Volleyball Champ- Week 5 Update (4/10/19)

Last P-Day email from Mexico!!

Alright, hello everyone!
I'm doing well thanks for asking, I'm a wee bit bored and tired since we do the same thing every day lol but overall it's been really really nice! I'm SUPER excited to head out for Texas on Monday where I'll be able to really start helping people and doing the work.

My Spanish is coming along decently well I'd like to think, I'm pretty much able to understand whatever people say and formulate some kind of response at least haha.
The classes are going well, and on Monday I even taught the entire lesson to my district about the subjunctive grammar tense! It made me miss my old Spanish teacher a bit, because I used a lot of the notes she had given me and she had passed away just this past January.

I hope everyone watched conference! 
There were a lot of really good talks and no matter who you are, you can learn something to better yourself, I guarantee it.
I personally was able to increase my own testimony about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
For anyone who wants to, just email me about a specific talk and I'll share some of the things I learned or felt during it.

Lol okay so with the title.
Basically these past few two or three weeks we've been playing volleyball everyday during gym time and we've been playing for about 3-5 hours on p-day.
Although I've gotten quite a bit better, I'm still not very good lol.
Mari, I wish I'd had you teach me how to be a pro before I came so that I could show off haha.
It's a TON of fun, especially when we get some really good long volleys going. 

I've been playing some piano here and there, and yesterday I played for the devotional again. I played the hymns, prelude postlude, and a special number for the choir to sing along with.
Ive been really happy to be able to play the piano, it's been a great destressor and something for me to relax with when I'm stressed or homesick.

I miss all of you back home, and I hope that you're all doing great. Pray whenever you need strength, and have faith.
I know that our lives can be better than they are now, regardless of how good we think they are already, by growing closer to the Father in heaven.
Feel free to email me whenever, I'll be able to respond on my pday sometime after I make it into Texas!
I love you all,
Best of luck,

Elder Reginato

How a Baptismal Interview changed into a 3 Day Exchange: A short novel- Week 48 (2/10/2020)

Sinton Sunset Hi everyone! This week was CRAZY! Tuesday. We had transfers! I'm staying (woot) with Elder De Leon here in Sinton! That day our car battery also died in the morning so we had to go down to Corpus Christi to get a new battery. It took a ton of time but it was pretty funny. We ended the night with the family home evening we always have, and we decided to have everyone watch Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration. It's an awesome movie! I think it's interesting when people say we "worship" Joseph Smith. Do they "worship" Saint Paul? Saint Peter? No, no one worships a prophet. Just kidding some people do but it's not actually our religion lol, which some people really dont seem to understand. Wednesday. Overall, not bad. We were able to see some of the Presidential Impeachment with an investigator, as well as go out to dinner with another. We taught some lessons, some people, and we ended up having dinner with someone t...

Haircuts are cool except they're not- Week 12 (5/27/19)

I'm writing this right after I've gotten a haircut, and it feels like there are bugs all over me (because of the hairs) and it's making me mistype so much haha! I hope it's just hair!! :))))))) (Sooooo sick of the bugs here haha) But hello everyone! I'll keep this one short, this week something happened to my email and it wont show me the emails I got past a certain time this week, so I'll have to respond to everyone personally next week, sorry!!! But yes what to say, We set two new baptismal dates this week, so hopefully the two people (Junior and Ana) will actually keep their commitments and wont fizzle out!!! We're praying for them, and they're both really really cool people. They've been really interested in the things we've been teaching, which is always nice. I'm always happy when I can teach a lesson, I just love the way it makes sense to people who have felt lost in their religion or who just have questions that they cant fin...

"What did you have for dinner? You better not say salad. I hate that word. If you say it, I will ignore you."- Week 45 (1/13/2020)

Lehi’s Dream, by Steven Lloyd Neal Hi all! Short email this week. I had my first family home evening up here in Sinton! We had like triple the attendance of our usual sacrament meetings which blew my mind. We also played family feud with a member family after we had dinner, that was a blast. Am I intelligent? I like to think so. But when the question is, "name a precious gem or stone." and i blurt out, "Garnet." even I must doubt my own ability at least a little bit. We set ANOTHER BD this week, although we had to move the one from last week back. :( The good news is that we should have 2 baptisms this Saturday. Also, we finally committed one of the boys here to serve! We got him to set a date, text the bishop, and everything. It felt really nice. Not too much else. We had some funny moments, some tiring ones, everything in between! I've decided to read the entire book of Mormon at least once every month this year. We'll see how I do. So f...
