Hello Hello! This week has been crazy awesome!!! We’ve been staying super busy and boy its been hotter than hot this week. its been like mid 90’s but with the humidity it feels like 105. Its pretty rough haha.
To start off the week we got to hear from Elder Allioud in person with the whole mission in one chapel! It was awesome!! He has also given a talk in General Conference which you should all go listen to it’s awesome! I also got to hear from him 3 times this week. Once over zoom, once at zone conference, and once at stake conference (Once in spanish, twice in english)! He is hilarious! Full of a lot of jokes and has much wisdom! My favorite part about hearing from him was at zone conference with the whole mission. The spirit was so strong and I got to see all my friends! We also sang the efy medley and man it had me in tears(I’m a cry baby hahah)… but it’s ok because I saw Pres and Elder Allioud crying as well. After the conference they said that they agreed “there isn’t a finer group of young men and women in the world then the Texas Houston East Mission.” The spirit was so strong this week I absolutely have loved every second of it and won’t ever forget this experience! In that session he said “Turn your doubts into questions and wait in faith.” And I mean that’s pretty simple but I loved it! It reminded me of what Elder Uchtdorf once said “Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith.”. Then at stake conference he said “we need to learn the language of the Gospel, it’s not english, it’s not spanish, it’s the Holy Ghost.” I definitely need to be better listening to the Spirit. I was reading in Helaman this week and I loved this verse that says “Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.” Recently I have been trying to do what that last part says about yielding my heart to God. Giving God my all. And I’ve just realized that’s all he asks for! crazy huh? He asks for our best, and to strive to become more like the Savior! I can testify that trials are hard! But I love my trials, because I get to look back at them and say wow I really did learn something super important from that or somehow I can see God’s hand in it all. So I want to invite you all to yield your hearts to God, give him everything you’ve got! I promise you will feel closer to your Heavenly Father more than ever before!
This week has been kinda slow with the finding and teaching but we’ve been doing our best. Darwin had his baptismal interview but had to cancel it because he was in the hospital but he is doing good now and will have the interview later this week so please pray for him and that the interview will go good! We haven’t had any contact with the Martinez family they’ve been super busy but hopefully we can get a lesson set up. We had a super cool little miracle happen this week!! We were driving around and saw a Goat tied up in someone’s yard and I was like yo we should take a pic with that Goat and then kinda didn’t do anything about it and kept driving then one of the elders was like go back let’s do it! So I turned around and we went back and asked the Person if we could take a picture with their goat and they said sure! Then we got out of the car and went over and started talking to them, and they didn’t speak hardly any english. They spoke spanish! We got talking for a while and set up a time to stop by and share a message tomorrow! Just by asking to take a pic with a goat! #goated. That’s about how my week was! We played soccer and boy with the heat I’ve never sweated that much in my entire life hahaha. But just gotta love texas!
Love you all hope you had a great week! As always shoot me an email I’d love to hear from you guys!
