First Mistake as a 20 Year Old- Week 46 (1/27/2020)

Elder Reginato and Elder Fonseca


Wow, where do I begin.
Sorry for not sending an email last week! I got a little distracted haha.
Also. I'm 20! Crazy crazy.

These past 2 weeks we've had a lot of fun! -We had my birthday dinner
-we had elder fonseca's birthday dinner
-elder fonseca got emergency transferred
-I got a TON of packages (thank you all so much I love you guys, I'm going to try and write you all letters back? We'll see haha)
-we set 5 baptismal dates for this month (woot woot)
-we had an exchange
-I threw up (again)
-i slept on the floor
-I am the undefeated Egyptian Ratscrew champion of the mission.
-we went to a fair! There were a ton of animals it was awesome.
-we are five guys again (awesome)
(awesome)
-I had my birthday!
-we visited a TON of people!
-Ivy got baptized!!!!! (I dont remember if I've already talked about that but it was so awesome I'll mention it AGAIN.)
-and MORE but I dont remember it all haha.

I'm having a great time!
Out working hard, out playing (less hard because I'm tired haha), but I'm most importantly out here learning.
I recieved a book on the temples a few days ago and I'm almost done. I've loved it so far! It's such a blessing to have temples and to be able to make sacred promises in them.
Whenever I teach about commandments I like to help people understand that, "when we receive a commandment, it's a way to receive a blessing! When you make a COVENANT, it's even BETTER because the Lord PROMISES He will give you those blessings if you just do your part, and then He gives you some extra ones too."

I'm old! 20. Geez I feel it in my joints. (Hahaha)
But I hope you all have a great week! Be safe and have fun and shoot me a message if you want to talk! Even HEMI just messaged me back so I know y'all can do it.
Love,
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...
