Hello guys and welcome back to another weekly message home. I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and taking advantage of all this free time...

So I think I need to explain the title a little more (A Branch Well Run) because it was such an interesting morning. So it all begins with our morning yesterday for Sunday. Getting ready we were a little slow and that meant a little late to church. Only about 5 min late, but as we arrived turns out they hadn't even started. This is because the President of the Branch was not in town, in fact he was 5 hrs away and didn't tell anyone. And so was his second counselor. So we planned the whole church as it was running and we led. What a fun interesting way to start Sunday right??

Other than that not much happened, oh wait except for Christmas... but I guess we didn't do much for that either other than eat and eat and eat.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: Sorry gonna keep it short and simple. Faith is such a huge deal out here for both the people and for us. We really don't have the answers to everything and now we've got to try and explain things in another language. God is in the details, but he will not make himself known. That is because that takes away thr power of faith..

Love you guys hope you had an amazing holiday and are doing fantastic. Hasta la proxima!!

SHOUTOUTS📢

The work is moving along here, now we have a baptism date and she is just the coolest. We're hoping she can move her baptism sooner to this week . This week we have transfers and I swear if we get moved out before we baptize her I will flip out. It has taken so much work to get this place running again...  Well Tuesday started off a little bummy because that was the day that we were supposed to receive our carnets and all the other boys in my group did. BUT I DIDN'T. Let me help you picture what this place is like. It looks just like a dmv, with letters and numbers saying who goes next. Every single number is just randomized and it looks like a mess. I would argue that this place, called migrations, is worse than the DMV . The sad part was, I wasted my time in that office waiting like everyone else but did not get my brownie card . next week. What made up for it though was spending time with the boys that I had gotten close with in the MTC. So I guess it wasn't all too bad ...

  Whats up guys!! Hope everyone is having a great week this week because I feel like last week just ended. We had a busy week so maybe thats why it felt so fast. We've turned into robots. Finding people has become a rhythm. We just visit all the parks around here because 1 they are beautiful, and 2 it is where people go when they have extra time. As with the title we used the Spanish phrase at the top a lot. Which means, we don't want to take more of your time, which was just for us to stop talking with them to find some more people. The work is hard out here, especially when people love to talk about God and Jesus but never want to accept what we've asked of them. But at least we're spreading the gospel out here!! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: For my spiritual thought today I want to talk a little about why we as members of the church of Jesus Christ love not only the joy our gospel brings but what Jesucristo does for every one of us. So it begins. Why do members of the church wa...

  Well the sweet and dreadful transfers happened last week... luckily me and my companion are staying another transfer!! My area here has been a real stick in the neck and frustrating, and brown. Not counting how much of a baby mission it is with food cooked for us for two meals and laundry done and folded by someone else... I've been trying to find the good here in where I'm at. Like the food            But trying to teach people who don't want to do anything we ask them to, can really getcha. People's agency is important to God, but sometimes I wish I could just get people to keep their promises... But God has a plan, a plan that is so perfect that even his most rebellious and disruptive child cannot stop the joys we have waiting for us after this life. This week was real boring and we have mostly had lessons with people who we are dropping. It's hard to look at your work and say you're doing a good job when there really isn't anything to show. But a...
