iPads are coming to TSAM!

So this last week was filled with a bunch of different things. Zone meeting, district meeting, exchanges and a few lessons. First off we met with Yuliana again this week and there has been a lot of different things going on with her. It is hard to meet with her because of work which has all the time. She says she will go to church but never does because her work calls her in to fill someone. And so her baptism will be pushed back.

We have not been able to meet with Norma for a bit. From what she has told us she loves reading the Book of Mormón.

I went on exchanges with one of our zone leaders; Elder Graham. We had some very good lessons and a youth that is not set on baptism.

Exciting news for the whole mission, we will be meeting with a few members of the Seventy in a few weeks in a meeting that is called "Disciples of the Lord in the Digital Age." I am sure yall can figure that one out :)

But we were told about the condition of some of the Apostles and so please keep them in your prayers!!

I love y'all!

USA vs. Mexico... go USA!

So this week has been somewhat of a slow week. We were able to meet with N this week but she did not come to church :( but she is loving the Book of Mormon!!

Highlight of the week was that a less active family that we have been working with came to church yesterday and so that was awesome watching them walk into the chapel!! They have been going through a lot of things that they have not made know to us but they finally came!!!

Moments for the week. Mexico came and played the U.S. in the Alamo Dome which happens to be in our area and so that was an exciting day for everyone. Our Branch mission leader and his family were watching it and our whole branch was going for Mexico even if they were not from there. We passed by the stadium and they were tents everywhere and Elder Christensen and I  were being tortured with it all. but we found out that the U.S. won 2-0 so we were excited about that, while everyone else was depressed. That is about it for the week. I love y'all!! 

Last P-day

USA! USA!

The Front of my Planner for this transfer

Transfer news....

So the news for this upcoming transfer is..... Elder Christensen and I are staying here in Highland Hills and Elder McQuinn will be leaving :( We are sad to see him go this Thursday but we know that he will continue to do amazing work! So after more than a year and a half I am finally explaining transfers in case I have not already. So Sunday night we get called by either President Slaughter or the Assistants and they tell us whether we are staying or leaving. That Thursday we meet at the North Stake center to have transfer meeting. This is where we meet all the incoming missionaries and then they have call outs. They announce the area, who is already there and who is coming in if anyone. Then there is another meeting up in Austin. So there you go haha other minor details are that we will not receive another companion and we do live by our selves. and we cover the whole East Stake for the Spanish Branch. Which by the way all three of us gave talks yesterday in Spanish so that was interesting haha!

This week was interesting. We had stopped by a part member home and were speaking with the non-member husband and he received a call from his daughter. he told her that we were with him and he handed the phone to Elder Christensen and she got around to telling him that she wanted to be baptized. Miracles do happen. We met with her that night and she told us everything that was going on and that she had been thinking abut this for about 2 months now. She had spoken with her mom (member) about it and finally made the choice. Things have been going back and forth now but there is still hope!!

N is still doing really well. She has been reading and loving everything! We are meeting with her tomorrow.

Fun thing for the week. One of the guys that we are working with; J. He makes tacos for a bunch of people on Fridays and we get them for free. I think his little set up his hilarious because it is so...mexican... haha he cook his tortillas in lard on a stove and has a seperate cooker for the meat. Which he then cuts with a huge knife on a slab of wood (like a slab that was just cut from a tree) and then he has all the salsas and condiments. The meat was sooo good!

Another funny thing is we have a Part-member family and the little girl in the family speaks tex-mex. For example: " Quiero un book." or " tengo hot" it is so funny listening to her haha

that is all for the week!! I love y'all!

General Conference was awesome!

What an amazing weekend!!! I got to listen to conference in Spanish which was awesome!! There were a lot of amazing talks given. One thing that I have found very profound throughout my mission is how IMPORTANT the resurrection of Jesus Christ is. My mom sent me an article about the Holy week and at the end at the bottom there was a note that pointed out that if the Bible were to end with the burial of Jesus Christ there would be no good news to have.  Our progression would stop at death and we would be lost forever.... How glorious is it that we are loved by our Heavenly Father and Savior enough to provide that.

Things that have happened this week. On Wednesday Elder Christensen went to a mission wide District leader meeting and so Elder McQuinn and I were put in other areas for a few hours. I was with another Elder Christensen and we did some walking and biking. The problem was that his companion accidentally took the phone....and so we were guesstimating on when they would get back. I did not get picked up till almost 5pm and we did not get Elder McQuinn back till we had gone in for the night. Oh and the day before we had been on exchanges with Elder Goodman, so there was 4 of us! Hijole! but we had a lot of fun and Elder Goodman and I walked around for a little bit and we were able to have 3 lessons that night. 

As of right now we do not have anyone set up with a date, but we do have , who loves meeting with us and loves 3 Nephi. Other than that we are just bracing for the summer heat, one more to go!

¡Gracias a que Él vive!
