March 3-March 10, 2026 Week 36-Coihueco Branch, Coihueco

hola a todos que tal? 

another great week 

Hope you all are doing well! Feel free to email me. I always read and enjoy to hear from y'all 

first off after writing this i want to apologize to all people above the age of 20.  I promised myself I wouldn't speak in the young people jargon. I'll be better next week. Repentance is real. I'm deeply sorry. 

quick stuff

-in terms of missionary language during zone council there was like a list of slang words that we can't say now, and like president is saying we just strive not to use slang. 

I'm cooked bro, 

but like I'm dialed in in Spanish but english is hard

(no podemos decir bro ni bakan) (we can't say bro or cool)

-we got transfer news. I'm staying in coihueco with elder louder to finish his training. I'm excited. should be tuff

- played paddle this pday. shoutout elder Abrams and elder Paulson. it was awesome. after the other elderes left I played the girl behind the front desk at the Paddle place. she taught me the real rules of paddle (we were playing the scoring and stuff like pickleball)

-had interviews with president. got some spiritual knowledge . he congratulated me on the 3 baptisms we had last month and the lots of church attendance. #solounherrimientoenlasmanosdedios

-our friend Jose, the guy I had the opportunity to baptize, passed the sacrament for the first time. he and his mom have temple recommends and are going to the temple this month!!!'

-had some fire lessons this week with the recent converts, especially with the 4 people I helped to be baptized here in coihueco. 

-gave a talk in church about the holy ghost

Last 2 paragraphs buckle up

our friend axel

we had always talked to this one guy named axel. he's like 30. he had come to church like 20 times as a kid.  he was like "I'm your neighbor. I'm going to talk to my wife to see if y'all can come and share with us." we saw him like 2 days later and she said no, we couldn't come over. after that we just talked to him for a little bit everyone once in a while. that was with elder Jensen last transfer. flash forward this transfer. we were knocking the doors in our neighborhood,  and we found a lady that was like 50 who wanted us to come over the next day. we got to the crib and apparently her husband is axel. I guess bro likes cougars. (his wife just like my sister Katie fr) But they are both very interested, and their crib is soooooo nice. An axel is actually my goat. 

 Last week during church we went to the youths Sunday school cuz they asked us to share about the obra misional. I loved that class a lot. the teacher hermano sierra my goat talked about Abraham and how he was ALWAYS faithful and had faith that God was going to cumplir (fulfill no se (know). english is dumb) the promise in his time. it was an awesome lesson, he talked about how Abraham remained faithful and how we should too because he went through everything and still had faith that God was going to fulfill his promise. 

This makes me think of one of my favorite quotes from jeffery r holland: "some blessing come soon, some blessings come late, and some blessing don't come until heaven, but for those that embrace the gospel of Jesus christ, they come."

I love this. We as humans have a human mindset and not an eternal perspective. It's hard, and it's hard to when we have righteous desires, and God isn't blessing us with what we want to have. it is also hard when we seem not to know everything. 

I would say read mosiah 4:9. 

Believe in God and know that He knows more than us, and all that we have to do is have faith. 

well that is enough yappage for this week 

goals for this next week:

lock in on my exercises

let and help my comp speak 50/50 street and lessons (max difficultly) 

-^practices for comp study

-memorize Moroni 10:4-5 in spanish

i just felt like putting those there

Have a great week
