WEEKLY UPDATE #15

"Tree of Life"

August 14, 2017

"Hey everyone! This week was super good and really busy. There were a lot of spiritual experiences this last week and we've found even more people to teach. My Spanish is getting really good with speaking but as I work on my accent and rolling my Rs I struggle just a little, but littly by little I know my Spanish will be perfect and that's my goal. I've noticed the better I get with my Spanish the faster time goes by. Unfortunately another missionary from my District at the CCM went home so that makes only 4 of us now. I know that some things happen for a reason. Anyways, I don't have much time. Love you all!"

Pictures of Elder Serrano and Elder McDonald getting their eat on... Davis got slightly sunburned:

I sent Davis a quote from Neil T. Anderson, "We don't serve God to gain His acceptance, we are accepted, so we serve God. We don't follow Him to be loved; we are loved, so we follow Him. It is not what we do that determines who we are; it is who we are that determines what we do." He responded saying, "We had a Zone conference with the President last Thursday and one of the things he told us was when you've tried everything and you don't know what to do ASK GOD! And I completely agree." 

From my email from Davis:

"My new area is super nice were in a safe neighborhood and our house has air conditioning and everything. We can go door to door but the president prefers we don't. I think that's really only an american mission thing. The Spanish is coming along great all the time people ask me how long I have here and I'm like a few months and they always say wow you have really good Spanish for only that long! I can have conversations with people without asking Serrano too many questions. Most of the time they're surprised haha. Yes I still think its like 100 degress. We've eaten at some really good local places here and today we ate Wendys at a mall in our zone hahaha. We went to play soccer in some turf arena today which was super fun."
