something that I am doing but maybe just the fact that they aren’t ready to accept the church even though they know it is true. They value too many things over Christ’s church and that is why they don’t convert. 


Honestly Alotenango has kicked my butt and sometimes I want to just lose my mind, and sometimes I do. It has really been the most humbling experience ever and I am so grateful for the time that I have had here and I hope to keep going with more motivation and faith in the people here for the rest of the transfer. 


Love you all and hope you all have the best week. As always feel free to reach out, I miss you guys. Stay Safe


Scripture of the Week:

    SUS CAMINOS

Elder Steere

Hey what's up, pretty good week this week. Didn't end super strong but we good, we'll keep going. We are making slow progress with our families and that's ok, obviously we would like them to make more progress but it's ok, God will provide.

I was on divisions this last Tuesday with Elder Meldrum in my District and it was super sick. Bro is super funny and loves to have fun. We were contacting a lot of the people that me and Elder Steere had contacted before and had 0 luck. However, we did end up finding a super cool family. We saw the mom walk in the front door while we were walking by so we decided to go knock it. A bunch of kids came out so I talked to em and asked em if they had a ball to play with, so they got their ball and all came out and we played with them for a bit. It was super lit. Then after, they got their moms to come out and we contacted em and got an appointment for Thursday. So then me and Elder Steere went back on Thursday and it was super lit. There were even more kids and we played soccer and shared a message with aunts, uncles, parents, cousins, grandparents. It was sick. Then after the lesson they wanted to play even more and the dad even came out and started playing with us and was laughing, giving us high fives, hugs, everything. It was super lit. They were working this Sunday but I'm hoping we can start visiting them more often and get them to church soon! A couple of investigators that we had dropped a couple weeks ago reached out to us and 2 of em came to church this Sunday. It made us super happy and I'm excited to see if this time they want to start taking everything a bit more seriously. 


I'm super stressed in the area and it's a tough one. Definitely the hardest one I've had yet but I have been thinking a lot about faith. I know, super basic, but I have realized that I have a LONG way to go with my faith/trust in the Lord's plan for Alotenango. A couple scriptures that I have been thinking about a lot are Isaiah 55:8-9.  We get very frustrated sometimes and we all wish we could just have it our way. But what we can learn from these verses is that He knows what's best for us and He has a much better plan for us than we do for ourselves. To have faith is to trust in His plans and understand that what we want isn’t always what is best.


Love you all and hope to hear from you all this week


Stay safe and have faith


Scripture of the Week:


Isaiah 55:8-9 “¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”


Isaías 55:8-9 “8 Porque mis pensamientos no son vuestros pensamientos, ni vuestros caminos mis caminos, dice Jehová. 9 Como son más altos los cielos que la tierra, así son mis caminos más altos que vuestros caminos, y mis pensamientos más que vuestros pensamientos.”

    FIESTA EN LOS CIELOS


Bappy

Super L week this last week for work but it's chill. We'll bounce back this week fs. Everyone we found last week was super sick and then this week we couldn't get a hold of them. We fasted to help out the area on Friday and it went really well. We'll see what God has in store for Alotenango this week.

I really want to focus on a cool miracle this week that happened personally. I got a text from my old area that said one of the investigators I taught named Dulce was getting baptized and she asked for me to go and baptize her. It was such an honor to do so and I was so pumped to do it. When I first met her she was very different. She had so many questions about the church. She also commented at the end of the lesson that she had been super depressed and even suicidal and felt alone and didn't feel God in her life. It was a super emotional lesson for her and honestly for us too. After that lesson I didn't see much of her. I got transferred and it's been a couple months since San Raymundo. But when I saw her today she looked different and a lot happier. She was still super nervous and her usual anxious self though.


When we started to go into the font she kept saying that she didn't want to and that it was better to do it another day. I just said yes you do, get in the water lol. So she did and stopped being so dramatic haha but we did the baptism first try and she did so well. I was so proud of her. Then after she received the Holy Ghost is when I really saw the difference. Her appearance looked different and she seemed so full of peace. A peace that I'm sure she has not felt in a very long time. She leaned over to me after and said that she felt so peaceful and felt like she was reborn. Obviously I told her that's because she was reborn and a remission of sins by the gift of the Holy Ghost will do that to ya haha. Overall such a cool experience and I'm so grateful she gave me the opportunity to baptize her. Hoy sí hay fiesta en los cielos.


I wanted to share a quick thought along with that little story. When we feel the Holy Ghost we rejoice. We feel happy. We feel peace. We feel love. We feel a forgiveness of our sins. When I meet people I always ask them what they like to do. And they answer with whatever it is they like to do. Obviously we're all different and like different things. Different things make us happy. But there is one thing that everyone has in common. That is when we feel the spirit, everyone loves it. EVERYONE. It's a feeling we all know but can't explain. But it's more powerful and worth more than anything in the world. And we can feel it when we follow the commandments like Dulce did this weekend. 


