Border Patrol Is Pretty Cool tbh- Week 29 (9/23/19)




Hi Everyone! 
Hahaha I feel bad writing these emails because I never know what to say so I always write just short little emails, and then people still email me and they're like, "Elder, what the heck, write longer emails."
So.
Um, sorry.
But I'll start doing that next week!
(Maybe!)

Not too much happened this week; I got a loan bike from the mission, which is nice.
I also popped a tire on it on friday while riding on the military road down by the border. So Border Patrol drove by, and offered us a ride, which we graciously took cuz it was almost dark and we were exhausted Haha. We were returning on a 10 mile one way trip, and our legs were tiiiirrreeedddd...

We set a baptismal date with some people we're teaching, and I'm so excited! The mom just has this light, and she wants to change so much. Honestly, she makes me take a look at myself.
Am I as desirous as she is? Do I want the gospel, and am I as thankful for it as she is?
This week, we taught the word of wisdom and law of chastity, and she agreed to live both, and we saw how much of a sacrifice it was for her.
Sometimes I think we take for granted the things we're asking people to change. I know I definitely have.

I love all of you! 
Have a fun week!!!! Halloween is coming up, feel free to show me if you get any super cool costumes!

Miss all yall,
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...
