HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!!
The first event of the summer was Joshua's birthday...CAN I JUST SAY I AM GLAD I AM A MEAN MOM AND ONLY DO FRIEND PARTIES FOUR TIMES! That was a WiLd and CrAzY two hours but a ton of fun! We had a carnival complete with dart throwing, face painting, cotton candy sno-cones and prizes. Joshua felt totally celebrated...and I don't think we need to worry about getting him any gifts as we had over 20 friends in attendance!!! YIKES!

Happy BIRTHDAY JOSHUA! I love and adore you. You add so much to our home. You have a lovable personality and always look for the good in life. If you don't like something you make a joke out of it so you can enjoy it anyway. You have a great smile that you use often to brighten my heart. You will go far in life and you are definitely an example for your mother to follow...I am so grateful my Heavenly Father blessed my life with you.

PICTURES TO COME...I need to downsize the file but Ava calls...hopefully it won't be another 4 months...

Hey guys! So this weeks definitely been a change. Its been quite a bit of a struggle. I'm wanting to help the people and dive right into the work, but its kind of hard to do that in a Spanish speaking mission and not being able to speak Spanish, and if the people don't let us help them. We are on the streets for about 3-6 hours a day trying to make contacts and find more people to teach with little or no success. Its definitely not been good for me. I like to feel like whenever I do something to see results, but I'm not seeing results and i was getting down pretty hard on myself. But i have to realize that i probably wouldn't stop and talk to someone out on the street that had a message about religion either, so with that in mind we are doing OK i guess. I just wish there was more i could be doing out here, but there's not much I can do without taking away their agency, and that's not what we are about. Well anyways like i said before my Spanish is ...

Octobre 28, 2019 Contacting and Catholics

By -
Hey all so this week has been exactly what the subject line says. A lot of contacting, all of which are Catholics. You might be thinking, "Elder Gunnell, everyone cannot be Catholics." And what I say to you is yes Everyone that we've talked to are Catholics. A really big change from everyone being a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints to Catholics, but it's pretty great. But yeah this weeks just been a lot of signs and English classes.  We had Zone conference this week and there was a lot about managing stress. Just different ways we can deal with it and get over it. And then president Hess talked about being all in to the work. FULL SEND!!! And he also was stressing a lot on the role that members have in missionary work. Missionary work is member centered, and missionary supported.  Someone that we picked up this past week came to church yesterday so that was a really big blessing. We were going to commit a family to baptism t...

Happy October  everyone! So....yeah into week 5 in the CCM and things have definitely gotten better hear. My fellow missionaries are starting to get into the missionary spirit now, especially my companion. I've been sharing little things with him here and there, but then yesterday our tarde maestro took him aside and talked to him for a little bit. He came back a little bit stuffy and was crying just a tad, and the way that he has coducted himself has been such an improvement. Hes definitely had a change in heart and decided to finally started his mission. Anyways. This week has been so full of spiritual messages and things that I've learned that I don't know where to begin.  The top thing that I've learned this week is that the first convert on our mission needs to be ourselves. We've been taught this the whole time that I've been here, but I didn't understand why until this week. When we are converted, we are trying to do everything we...
