TRANSFERS BUT FO' REAL FO' REAL- Week 24 (8/19/19)

Fishers of Men, by Mary Ann Wright


Hi!
I'm really busy.....
BECAUSE IM TRANSFERRING.
I've been in Pharr, Texas for about four and a half months and now I'll be headed over to La Joya! It's going to be a ton of fun! I hope!
:)

This week has been SO crazy...
-We helped this random old man cut down a tree...
-We helped some people move.... and they gave us BOOTS. LIKE REALLY, REALLY NICE BOOTS. (Mine look so good, they black leather and apparently ostrich?????)
-We made cake! (Finally)
-We had interviews with our mission president for the first time! They went really well. Hes a super nice guy, and hes honestly always so friendly.
-Christie and I matched pants one day (just fo' fun)
-We've also found sooooo many prepared people this week. I'm honestly a little sad to be leaving.... I really hope that everything goes well with them! They're really cool people and the Lord has placed them in our path, and I was lucky to meet them!
-We've had some GOOD lessons with our progressing investigators. They're super excited for baptism!! Haha I wont be there but I'm pumped for them!!!!
-When saying goodbye to one less active grandpa, we read, we talked for a little bit, and when i said goodbye i could just see that his shoulders slouched just a little bit more than before and I even saw a little tear! It made me tear up a little too, I'm not going to lie...
He was such a nice, hard working old man. He doesnt have a lot of support from his family, so it's been really hard for him to be active, but I think he really appreciated Elder Wright and I trying to make an effort to involve him more.

Be nice to people you meet! So many people are having a hard time, are having difficulties that they dont talk about.
And have more faith in people! You'd be surprised how genuine they want to be, they just rarely have a chance to really, really sit down and talk to someone about life.

I love all of yall; Keep on chugging along.
Make every day meaningful
-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...
