sewer crossings (Sept. 29, 2025)

pretty slow uneventful week out here. hope everything at home was exciting!! so much love and prayers to President Nelson and his family during this time. he will always be remembered and loved for everything he did for this church 🫶🏻

• this week was full of pretty slow days honestly. pretty normal week of finding, teaching, and baptizing. 
• i did get to play volleyball with the YSA so that was fun
• our area is a never ending adventure. this week even more roads became giant holes. so we may or may not have broken some rules trying to shimmy our way down a 10 foot wall of dirt to get to the other side of the road. we survived. 
• it also rained a ton this week so the streets were just rivers of sewer water. so we would just take our shoes off and walk barefoot. but there is also no power in our house so we can't wash our feet when we get home either. welcome to the jungle.

• someone that we were teaching a few months ago wrote us and told us to come over so we could talk about her wedding!! when we were teaching her, her husband didn't want to get married but now he does because he wants her to be able to get baptized🤭 lets goo! God has a plan 

jungle facts
• everyone here knows how to dance and they do it all the time, even the guys. and they are sooo good! i would love to learn but we aren't allowed to... 
• word of the week -> "poshceto" = a really really pale person.. i get this one a lot 

something spiritual 
"Thanks to the Atonement of Jesus Christ, if we obey and believe in the gospel, if we suffer for Christ and His word, if we give everything to His cause - we will become like Him and reign in everlasting glory." I've realized that we don't fully grasp the concept or understand what the Atonement of Jesus Christ really means. We can't understand how it saves us, but I know it does. He knows me perfectly. He felt it all. The fear, the pain, the homesickness jaja, the loneliness, the exhaustion, the frustration. The Atonement covers everything. Jesus Christ will never fail to give us strength and hope. He knows you and loves you perfectly! 

Love you much!

hello friends!! hope you are all doing well. BAPTISM WEEK for us!  *Cheysi got baptized on Tuesday! It was so so sweet and so special. she just started crying when she bore her testimony saying how much she knows this gospel is gonna change her life. ah she's the best  *we had a crazy miracleee. we were teaching a new convert and her great niece walked into the room and asked us what she needed to do to get baptized. and she came to church yesterday!!!  *saw a massive tarantula.. no thanks  *had sunday lunch w my favorite family ever! talked to them for like 3 hours straight, straight chisme (only good chisme)  *saw the light of Christ every single day :)  spiritual thought ->  "be a creator of your circumstances and not a creation" we all go through hard times. we all have trials, whether they be big or small but we get to choose what we do with it. we can choose to let it make us into better people or tear us down. with the help of Jesus Christ, t...
