Interesting FHE's

So this has been a great week! We had a few great lessons and a few promising investigators. We drove up to the most northern part of our area, MILES! We taught this lady who had met with missionaries before but we don't know why she stopped meeting with them. The best part of the week was last Monday when a family called us to invite us to a FHE with them. The FHE was for their son's lady friend who had asked some questions about the church and so they invited her over so that we could talk about it. It was interesting at first haha we realized a few things during the lesson that made it hilarious afterwards. But she was very open the whole time. We also had an exchange the zone leaders and I got to be with Elder Tovar who took my place when I left Boerne. He is from Mexico City and he is speaking English here and he speaks very well :) we had a great day together and I learned a lot from him.

A great week

Hello everyone! This week has been an awesome week!we got our iPads this week and it has been pretty cool learning how to use them :) this week we has a great  lesson with N and right now she has a date for the 4th of July. We got to go to Martindale to help out with the flooding that to place last week, with in half an hour the water from the Rover hada risen over 30 feet and many mobile homes were taken down the river.

We have a few new families that we are teaching and so this week will be great!!  And we got news and pictures from Jessica's wedding... she was my first baptism. :)

New Companions

This week I received my new companion Elder Holt from Sandy, Utah and he is awesome!! He Is a very happy and excited missionary and I am looking forward to working with him this transfer. On Sunday N was confirmed and she is doing great!  Everyone else has been kind of slow this week so this next week can only get better. We are getting our Ipads this Thursday so we are all ready for that :) I will actually be able to send pictures to yall starting next Monday :) And recently we have been dealing with a lot of storms and craziness. This Saturday our stake has been aske to go help the city if Wimberly and repairing damages and so there is a lot of that. I heard that Boerne was hit pretty hard :( homes destroyed, cars floating down the street and things like that. I hope yall have a great week!

A Baptism in Highland Hills

So this was a crazy week!!!! We had a great conference with Elder Allen and Elder Evans of the Seventy this week on being servant of the Lord in a digital age and so this upcoming transfer we will be receiving Ipads. Oh yeah and transfers are this week!! Elder Christensen is going to the border to be Zone leader and I am staying here and receiving a new companion.

So Saturday was the baptism of N and it was great!!!! :) first and last time I will see a 8-month pregnant women get baptized haha afterwards it started raining like mad and lightning and thunder. We lost power in our apartment for the whole night and then on Sunday we had to go to church in Windcrest because we didnt have power in the chapel so that was a blast :) We have had a great week and I look forward to the next transfer :)

Not tough enough to handle the half dead road kill....

What an awesome week that we had!! N is going to be baptized this saturday at 7pm so we are really excited about it! She is excited, and so are her in laws haha she has been reading over the pamphlets and reading so she is prepared. she is still super pregnant though so we are going to have to fill the font really high to help her out with that. We had another great lesson with No with week and the P's. sadly she told us that she does not feel ready to be baptized (she has not even come to church yet) but she is still reading and praying. We are going to talk about the word of wisdom with her which is one of the reasons that she does not feel ready( she just does not know it).

funny story for the week. we went to visit with N earlier in the week and they happened to be at an interview. But there had been this cat that had been run over in the road that was still alive and to spare the details it caused me to pass out. all of this while I was on exchanges haha :) great week!!!

Lots of lessons this week...

Well this week we have some awesome news! A family in our ward who's daughter in law is not a member wants to get baptized!! Her date is set for the 23rd of May. She has been coming to church regularly and has received most of the lessons so now we just have to go over it and make sure she understands! The interesting part is that she is 8 months pregnant and so that will be an interesting baptism.

Norma and Yuliana still have not come to church. Yuliana is working like crazy at Walmart and Norma has been having health problems so we are working with her on that.

We went up to Cibolo again and had a lesson with the Cabreras. It went well.... Sister Cabrera is fighting her self right now. She thinks that the Catholic church is wrong and that there is a lot of things that are not right, but then at the same time she believes her baptism was valid..? I do not understand the logic behind that. But we will be meeting with them again this week.

Kind of a funny story this week. We were visiting with a less active couple and she started talking about dreams and things she was seeing(and for those of you who do not know, Hispanic people are know for having experiences quite frequently) and she told us that she one time saw a shadow on her front door and when she was describing it, it sounded like Darth Maul. Then to make it better she had drawn it on the door in pencil. And it was still there.

Anyways that is it for the week!! i love y'all!

A slow week with no pictures....

So this week was kind of slow. We went on a few exchanges this week with other missionaries in our district and it was great! On Tuesday I had a different Elder Christensen with me and he does not speak spanish haha but he did not mind. We had a lesson with Norma and it went very well. The members that came with us were a great help ( members do so much!) She is still thinking on baptism and is still reading. She had just read Ether 2. And as always whenever she reads anything she always, always pulls something out and thinks it is talking about end of the earth or the second coming. So we had to explain that to her and then we continued on with the lesson. Elder Christensen did an amazing job! (the lesson was in english) the only sad part is that she did not come to church :(

Yuliana has been working a lot and so there has not been much contact with her.

We had an exchange on Thursday as well and Elder McKay came to the area with me and we had an okay day. We stopped by José while he was making his tacos and man that was good!! 

A few fun stories

1. We got a brand new car a few weeks ago. A 2015 Toyota Corolla, red. And it is sweet!

2. a few weeks ago Elder Christensen had an job interview over Skype( it was approved) and Elder McQuinn and I were asked questions about him haha it was great!!