I love you all so much and I invite you all to focus on being obedient and paying more attention to the spirit this week. Stay safe!


Scripture of the week: 


John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”


Juan 14:26 “Mas el Consolador, el Espíritu Santo, a quien el Padre enviará en mi nombre, él os enseñará todas las cosas, y os recordará todo lo que os he dicho.”

        GRINGOS IN ALOTENANGO


Antigua

Yo what's up, hope you guys had a good week. This week here in Alotenango was super good. We found 2 new families who should progress very well and I'm so pumped for them. It's the familia Apen and the familia Valle. Super cool but we need prayers like crazy for them. Also for one of our investigators named Ana Valle. Please pray for all of em.

One of the big highlights of the week was on Saturday. We have been getting a million references to call and send out to other areas.  We ate lunch and then the people dropped off our fresh water. While we were waiting for our water, we saw 2 Gringos walking up to us and they started talking to us. Then about 10 more came up. They were all members from Idaho. They are a group that wanted to help our investigators and recent converts and give them bunkbeds.  I knew about them but I didn't know they were coming today. It was super fun to go around with them and do service. 


This week I focused on integrity a lot during my studies. It was so good. Daniel 6 is such a great story. I always thought about it as more of a brave thing or a faithful thing that Daniel did and then I realized that it showed so much integrity as well. In Preach My Gospel it defines integrity in a couple short paragraphs.


“Integrity flows from the first great commandment to love God (see Matthew 22:37). Because you love God, you are true to Him at all times. Like the sons of Helaman, you “walk uprightly before him” (Alma 53:21). When you have integrity, you understand that there is right and wrong and that there is absolute truth—God’s truth. You use your agency to choose according to God’s truth, and you promptly repent when you do not. What you choose to think—and what you do when you believe no one is watching—is a strong measure of your integrity. Integrity means you do not lower your standards or behavior so you can impress or be accepted by others. You do what is right even when others scoff at your desire to be true to God (see 1 Nephi 8:24–28). You live with honor in all environments, including how you represent yourself online. When you have integrity, you keep your covenants with God as well as your righteous commitments to others. Integrity includes being honest with God, yourself, your leaders, and others. You do not lie, steal, cheat, or deceive. When you do something wrong, you accept responsibility and repent instead of trying to justify or rationalize it. As you live with integrity, you will have inner peace and self-respect. The Lord and others will trust you.”


I invite all of you guys to study this and understand what integrity really means. Love you guys so much


Stay safe


Scripture of the Week:


Genesis 39:7-12 “¶ And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.”


Génesis 39:7-12 “7 Y aconteció después de esto, que la esposa de su amo puso sus ojos en José y le dijo: Acuéstate conmigo. 8 Y él no quiso y dijo a la esposa de su amo: He aquí que mi amo no se preocupa conmigo de lo que hay en la casa, y ha puesto en mis manos todo lo que tiene. 9 No hay otro mayor que yo en esta casa, y ninguna cosa me ha reservado sino a ti, por cuanto tú eres su esposa; ¿cómo, pues, haría yo este gran mal y pecaría contra Dios? 10 Y sucedió que hablaba ella a José cada día, y él no la escuchaba para acostarse al lado de ella, para estar con ella. 11 Aconteció que entró él un día en la casa para hacer su oficio, y no había nadie de los de casa allí. 12 Y ella lo asió de la ropa, diciendo: Acuéstate conmigo. Entonces él dejó su ropa en las manos de ella, y huyó y salió afuera”

     NEW COMP



Elder Steere

Yo what up, super lit week here in Alotenango and we had transfers. I am staying here and I got a new comp named Elder Steere. Bro's a goat. He's from Grantsville Utah and is 6'7.  Giant. Walking around with him is actually insanely funny. The kids' reactions are probably the most entertaining part. I'm super pumped to stay here in Alotenango and try and pick things up. Whatever we were doing last transfer wasn't working too well so I've been trying to think of different ways to work here. 


In our area we have a “group” with like 5 members who live here. The rest of the members who live in our area live in gated communities between us and a big ward. So technically even though they live in our area, they still go to the ward so we kinda are left dry handed. The Bishop of the ward said he can't do anything about it so my plan is to motivate them to come to our “group”. We need to visit them like crazy and gain their confidence then they'll be a bit more motivated. We also started family home evenings with all the families here in Alotenango and we are hoping that once we make good friends with the people in the gated communities, they will come to the family home evenings and make friends with the people here and motivate everyone to start working together. We'll see how it goes!


