YOOOO whats good!! This gonna be real short and real sweet I got a call from president and long story short he told me I am not going to Peru anymore and he asked the brethren to keep me here in this mission and the brethren said on hood and no. PERU ON HOOD. BAMA ON HOOD. I got reassigned to Chile Santiago South so that's what's good. One of my very good friends from Fort Payne got baptized this week and it was so HYPE! Pres gave the approval for me to go and it was just the most amazing thing ever. This gospel is true. The work been going so good. We just been grinding. Its been awesome. Gods been good. One of the ladies we are teaching got kicked out of her house by her husband because she came to church and has been getting taught by us. So that was an L. Then through the week she told us that she probably wouldn't be able to pull up to church no more. And then she texted us Sunday morning and she flippin came!! It was so sick. Go tell your mother ...

What's good everyone! I hope you are all doing well! It's insane how it's already June, my mind can't even wrap my head around how fast time is going and I already know I'm gonna blink and summer months are gonna be over. We just been grinding our tails off out here and it's so hype I love hearing about whats going on with all of you guys and appreciate all the messages you send me, I know I'm awful at responding but they are highly appreciated. I usually respond back on messenger pretty good This week was pretty fire and I'll hit you all with the highlights real quick We had a crazy insane spiritual lesson a couple days ago. There's this little family in the branch and the dad wants to get baptized so he can baptize his kid next April. He's been in and out of so many churches and he's finally decided to open up and take some lessons. He's white and speaks English too so thats a W. Anyways long story short we had a fire lesson about the B...

  Yooooo!!! What the flip is up everyone. Hope you all are doing so amazing This week was CRAZYYYYYYY! There was so many sick things that happened but I'll tell yall a couple to keep it short So we had English class Saturday, and we'll always do a spiritual thought at the end. Our spiritual thought was a church tour and we took them around and had them sit in the chapel and we just testified of the sacrament and coming to church and the spirit was goin BRAZYYYY. There was 10 people that showed up to the class and we were hoping a couple of them would pull up to church. Anyways sunday morning legit 5 of them pulled up and some of them brought their friends and it was just nuts. The testimony meeting was crazy as well, one of the youth who's like 16 got up and was just bawling his eyes out, I couldn't really understand much cuz spanish but he was just talking about how crap gets hard and God always has our back. And then after some dude came up to us and said "what d...

Yo what is good everyone!? It's absolutely absurd how fast time be moving out here its genuinely insane. This work fr gotta be one of the best things to be doin rn!! There has been some absolutely crazy miracles this week but I'll share one. We was just mobbin around a part of the area we don't really work that much cuz of miles, but we stopped for a potty break and I looked at my companion and said "bro we gonna catch a miracle today, we gonna expect one ight?" And literally we drive to the person we had in mind to see and they weren't home so we just knocked around and hoped there were some Hispanics living in the houses and the first house we knock on, it's a little Hispanic lady, we say whats good,  long story short so I don't bore all of yall, but this lady was baptized and endowed with her husband (she was nowhere to be found on our area book) who legit was on his deathbed in the other room, she kept saying she wanted to go get someone and then e...

(sorry so late, forgot to send on monday) yo what the flip is good everyone!! I haven't been too good at sending these emails and i aint gonna lie and say that im sorry but just been mad procrastinating. I got transferred back up north to huntsville and been runnin all that spanish work up here. Our branch president is from peru and served in the same mission Im gonna be going to hopefully soon. Its absolutely nuts what God has been doing up here. My new companion is an absolute dawg. He was best buddies with elder Hilderman (one of the dawgs in the MTC district) and its just crazy! We goin nuts! Been some crazy miracles here already! We whitewashed in so we really had no clue what we were doing but God just been giving miracles out left and right. We were like 4 miles away from our car and just runnin up all these contacts that havent been talked to and we got attacked by a red wasp and just took off runnin. We got away and just hit up a couple other people that didnt answer and s...

  Yo what's good, hope all is going well!  We ran some exchanges and they always so hype. I gotta stay in my area and run up all the Spanish work. It was absolute nuts. The first couple teachings were complete trash. But it was insane, after the first couple, they were still trash but words were just flowing out of my mouth. The gift of tongues is dope and it was a huge testimony builder for me.  Pres also wants me to get my tiwi card, so now I'll be able to drive here. Lowkey super grateful for that cuz man, there has been probably 10 near death experiences with just a couple elders and there lack of driving and focus ability This gospel is so good, don't got much time but I love you all Tell your momma you love her!!
