Hello Everyone! It’s me again! These past past weeks have been pretty good! 

Start off General Conference was awesome!! Loved every bit of it! It's crazy they announced 20 new temples!! And one in cache valley! 

We have been knocking doors like crazy recently and I can tell you how truly not affective it is… But I know the Lord is hastening his work in many other ways! Especially during a pandemic!  

We have been struggling to stay in contact with Yuli because she works so so much. Her cousin recently passed away which was super sad to hear about and because she's been working so much we haven’t had time to talk to her because if she's not working she’s sleeping. But we are going over to her trailer to help paint this week! Keep her in your prayers for me!

José… This man fell off the face of the earth for about a week and completely ignored us. But we went over to his house to give him cinnamon rolls to see if he was there and he was! We set up a time to stop by the next day.  We brought a member with us and the lesson was super good!  We took him off date to focus more on our relationship with him because I think we were pushing too hard. But he’s an awesome guy and will be put on a date soon!

Mercedes!  This lady loves to talk hahaha! We try to make our visits 30 minutes but it always ends up way over… She also had a cousin pass away and this was super cool for me.  I had gone into the lesson thinking ok we are gonna teach her lesson 3 (The Gospel of Jesus Christ)  and put her on date! But we completely changed what we were going for and taught the plan of salvation!

I’m still here in Port Arthur and I still love being a missionary! Our branch had an activity and we got to go fishing! We caught like 6 flounder but had to put them back because they were just under 14 inches sadly. I also been asked by a few people about mexico but I still haven’t heard anything but wouldn’t be surprised if I leave here in the next couple months!

I was studying in Matthew this week and I’m just gonna share what I'm going to share on facebook so here it is!

18 ¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently and have wondered how can I become a better disciple of Jesus Christ. In these verses it says they dropped their nets and followed Him.  I think of the nets as things preventing us from "following him". This also made me think about what I would leave behind to follow Jesus Christ, to become a true disciple of Jesus Christ. We need to be able to drop our "nets" and follow Him no matter the circumstance. If we are sincere in our desires to follow him we can escape the things holding us back. We can find peace and happiness through our Heavenly Father and savior Jesus Christ!
