 A couple of months ago one of my old buddies Josh Brunson challenged me to share my testimony in 6 words, I never did it because I didn’t really want to post on Facebook, but it seems pretty convenient now that I’m a missionary. My 6-word testimony is…

God knows what’s best for me.
Today in class we talked about who God is, and the nature of him, we were asked to find scriptures that answered these two questions. The two scriptures I found were in 2 Nephi 9: 20, and 1 John 4: 19.
These two scriptures represent my 6-word testimony perfectly. I know that God knows what’s best for me, this is something I’ve come to understand more completely these past few months. It’s hard to put all your trust in someone else, especially when you can’t see them. But as I’ve come to know my Heavenly Father and the love that he has for me, I truly know and understand that he knows what’s best for me and his plan is the one I’m going to follow. I am so thankful Heavenly Father loves me enough to give me trials, to help me grow, and to become more like him. My trials aren’t over yet, I still have a lot more things to learn, but I know that if I put my faith in God I can get through them!

Let's gooooo - February 7, 2022

 Alright, it's been a while since I've sent an email, I'm not gonna lie, I've been having a rough time with an android phone. This email was actually supposed to send about 3 weeks ago, but I legit haven't had wifi in 3 weeks. So emails haven't been an option lately haha. But it'd alright. My Spanish is getting a ton better and I can somewhat have conversations with people, it's really fun to see how much better and more fun missionary work gets as soon as you can start talking and communicating with people. Because I'm not going to lie, when I first got here, I zoned out during every lesson and could hardly talk to anyone, missionary work was a drag and it was just hard. But as soon as my Spanish started to improve, the excitement to wake up and get out and working everyday skyrocketed. Just have to be patient I guess. Patience is definitely something I've been learning while being out here.  I had exchanges with my District leader in his area i...

  Dear Parents of the Santo Domingo East Mission, due to the rapid spread of the current version of COVID, the missionaries of the Santo Domingo East Mission will be working from home through technology for a few days in a semi-quarantine. We have some missionaries with the virus, but they're all fine, their symptoms are minor. In a few days everything will return to normal.      Thank you all for your prayers, your support and we look forward to continuing serving in this great and wonderful work.

DR Life 12-20-2021

  It's been a crazy first week, my companion is Elder Fairbanks, he's pretty dope. He's a pretty big guy and is fluent in Spanish cuz he lived in Perú for 3 years before the Mish, he's actually younger than me. In my first 15 minutes in my new area there was a 16 year old kid in the middle of the street, naked as can be, dancing and leaving nothing to the imagination. So that was a weird first night. I probably shouldn't have said that in an email but it's alright. Here in the DR the people are so nice and welcoming, it is a 3rd world country so the people are very humble and amazing. Our apartment has no AC, not hot water, no carpets, you can't drink the water. But we do have a water filter so I feel very fortunate haha. Almost everyone has a motorcycle. Almost all of our lessons are outside on the street infront of their house, so we usually have to stop the lesson every 5 seconds because someone is popping a wheelie past us on their motorcycle. People als...
