Hey Everyone!

This week was awesome! We finally got pillows so I can sleep well!

We had tons of lessons and lots of good times! We have a bunch of great investigators and 3 people to be baptized over the next two Saturdays. I'm a bit short on time so I'll keep it shorter today, but we've had tons of great food, Elder Garza got his covid vaccine, and just had a good time honestly. So much happens I don't really know what to talk about haha. But I've been able to help lots more with lessons instead of just Elder Garza teaching the whole thing while I just nod.

But we had this guy we started teaching. The first lesson he brought his wife, the second lesson his wife and son were there, and the third lesson he brought his wife, son, 2 daughters, and nephew. So, we taught 6 people that time haha. And on that third lesson(yesterday) we taught them the restoration and got to share the Joseph Smith story and I felt the spirit so strongly and was able to share a good testimony in Spanish and help a bit with the lesson. That was definitely the highlight of the day.

And my favorite scripture of the week is Alma 29.9 which says "I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy." It helps me remember my purpose as a missionary and gives me comfort when it's hard, which is basically every day haha. But I'm doing great!

I bought some tools from this guy who sells tools on the side of the road so I could fix our bikes. An adjustable wrench and pair of pliers for $4. I wish all tools were that cheap! Then I fixed our bikes, which have lots of problems. I need a few more things to fully fix them but they're much better than they were before.

Anyways that's all for the week

Love, Elder Stevenson

 

Not sure what order the pictures are in, but there's some of food, some of the random peacocks our neighbor has, some of a cute dog we found, and some other stuff I think
