This transfer flew by! We found out if we are getting transfered this Saturday😬 We didnt do much this week, My compa, Elder Hernandez got pretty sick. He came up with a sore throat and a lot of cough and runny nose😥 SO i had to take care of him a lot this week. It was weird for me, never had I had to take care of another perosn before like this before but as we are taught here in the mission we must love our companion as much as we love ourselves. We didnt leave the house much to proselyte or do anything. It was a really slow week for us or at least for me because we didnt get to work normally. I think Im getting sick but im trying my best to take care of myself as much as I can! This past Tuesday we had Zone Conference which is all the missionaries in our zone meet up and we teach eachother if that makes sense. It was pretty cool to meet all the missionaries in my zone. I have a lot of photos but I forgot my USB at the house, so I promise ill send them next week. Other than that, nothing really happened. Sorry for this boring weekly email. But i want to share a scripture with you all, and its found in Alma 26:12, "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." I just want to share my testimony. As it says in this verse, I know that I am nothing, I might be a big guy and everything but Im weak. But with Gods strength I can do anything. As you guys can see the world is getting more corrupt as time moves on but I know that theres peace in Christ. I know with his strength and as we follow the covenant path we will be blessed with many mighty miracles. Such as our familes, Im so grateful for the family that Heavenly Father gave me this life and all of the other surrounding families that have helped me get to where Im at today! Im so thankful for the Example Jesus Christ has set for me and so thankful for his love for each and every one of his brothers and sisters! I love you all so much! I share this testimony with love and gratefulness to you all in the name of Jesus Christ Amen! Hope you all have a great week and please be safe in everything you guys do!!! Youll be in my daily prayers!!!!

Hello Brothers and Sister whom I love, a lot of things have happened since the last time I emailed😬 sorry for not keeping you all in the loop! But here we go! First of all, I BAPTIZED AGAIN!!! Her name was Maria Esther, she was so wonderful! I found her in my very first transfer in Mexico with my trainer and we began to start teaching her the lessons! But her difficulty was that her ankle wouldn't let her walk or work so we decided to keep on teaching her and keep on giving her commitments to keep! So here came my 2nd transfer in the same area! As soon as I received my new companion we went to her house since I haven't seen her in a few weeks! She asked me if i could give her a blessing for health and strength. The very next day her ankle wasn't hurting her as much and the swelling had gone down dramatically! She knew it was because the blessing I gave her! We invited her to church so many times before when I was still in my training but she could never go because of her a...

First Letters Home

Elder Hugo Rodriguez 11-28-18 November 28, 2018 10-31-18 Hello Sister Blackburn, I arrived at the Provo MTC all well. Tell my mother that i love her with all my heart and I'm safe as can be. Also tell her that ill give her a call as soon as i can. I love you also. Things here are so different than just being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ out in the world. I'm filled with all these emotions but mostly just excited and nervous. Feeling a little sad that I left everybody. I'm sorry for not doing that video you wanted at the very end but i just couldn't do it. So just checking in with you all, meeting so many new elders and sisters it almost feels weird.

7-8-19 through 9-30-19

7-8-19 Hola mis amigos! This week was just a normal week, nothing really happened. This area is pretty hard, i feel like i dont have the confidence of all the members here, its the first time ive really felt like that here in the mission. Honestly I dont like the feeling at all, but what do I do when there hasnt been missionaries here working like they are supposed to for the past 6 months before i got here. The new mission president told me that im here for a reason and that i need to try my hardest to get that confidence back from the members. I am trying my hardest but i feel like im not going anywhere with it, and we all know that missionary work is ridiculously hard without the members help. Theres also another problem... the sisters in my district arent getting along well and yesterday they told me that they dont want to work together... and that they want to have special transfers. Since the first week of this transfer i noticed something wrong with them, i tried my hardest to w...
