Dec. 26th - BELIZE NAVIDAD!

Belize Navidad!!!
What's up everybody? I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, to me Christmas has always been the best season. Don't take this time of year for granted because a lot of times we lose track of what it truly means, or just slow to remember. 
Well, Elder M and I had a very white Christmas meaning we were dressed in white!!!  Oh yeah Belize dat!!...R and M got baptized. (check the pics below) I know they may look ticked,  but trust me they were all smiles after. They just don't like taking pics..idk why? 
I baptized R and Elder M baptized M...it was SICK! They were confirmed yesterday as well, so it's official they are MEMBERS! They are awesome and they have goals to be sealed in the temple. That's awesome. I wish you guys were there to see...they are the best! 
Well, yesterday as you know we all Skyped the family and it just so happens my family is in CANCUN Mexico and they showed me the view of the beach from their hotel.  I was jealous but not too bad because I'm on my own island and own world doing the Lord's work, so the jealousy thought didn't last long!  
My family is the same as alway...same sense of humor always! It was good to talk to them...it's good to laugh, but I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. hahaha. They are  great. I loved their Mexico pics. 
Well, yesterday we went on splits with a return missionary who was here 2 years ago..it was cool to go with him to visit some people he had visited.  They loved seeing him come back...it's something I want to do after the mission...come back and visit. The island is amazing as always.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas (ya filthy animals) and a happy new year!! 2K17 is gonna be lit...I can't wait to see what happens. I have grown so much in 2K16...I can't believe we are starting a new year the time flies. Take care and remember the Savior who lives and blesses us daily.

Dec. 19th - GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS!

Broddas and Sistas,


This week was super dope! Because ya know....am on a Island!!!! Right now the weather is perfect with the temperature in the mid 80s and a slight breeze....perfect.!!! So if any of you guys send me pics of you playing in the snow, I'm not going to feel so bad hahaha. But for real this week was balling...I have a ton to write about. 
Firstly, we had a Multizone with President and all the zones in Belize, so that means it was another chance to see all the homies. I have some pics. The Multizone was very spiritual because Pres. is a spiritual giant. He knows how to invite to spirit so well. He talked a lot about "Obedience", and how it is important to always be worthy in situations where our Priesthood Power needs us to act. That applies to me a lot. We need to always be worthy because we just never know. After the meeting we had to stay over the night with the AP's and the zone leaders....SLEEP OVER!! It was super fun because it was Me, Garfield, and Rigby catching up on old times. 
The next day we had a zone conference and President was there with us and we spoke about what we can do better and some things we can change....he said, " We are doing good, but we can't do the same things we have already done...because every moment is different."  We talked about some small things that can improve on and after the meeting he bought us all pizza and coke!!!  Yeah, BEHBAY...NUTTIN BETTA!  We all had like 5 slices...I'm getting fat! 
Afterwords me and Elder Garfield went on interchanges to the island to do the Baptismal interview with R. and M...and they passed.!!! They are so excited to get baptized on the 22nd of Dec.,this Thursday. SO EXCITED. Its about time this couple got baptized hahaha...we are so excited for them. 
But interchanges with Garfield was a blast...we caught up on old times about the MTC...and our first zone together in training, ahh good times! He is my zone leader and its a fun to joke with him on the phone when we put in numbers. We sometimes try to speak in Kriol and its hilarious. 
Also Sunday was cool, we had some tourist from Idaho and Nevada, not from Utah...thats a first, hahaha! They were cool. I think Momma got the email because he sent from his phone a pic of us in front of the church. Idk. He didn't invite us to lunch or dinner so I was bummed, hahaha...no jk!! But other than that, that was my week pretty ballin eh?

Love you and can't wait to talk to ya on Christmas day!!!!

Dec. 5th - PEACIN OUT...NOT QUITE YET!!

HEY,

What's up everybody... how's the snow??  Or is there even snow that has fallen yet?  All I know is that its a fresh mid 80's here in San Pedro....nice!  Not a cloud in the sky and a little breeze to cool ya off.....perfect! (Sorry for all you beach lovers out there...I had too) But how's it going? 
I know i have already written you guys on Wednesday but this week was super good.  We found out changes last night and I found out that I will be staying here with Elder Merida for another change here in San Pedro 2, BALLIN!  I was pretty stoked to know that I will be staying with my comp...we are gonna work extra hard this change because that means the Lord wants us to find someone to bring in. And plus R. and M. can be baptized!  Their date is on the 18TH of this month. "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas baby'! R. is doing awesome...he hasn't been drinking for about a week which has been great.  He and his wife M. came to church and the Christmas Devotional last night...they loved it. Not so much the talks but the choir... R. hates sitting in a chair for more than 10 mins hahaha! 
Yesterday in church we had 2 investigators in church and 6 tourists from Utah! One of them actually is the 1st counselor in the Tijuana Temple in Mexico and he is here on vacation....super cool people.  In the 2nd hour of church I taught about The Second Coming Of Christ...it was super good.  We talked about how we need to prepare the best we can so we don't get destroyed!  In the 3rd hour, Elder Richards and I taught the young men on serving missions.  At first, they said, "no".  But after Elder Richards and I shared stories and how its blessed us... they want to.  But they want to serve in L.A, or Vegas....ehhh!  Well thats a start hahaha!  But they are awesome...the branch is tiny but humble in every way. I love it here and I can' t wait to accomplish more and more things here in this part of the Lord's kingdom.!!

Love you guys more than you know!!
