-Gira misional (mejoró cada vez, viajar con Elder Montoya, conocí el norte, aprendí muchas cosas) Buenas tardes a todos!! Hello! I hope everyone has had a great week! I wasn't able to send an email out last week, I lost my 91 weeks streak, but here I am again with a summary from the last two (very full) weeks! Our gifts for Mari So to start our our week last week we had our weekly office meeting on Monday. We try to make the meeting simple and efficient so we can all talk about our different assignments and how we can coordinate ourselves that week to complete our duties! When I was in the offices last year, the meetings were very simple and they were very reverent, focused on results and helping President. But throughout the course of the last year or so some things have changed and a lot of that office etiquette has been lost, and my companion and I saw a great need to talk with them and have an "office training". We ran our ideas by President and he gave us the green l

Hola hola!! Once again I find myself cut for time so let's jump right into this! -We said goodbye to the missionaries in their last transfer, it was very sad! Especially saying goodbye to our companion Elder Buer :/  -The same day that we left the Champions at the airport we picked up 22 new missionaries! -We picked up the missionaries a very different times, one at 10:00, six at 13:50, two at 19:46, and thirteen at 22:11!  -The last group was the hardest because from the airport to Xalapa its about two hours so we got there at 00:30 and had to unpack their stuff and get home which after it was all said and done we got to bed at around 01:30! -We now have another companionship of Sisters here in the area so there can be missionaries when we're not here, they're working super hard and it's awesome to see the success they've been having in just that past couple days! They're called Hermana Solano who is training Hermana Twitchell! -Honestly we didn't have time

Buenas tardes a todos!! I'm running low on time today so I'm going to have to put just some quick bullet points! The two misioneros I trained and Elder Prescott, one of my "grandsons" in the mission -We did Audits during all the Interviews in the zones of Xalapa and Macuilteptl. It took the whole day one Zone so we spent a lot of time at President's house this week! -We had our Zone Conference! It's weird because we already know and have seen what President and Hermana Villanueva talk about and of course what we talk about but we had some really good classes from the Zone Leaders and the Sister Training Leaders! Also one of my old companions Elder Galvez sang an awesome special musical number with another sister in his Zone, they sang Savior Redeemer of My Soul in Spanish and English! -We received a lot of references from social media and other people this week and we found some new people!! I'll mention briefly Genina and Fabby. They are two women that li

 Muy buenas tardes mis queridos compas!! This has been an awesome week here in Lagos! We've had basically the whole week here in the area so we were able to get a lot of work done and have some really cool experiences!! Elder Morales, Elder Moreno, and me during the MLC So to start off let's talk about our MLC. Now I've mentioned the MLC (Mission Leadership Council) before, but this time I got to take part from the other side of the council! So my companions and I have been thinking about things we can prepare to share with the Zone leaders. My companions reminded me of a talk from Elder Marc Bragg where he talks about Christlike Leadership. We talked a lot about how much we love that talk and we decided to tell President that we wanted to give our training about that! We were able to talk with President about it while we ate with him, that day they invited us over to eat and we had a great conversation about the mission and the missionaries and a lot of things! It's ve