Lately I've been focused on trying to align my will with God's will. It's been tough to align mine with His but it has been super humbling ngl. Chapter 6 in Preach My Gospel is definitely my favorite chapter and it talks about Christlike attributes. If we can get all those attributes down, well, our will will be aligned with our Heavenly Fathers. I invite you all to read chapter 6 of Preach My Gospel. It's on gospel library and it's amazing.


Love you all and miss you all

Volcan de fuego

Yo what’s good, Happy New Year, hope you all are doing well. Super good New Years and I’m excited to be in 2025, guess why,  we got 7 months left in the mish and I’m super pumped to finish strong. Everyone says 12-18 months is pretty freaking slow and I can attest to that 100%. But EVERYONE says that 18-24 is insanely fast so pretty excited about that but also pretty nervous. We got on the roof of our house to watch fireworks at 12 and I realized that Guatemala for sure has the better tradition on New Years. I’ll miss it fs, but good thing we got 7 more months to enjoy it.

We received a reference from some members last week and they are super cool. They actually want to progress and are progressing. They are a couple with 3 kids. Bro is 22 years old, wild lol. The wife is 27 at least though so that’s good. We taught them about the restoration and they took it really well and said they want to get baptized which is super good news. The hard thing is though that they work on Sundays, aren’t married, and the husband drinks so it is going to be a lil tough but we’ll work hard with them and they are going to get baptized soon. We taught them how to pray which actually helped them a lot and I realized just how important saying a prayer in the right way is. There are a few things that we should be saying in our personal prayers every time.


Present God(Heavenly father, Loving father in heaven, etc

Thank Him for all that you have

Repent and ask forgiveness

Ask for strength to resist temptations and change

Ask for blessings for yourself and others according to the will of God

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, amen


I know the impact it makes when we make our prayers personal and meaningful. I invite all of you guys to pray just a couple minutes longer and reflect with your Heavenly Father on how you are doing. Love you guys so much!

Scriptures of the Week


Matthew 6:5-13   “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.  11 Give us this day our daily bread.  12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.  13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


Mateo 6:5-13. 5  “Y cuando ores, no seas como los hipócritas, que les gusta orar de pie en las sinagogas y en las esquinas de las calles, para ser vistos de los hombres. De cierto os digo que ya tienen su recompensa. 6 Pero tú, cuando ores, entra en tu aposento, y cerrada tu puerta, ora a tu Padre que está en secreto; y tu Padre que ve en lo secreto te recompensará en público. 7 Pero cuando oréis, no uséis vanas repeticiones, como hacen los paganos, que piensan que serán oídos por sus muchas palabras. 8 No seáis, pues, como ellos, porque vuestro Padre sabe lo que necesitáis antes de que se lo pidáis. 9 Vosotros, pues, oraréis así: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. 10 Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. 11 Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día. 12 Y perdónanos nuestras deudas, como nosotros perdonamos a nuestros deudores. 13 Y no nos dejes caer en la tentación, mas líbranos del mal: porque tuyo es el reino, el poder y la gloria por los siglos. Amén.

Happy New Year 

What's up guys, super good week this last week.  Hope you all had a super good Christmas.  For Christmas Eve it was lit, we had changed our pday to Tuesday. We made breakfast as a zone and it was super fun and super mid food. They put like 12 eggs in instead of 3 and the pancakes were super doughy on the inside but it was chill. I just had to pretend it was cream and it was good. For Christmas night we went and slept over at the Zone Leaders house and had a lil party with a member family and ate a churasco and a lot of tomales and paches. Insanely gas. The tradition here is at midnight to light off every single firework that exists in Guatemala so it gets super loud all over but insanely pretty. We did presents with the ZL’s on Christmas morning and made pancakes, super lit. 

The work has been a little slow but we finally got a member to go out with us and give us references and we actually found people who want to progress. Super interesting right. Anyways we are excited about our new investigators and a little frustrated with some other investigators who are wanting to change their lives but just don’t keep commitments but it’s chill. They’re super close and will get there soon


My niece Oakley’s birthday was on Christmas so I got to celebrate Jesus and Her!! Also shoutout Barby (Elder Barber) and Cor for the meetup. Crazy.


Love you all so much and be safe this New Year! 2024 is a year I will never forget and I am so unbelievably humbled and lucky to have been a servant of the Lord this year. Wouldn't trade it for anything!


Scripture of the Week:


Alma 13:28 “But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering;”


Alma 13:28 “sino que os humilléis ante el Señor, e invoquéis su santo nombre, y veléis y oréis incesantemente, para que no seáis tentados más de lo que podáis resistir, y así seáis guiados por el Santo Espíritu, volviéndoos humildes, mansos, sumisos, pacientes, llenos de amor y de toda longanimidad;”
