It's been a great week! Nothing too exciting has happened... Well, besides FINDING TEACHING AND BAPTIZING!!! The zone is still pretty pumped from the previous week, so hopefully we can keep the fire going strong. It is an honor to serve alongside them all. SO! Our investigators.     Our closest one to baptism is probably Isaura Mendez. She called us about two weeks ago out of the blue. We had no idea who she was. She told us that some English elders had given her our number and called us because she was looking for Spanish speaking missionaries. So we went and saw her and she instantly started crying and asked if God exists. We bore testimony that he does in fact exist and that He Lives!! We invited her to get baptized after our second lesson and she accepted. We are just waiting to set a date because she hasn't come to church yet. WHY WON'T PEOPLE JUST COME TO CHURCH. It's frustrating sometimes.      We found Uriel this week. He is so solid!! We went to visit a...

It has been probably one of the best weeks of my mission thus far!!! It started out pretty upsetting because the zone's numbers last week were absolutely terrible!!! They were at an all time low. In total (20 missionaries, or 10 companions) only found 3 new investigators. So Elder Lundrigan, the other ZL, and I met up and talked. We planned a Zone training meeting which we had Tuesday. We discussed with the zone about how we felt, and then asked for their input. We asked what was going on and where everyone's focus was. We asked if they had faith, and if they knew what it meant to have faith and then use it. I was super nervous because we needed to be bold in a loving way, without overbearance. Well, everyone accepted it really well!! We all agreed that we could do a whole lot better. And he did!! This week as a zone, we found 50 NEW INVESTIGATORS!!! And we now have 9 baptismal dates!!!! We went from 3 to 50 new investigators in one week. Everyone is on board and they're lo...

Buenas días mis amigos y familia! Espero que todo esta magnifico.     I hope everyone had an amazing mothers day and told their mothers how much they love and appreciate them! I know I do. My mom is everything to me!! I love her beyond belief. Without our dear mothers, we are nothing.     It has been a crazy week!! We've been so incredibly busy. I wasn't in my area much this week due to exchanges, but great things still happened in Sunnyvale!      On Tuesday I went on an exchange with Elder Delgado, one of the District Leaders. He's from Peru!! He's such a stud and a great leader. I learned so much from him.     On Wednesday I went on exchanges with Elder Black, one of the assistants. I was in his area for the day. WOW I LEARNED SO MUCH. He's an incredible missionary. He was the assistant that picked me up from the airport so it was really cool to go on a 24 hour exchange with him. We had some really cool experiences together! Throughout the ...

I love Sunnyvale so much!! We're in the middle of Silicon Valley. There's always so much going on here. We have the coolest area ever!! Just a few minutes away is GOOGLE HEADQUARTERS!! We do service there and sometimes get to eat there for dinner because a member that we know works there. We're always super busy!!     So we had two investigators at church yesterday! Once in our Spanish ward and another in the YSA ward. I love both of the wards so much, they're so awesome. Both have great leadership and love missionary work. We're always busy covering two wards but it's a blessing to always have something to do. Sundays are insane due to 6 hours of church and other meetings but I love it! There is no greater feeling coming home and just dropping from being so exhausted.  When I first came into the area, it was kinda dead. So elder Van and I are working hard to change that. We are doing a lot of rescue work visiting a lot of less-active work, especially in the YSA...
