The End of An Era- Week 36 (11/11/19)




Well. Tomorrow is transfers. I'm staying here in La Joya with my son, which is going to be great.
Elder Ferguson is being banished to Kingsville, which sucks, but hey that's where the Lord needs him!
President Ocampo is really cracking down and making sure the leadership is really obedient, so, 
on the list of things I'm not excited for, 
1. That.

This week was fun though. We did a lot of stuff, so I'll just be going in bullet point form to list them lol:
lol:
-I are kidney for the first time this week! Not sure what was worse: the knowledge that I was eating kidney or the kidney itself.
-I went to court! (I wasnt in trouble.) We were supporting someone who we were teaching... it was fun though!
-ummm we finally had some success picking some people up! Finding new people to teach has been a little bit of a struggle.
-Im getting good at chess!!!!!!!!!!!
chess!!!!!!!!!!!
-I can also shuffle and bridge a deck of cards really well now.
-We helped clean out a few houses this week too! Yay, service
-speaking of service I got to cut a path through some trees with a small pair of pruning shears. It was a lot of cutting, but it was fun.

Well, thanks everyone! I miss you all, and I know that even though life isnt easy, we can all keep going. 
Keep learning.
When in doubt, turn to the teachings of the Prophets.
Best of luck,
-Elder Reginato

Oh yeah.
And I got my nails painted.

And we visited a graveyard, whoops, forgot about that.
(We found some old people though)

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...
