Sin City- Week 42 (12/24/19)


The Christ Child


Hi everyone! Sorry I was planning on writing a big email but I'm not feeling very good right now...

Um, sin city! The big boy Sinton... where do I start.
We cover three cities. Taft (population of about 3000), sinton (population around 5600), and saint paul (maybe five people I dont know).
Missionaries have been here for a very, very long time and since it's a small city, they're actually pretty well known overall.

I'm technically the "group leader." We dont have a ward, or a branch. We have a group of roughly 10 people that comes to our little ward. The explanation as to why is a bit long, but basically all of our active members up here actually go to a different ward further south, stake presidents orders.
That makes our job a bitttt more difficult, but it's alright I guess.

Elder Fonseca, my companion, is from costa rica! Hes a nice guy, and hes currently learning english. Hes doing a really good job so far honestly.
He is on his 4th transfer and he has been up here in Sinton for all 4 of them.... poor thing.

Yesterday we had christmas conference! It was a big meeting for all the missionaries. We had musical numbers, played games, and ate together. It was nice to see everyone.
We had about a 3-4 hour drive each way so that was, neat

On saturday we also had a wedding! It was really nice. The couple had been together for quite a while, but they finally sealed the deal and got married. Sooo many people (especially a lot of missionaries) were excited when they heard about it.

I'm doing alright! Tired, but alright!

Merry Christmas everyone, if you haven't already watched the Christ Child I invite you to watch it and think about how everything happened.
I love you all,
Talk to you soon,
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...

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...

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...
