P-Day update week 44, 12/19/2022

 ¡Hola a todos!


I'm super short on time this week, so I'll try and be super duper quick!

This week we had our first District council of the transfer, it was super good!! The companionship of Sisters in my district asked me if they could kinda take control for the day and it turned out amazing! They taught us about how to become more like Christ through trying to develop his attributes! They focused on this theme as they had us break a piñata that had little pieces of paper in them with a Christlike attribute that we had to define for the district, and explain how it can help those around us! It was super great and helped me a lot understand the importance of trying to become the most like Christ as I can!!

District council piñata!!

"Come Follow Me"

This week I did two divisions! Usually I only go on divisiones one time a week, but I did divisions with a companionship in the district and also the Zone Leaders! I'll be honest, usually I see great miracles on divisiones, but these two divisions were really rough! Both days that we had divisiones all our appointments fell through, so we just had to go and try to visit our friends, and no one opened up to us! We spent most of that time just walking around and visiting, we did a LOT of walking those two days, and I finished each just being so tired. But I have found to really like those types of days, if just for the fact that I feel at the end that I gave it my all! The days where all our lessons go through and we don't really have to fight for it are still great, even better most of the time! But there isn't anything like hitting the streets and coming home beaten up after trying your best and using all the energy you had! And that's what those two division days were like!

La carnita asada!

Due to my lack of time I am going to finish this letter off with bullet points!

-Service activity for brother in our ward who is from Colorado, carne asada after!

-Secret Santa gift exchange will take place this coming Saturday so we bought all our gifts and got them all wrapped up! It was nice to wrap some presents again!

-Really good meeting with our Facebook trainer! We learned a lot of new things we can do to make our ads better and more engaging! Get ready for January!

-Found a new friend named Gina who is really ready to hear the gospel!

-Our couple that needs to get married is finally almost done getting their papers together, hopefully they can be married and baptized in these coming weeks!

First wrapping session of the season!


Skinny little cat!

I'm sorry that's all I have for this week! It was a pretty normal week but I definitely had the chance to change! I have been studying a lot about humility this week, and as I've tried to apply it to my life, I can honestly see a great difference. Not just a difference in my thoughts, but a difference in the spirit I feel, I feel closer to God! It honestly feels like I have seen a great change in my heart and in my actions! This week I invite you ALL to strive for humility in all you do! We as humans can be very prideful, and sometimes we don't even realize that that's the problem in our lives! If you feel like you have pride, or are prideful, and that it is driving away from feeling the spirit of God, I invite you to repent and become better through the great and infinite atonement of Jesus Christ! He can and will make you better, but you have to take the first step! I love you all and I hope you have a great week!

-Elder Garnica

Hola a todos! Espero que hayan disfrutado mucho su semana y que hayan disfrutado mis correos!! Well well well, I don't know when this happened but we got to my last email. These past few weeks have been a little bit of the same but there are some cool experiences I wanted to share with y'all!! Amairany's baptism! First we finally finished all the house inspections in the mission! After three weeks and many many hours of traveling we visited the 68 different houses in the mission and made sure that everyone was living in good conditions and properly cleaning their home! We saw some really cool quite clean houses, and some very not cool very dirty houses, it was definitely an experience!! One of the coolest things is that with this trip I officially got to see every single area of the mission, from Teocelo in the south then to Cerro Azul 9 hours all the way to the north. I'm so grateful to have been assigned to the Mexico Xalapa Mission, it is the greatest mission on the ...

-Miracles (Doña pili, Francisca, y Elio fam) Muy buenas tardes a todos ustedes! Espero que hayan tenido unas semanas excelentes!! I know I haven't written an email in a couple weeks, but really there wasn't too much to talk about the last two weeks! We've been super busy running around doing a lot of administrative stuff, but this last week we had some really cool experiences!!! MTZ/TEZ Zone Conference! To start off, there us one thing I should mention that happened a few weeks ago, like you all know every month we have a MLC. We usually do one month in person here in Xalapa and one month on Zoom, this month it was on Zoom! We had been thinking a lot about what we wanted to do in the meeting, and we came up with a few different ideas! We talked a lot about how revelation works, specifically what our stewardship is. This came up due to our recent focus on Standards of Excellence, a certain number of new friends, lessons with members, church attendances, etc. That we should a...

It's been a week! Not necessarily a great week, but a week nonetheless! Not too much happened so it'll probably be a shorter letter this time. Before anything, I'll let you guys know that I was once again sick this week. This whole week I've been wrestling with a nasty cough and just really bad cold-like symptoms. One day I called the medical coordinator of the mission who is also the President's wife and asked for some advice. She told me it might just be allergies and prescribed me Benadryl at night. Unfortunately it didn't really work. So I just decided to hang on for a few days. This morning I woke up and I couldn't smell :// I went to the pharmacy with Elder Mendoza and we bought a Covid test, we also had an extra test result block thing. We headed home and I took the test. Oh, he got me! That's right folks I have COVID! So that's why I felt like death this week. That means I'm just going to have more time to study this coming week!  Positiv...
