Surprise Call

(New Missionaries entering the Mexico City MTC on October 22, 2019) Today we were driving home along I-80 when our phones started ringing simultaneously.  It was Mitchell calling!!!  We quickly pulled over and answered the phone.  Since Mitchell's group did not get a P-day this week, they were granted a few hours on Saturday to do P-day stuff.  It had only been 4 days since we last talked to him, but it was music to a mothers ears.  He reported that his companion is Elder Smithson from Mapleton Utah.  He has learned more Spanish in the 4 days he has been at the MTC than in all the years he sat in class at school.  He sleeps on the bottom bunk of a 2 bedroom home that houses 4 American missionaries in his room and 4 native speaking missionaries in the other room.  Elder Bowen of the Seventy gave a devotional there this week.  He is happy and working on speaking more to those around him.  As we spoke to him, he would temporarily halt ...

Tucson Arizona Mission

Mitchell received his re-assignment to the Tucson Arizona Mission. He departed Salt Lake City today and safely arrived in his new mission. He is excited to get back out and serve the Lord.   ————————————————————————————————————————— Dear loved one,   Your missionary has arrived and we are so pleased and excited for the work that lays ahead. President and Sister Grisel welcomed them and provided them with training and orientation to get them adjusted to the new mission.  Those who are newer missionaries have been assigned experienced trainers.  Those who have been reassigned from previous missions due to COVID have picked up where they left off and are up and running already.   Thank you for all that you have done and will do to support these missionaries as they now work to serve God’s children and bring them the light and the promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ.   Warm regards,   President and Sister Grisel

Bye to the Border

  Hey guys. This week was interesting we spent most of our time preparing for Leisa's baptism that is today. Its going to be awesome. Shes older and has some health problems so it going to be a cool baptism because I'll be baptizing her with the help of my companion because she's older and can't bend too well and there are some other health concerns as well. So its going to be the first baptism I've seen like that and I'll be a part of it. Which is cool. She been meeting with the missionaries for 40 years and she's finally getting baptized which is awesome.  Also Epifañio (the other guy who was supposed to be baptized this week) he was in the hospital with some heart problems and is waiting for a covid test so we haven't been able to meet with him in person but we have been able to call him and pray with him and he said as soon as he was feeling better he is going to go to church and continue with the lessons so he can be baptized. This week was a good o...
