Week 65 - October 7, 2019 "McAllen Texas Temple!!!!"

This week was LIT!
I don't know if I mentioned this but I'm actually going to be staying here in this area for this next transfer. This will have been 7.5 months here and it has gone by so fast. I thought I was leaving but I guess I haven't learned everything I need to here:)

This week we worked on preparing the emergency kits for the mission. That was fun. We bought so much stuff for 90 kits that everyone in the store was just looking at us hahah. 

WE'RE GETTING A TEMPLE IN MCALLEN!
Too hyped to come back here for the temple dedication one day. 

With the work, things are good! The Cavazos came to church and are looking good to be baptized the 20th of October. They're a blessing. So happy for them. Ivan Huizar also is doing good he's a little 10 year old who moved here with his family from Guadalajara who's not baptized. He's such a sweet little kid but definitely has a lot of questions. We hope he will be baptized this month. Camilo is another person we're teaching who just moved here from Monterrey. He seems super interested right now.. Other than that were going to keep finding and I think things are starting to look up in our area. It's exciting and I sure love this work. 

General Conference is literally SO SWEET as a missionary. It's by FAR one of the most special experiences I've had on my mission. We preach to people all day about these prophets and apostles and to be able to sit down, ponder, and listen to their precious words is like being a little kid at the candy store. I'm honestly sad that I will only be able to watch one more general conference on my mission. On the 19th of this month, Elder Soares the apostle is coming to our mission! SO SWEET!

Love you guys and hope all is well!
