     What up what fam and friends yes the title is true and I did dream in Spanish but let me get to it in a minute. But to start out this week was interesting none the less!!

   Had a blast putting down 2 fechas for this week absolute blessing!! Their names are Luz Medina and Belen Bobadia and they are progressing so much so any prayers for them would help them so much🙏

   We have been going out with the new Elder missionary whose name is Elder morales and he is over 60 years old and still has the heart of a child. He has been such a support, him and his wife. For those of you who want to know more about him i will share my favorite memory of him so far!!
   We were walking to a members house and somehow we got to the topic of missionaries and their dear Johns!! (For those of you who don't know what dear john is, its where a missionaries girlfriend writes him from home to break up...) and what happened is he made up a song for it! Ill share what he made up. "Hace dos semanas mi novia me escribió, luego ella me dijo, ella se casó🎵" to translate, "two weeks ago my girlfriend wrote to me, then she told me that she had gotten married🎵" so that was way too gunny hahaha!
   
     Okok onto my dream, so to start it was about the husband of our pensión whose name is Fetch (nickname from the gringos no idea what his actual name is) and he came to me with this book. He opened up the book and there were musical strings going along the book and it looked kinda messy. He looked me in the eyes and said "mira, así es como tocas" (look, this is how you play) then he started playing and said "no necesitas nada más" (you don't need anything more) so that was a really interesting dream and it almost went by without a second thought. Cool

     Spiritual thought💭👻
Ok so for my spiritual thought I wanna talk about the capacity to be allowed to break... let me explain. 
   Lately I've been looking at and studying the example of Jesus Christ. And his ability to be broken and changed through the strength of his Father. For me there were three moments where I could clearly see Christ either broken or maliable. The first one was clearly shown when Jesus was suffering in Gethsemani by saying "not my will be done, but thine" true selflessness brings the biggest outcomes. Then next was Jesus on the cross, his pain not only physically but mentally knowing the people he loved had their hearts broken. Again true selflessness. The last time was 3 Nephi 17, when Jesus has so much compassion he allows his plans to be changed by his priorities. To serve his fellow brothers. So where are our priorities. Clearly not aligned with God if we have fear to show our weakness to others around us.
     First thing I learned is that to try and stand strong in the face of adversity and keep from breaking is a clear sign of a hard heart. Jesus had a capacity to let the Father break him down so that he was built up anew. This ability takes true bravery and true faith and true confidence in the capacity of our Father. So I invite each of you to make God your highest priority through three things. Read the scriptures, pray to God the Father, and allow yourself to be lifted by those who lift by going the church. These will grow your confidence more than anything. In the name of Jesus Christ amen

   Sorry guys literally do not have any fun or interesting foods from the week I've been slacking...

Love you all so much keep sending emails love them, also prepare for Gen Conf its coming up.

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...
